Nine Shocking Dangers of Fluoride Exposure
Guest Writer for Wake Up World
Exposure to fluoride is a contentious topic, mostly because exposure is everywhere. Not only is fluoride a common ingredient in toothpaste, many municipalities have a fluoridated water supply. Why? Well, the reason we’re given is that it encourages oral health… even though it’s not known to prevent harmful oral bacteria. [1] What is known is that fluoride is toxic. In fact, the number one reason for poison control calls concerning fluoride are for children who’ve eaten toothpaste. [2] [3] Long-term ingestion is harmful to the brain, digestive system, heart, bones… even the tooth enamel it’s supposed to help. [4] [5] [6]These next 9 shocking facts will make you take a second look at your exposure to fluoride.
1. Weakens Skeletal Health
Skeletal fluorosis is a condition resulting from fluoride consumption. The liver is unable to process fluoride, thus it passes into the bloodstream where it combines with calcium that’s been leeched from the skeletal system. You’re left with weak bones, otherwise known as skeletal fluorosis. The risk has been known about for decades yet it’s not been established how much exposure will trigger skeletal fluorosis… and the impact it has on quality of life is horrendous. [7] [8] [9] The best way to protect yourself is to avoid fluoride. Recently, Chinese authorities established a link between reductions in fluoride exposure and the incidence of fluorosis. [10]
Fluoride has been shown to cause calcification of cartilage, the essential tissue for joint health. [11]Degenerative osteoarthritis has been linked to skeletal fluorosis. [12] And in a study of individuals suffering from fluorosis, osteoarthritis knee conditions occurred frequently. [13]
3. Toxic to the Thyroid
Iodine and fluoride belong to a family of compounds known as halogens. Although iodine is beneficial to the thyroid, fluoride is not. However, because of the similarities, the thyroid can absorb fluoride instead of iodine. This is bad. Fluoride is toxic to thyroid cells; it inhibits function and causes cell death. [14] For decades, fluoride was used to reduce thyroid function in individuals suffering from an overactive thyroid. [15]Now — and pay attention to this — the range used in water fluoridation matches the levels typically used to reduce thyroid function. [16]
4. Calcifies the Ultra-Important Pineal Gland
Although the full capabilities of the pineal gland have been the subject of debate for centuries, it’s known for certain that, at a minimum, the pineal gland regulates body rhythms and wake-sleep cycles; two extremely important functions. Fluoride is especially toxic to the pineal gland, where it accumulates and calcifies the gland. In fact, by the time the average person reaches old age, their pineal gland will have higher calcium density than their bones. [17]
5. Accelerates Female Puberty
It also deserves mention that the pineal gland plays an integral role in the onset of puberty. Research has shown that girls living in areas prone to more fluoride exposure experience puberty earlier than girls exposed to less. [18] Fluoride’s damaging effect on sexual function only begins here…

So the alternative is better? Having a mouth full of cavities??
Flouride only appears to reduce cavities because it delays the development of kids teeth. Its processed food that causes bad teeth not lack of flouride. Too much flouride can actually be detremental to teeth.
The 4 of us all had weak tooth enamel and we all have fillings. Fluoride in toothpaste does help to control further damage.
you can brush your teeth with bi-carb
Seriously, how did and does humanity survive
Wait, could this be way? ADAPTATION.
Sometimes I do not like being a skeptic but when I reflect on life I realize it has saved me in more ways than it has hurt me. financially, emotionally, logically… et al
One thing I have become good at is detecting hyper hysteria which always leads to irrational behavior and this article falls under this category.
Dear BIN;
Infinitely better than fluoride to protect teeth is anacardic compounds in raw cashew nuts, which kill the bacteria very efficiently.
I have found that the anacardic acids in raw cashew nuts and maybe mangoes do an excellent job of curing an abscess from gram positive bacteria, which are the most prevalent cause of tooth decay and tooth aches You may see my article on this subject at; http://charles_w.tripod.com/tooth.html . It is also discussed briefly in the 2005 edition of Medical Hypotheses, 65; 289-292. Wikipedia discusses anacardic acids in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacardic_acid .
I would like to urge you to explore making these medicines available in the pure form from pharmacies for a Streptococcus medicine or in tooth paste. This would have several advantages; 1. a variety of application methods would be possible, needles, brushes, swabs, sprays, and etc. 2. It would probably eliminate allergy. 3. It would probably be less expensive than cashews. 4. It would be easier to apply massively locally. 4. It would be easier to test against the pathogenic species involved. 5. It would be more emotionally acceptable to the medical profession who tend to prefer chemicals over anything as amateurish as natural products. 6 It would be easier to control amounts. 7. It would be easier to carry it on camping trips, etc. 7. It would probably have an infinite shelf life.
Anacardics would be much more effective in killing decay bacteria than fluoride and without the dangerous side effects (see http://charles_w,tripod.com/fluoride.html ). This would be especially valuable since these medicines would probably prove to be valuable against other gram positive diseases such as acne, leprosy, Streptococci, Staphylococcus aureus, anthrax, Listeria monocytogenes, Actinomyces naeslundi, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Propionibacterium spp, and maybe even tuberculosis as well.
I switched to non-fluoride toothpaste and floss and noticed better lasting over-night memory in less than a week.
