Fluoride Facts
The Only Aargument for water fluoridation is it’s ability to fight cavities in developing teeth, with an emphasis on DEVELOPING teeth. And that is not proving itself to be true. And, if it were true, why the recent warnings stating FLUORIDATED WATER SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMED BY INFANTS OR USED IN BABY FORMULA? And, if beneficial at any age why is no one stating the fact that fluoride NEED NOT be ingested? And any use of fluoride can be benefited, its benefits can be seen through topical applications alone? These are the questions that are increasingly being asked by all who are informed but are somehow being left out of the news media throughout the country. This should be extremely troubling questions. Statistics and studies have long proven that fluoride becomes toxic above certain levels. In Drinking water for instance it is recommended to be between 1 and 2 ppm. Well, you should know that fluoride is found naturally in most foods. However, the fluoride that is used in water fluoridation is not the naturally formed fluoride that is found in nature. Additionally, fluoride is increasingly being added to many consumer foods and beverages.
As the level at which fluoride becomes dangerous as a health risk or even lethal, (read your toothpaste warning label) is listed at 1 to 2 ppm (parts per million) does it make any sense for proponents of water fluoridation to be insisting that the level added to drinking water in the battle against dental decay be maintained at the 1 to 2 ppm level? When the amount of (sodium fluoride, or fluoride left over as as an un-natural and toxic bi-product in the production of aluminum) in baby foods, soda, and other every-day-foods are not included as part of the equation in determining safety from risk, it begins to look suspicious.
Observe the following list and try to determine how many parts per million of fluoride are being ingested by U.S. families. Bear in mind that a dosage above 2 ppm swallowed (the approximate amount of fluoridated toothpaste used in one brushing) instructs parents to call poison control emergency should their child swallow such an amount. Also, take into consideration the fact that all benefits from fluoride as a means of fighting tooth decay, if is as declared by proponents to be factual, can be applied topically and need not be ingested.
