We know that over 20 studies, many of which come from prestigious organizations like Harvard and are published in federal government journals, have told us how sodium fluoride is crushing our IQ. We know that a major head at the National Cancer Institute revealed decades ago that fluoride was causing ‘cancer waves’ in the United States.
So, remind me again, why are we still drinking fluoride in our ‘clean’ tap water around the entire world?
As it turns out, it’s because Harvard and federal government journalists must all be wackjob conspiracy theorists! The peer-reviewed research warning that fluoride can cause permanent damage to unborn babies by affecting their neurological development is all a big conspiracy theory to the mainstream media. The sodium fluoride that is literally assaulting the brain in mega-high doses of 5,000 PPM in ‘prescription fluoride’ toothpaste being dished out by dentists who say their childhood patients are ‘deficient’ in the IQ-destroyer is perfectly safe in their eyes.When analyzing the Harvard research, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, a component of the United States National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, we find quite a few concerning details. The study makes it explicitly clear how damaging sodium fluoride can be, with writers explaining:
“The children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ than those who lived in low fluoride areas.”
The EPA had similar statements, demonstrating how fluoride displays ”evidence of developmental neurotoxicity” and can damage unborn babies. We read:
”Fluoride readily crosses the placenta. Fluoride exposure to the developing brain, which is much more susceptible to injury caused by toxicants than is the mature brain, may possibly lead to damage of a permanent nature.”
Let’s go even further back to the research of Dr. Dean Burke, head scientist at the National Cancer Institute and author of over 250 scientific articles. Back in 1977, the decorated scientist spoke out against fluoride and brought it to the attention of the National Cancer Institute. At that time, Burke found that sodium fluoride was fueling the development of cancer cells and tumor growth — at the average level of 1 PPM. He estimated that around 10,000 had died from the fluoride-induced cancer from that level.
As I detail in the video below, now we see levels as high as 5,000 PPM in toothpaste, 500,000% higher than the water fluoridation levels Burke was examining:
I guess no one told the media that even the United States government called for lower fluoride levels after a mountain of research accumulated regarding these links. They must be conspiracy theorists too.
The fact is that the fluoride debate hits a brick wall thanks to the rhetoric the mainstream media and laughable ‘skeptics’ use by throwing around terms like ‘conspiracy theory’ to discredit any real debate. In fact, it’s actually working against them. Right now we have so many conscious citizens realizing that they don’t want to consume the tainted tap that it’s really considered outlandish in many areas to drink from the tap without at least a fluoride-removing filter of some kind. A lot has changed as more information comes out.
We’ve seen a push for fluoride bans around the world, from Australia’s Queensland to regions within Florida. And the movement has been heating up.But still, how could we possibly allow this fluoridation to go on for as long as it has? Even if there was only some research indicating an issue, isn’t it enough to begin withdrawing it from the water — or at least enough to conduct more independent research? I think any reasonable person would agree the answer is yes.
It’s time to accelerate this issue from a tired debate of ‘conspiracy’ theory name-calling to a topical issue we can generate a victory for. We’ve done it for GMOs; we’ve done it for high-fructose corn syrup; we’ve done it for BPA. It’s time to blast this information into the stratosphere and demand action.

Is fluoride unsafe for some people to ingest?
ReplyDeleteNo. According to thousands of peer-reviewed studies, fluoride produces no negative health effects at the level used to fluoridate drinking water. It is also not deemed an allergen, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.
Fluoride is a natural mineral and already exists in many sources of drinking water in the U.S. It is harmful to humans only in very high concentrations. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) identifies the optimal level of fluoride in public water systems as 0.7 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of water.
Do studies show that water fluoridation is linked to lower IQ scores in children?
The Truth: Absolutely not. The flawed IQ studies being cited by anti-fluoride groups were in fact not about municipal water fluoridation but were poorly designed foreign studies about water systems with extremely high levels of fluoride up to 1500% higher than optimally fluoridated water. Even the authors of the study have said that their results do not relate to the safety of water fluoridation in the U.S.
The Facts:
• The foreign studies that anti-fluoride activists cite involved fluoride levels that were at times 400% to 1500% the level used to fluoridate drinking water in the U.S., and other contaminants such as lead or arsenic were generally not tested suggesting a strong possibility of bias. It is irresponsible to claim these studies have any real meaning for our situation in the U.S.
• British researchers who evaluated these studies from China and other countries found “basic errors.” These researchers pointed out that the lower IQs could be traced to other factors, such as arsenic exposure, the burning of high-fluoride coal inside homes and the eating of contaminated grain.
Does water fluoridation cause cancer and other serious health problems?
The Truth: All the major health and medical organizations agree: optimally fluoridated water is both safe and effective, and is not linked to any of the health concerns opponents of fluoridation falsely claim.
The Facts:
• The American Academy of Family Physicians, the Institute of Medicine and many other respected authorities endorse water fluoridation as safe. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that “panels of experts from different health and scientific fields have provided strong evidence that water fluoridation is safe and effective.”
• More than 3,200 studies or reports had been published on the subject of fluoridation. Even after all of this research, the best that anti-fluoride groups can do is to claim that fluoride could cause or may cause one harm or another. They can’t go beyond speculating because the evidence simply doesn’t back up the fear they are attempting to generate in the public mind.
• The cancer claim is part of a pattern. According to the American Council on Science and Health, “Historically, anti-fluoride activists have claimed, with no evidence, that fluoridation causes everything from cancer to mental disease.”
• A 2011 Harvard study found no link between fluoride and bone cancer. This study reviewed hundreds of bone samples, and the study’s design was approved by the National Cancer Institute. The study is significant because the National Research Council reported that if there were any type of cancer that fluoride might possibly be linked to, it would probably be bone cancer (because fluoride is drawn to bones). The fact that this Harvard study found no link to bone cancer strengthens confidence that fluoride is unlikely to cause any form of cancer.
• Opponents usually cite a 2006 study when they raise the cancer issue, but they omit the fact that the author of this study called it “an exploratory analysis.” Instead of measuring the actual fluoride level in bone, this 2006 study relied on surveys about water consumption, with a lot of potential for error.

Connection of fluoride with effects on IQ and Cancer is not backed up by scientific facts other than some quotes from some published articles..
ReplyDeleteI have also heard fluoride being easily absorbed in human body, will it not displace the chlorides? Will it not accelerate thyroid and related issues?
Now coming to high dosage of fluorides in Toothpastes, what is that really you want to conclude with?
