Fluoride is Dangerous?

I've always said that my teeth were fine as a child until I started brushing regularly. Of course everyone told me I was crazy, but maybe I was on to something... .

How is fluoride dangerous? Let’s begin with a few quotes from some experts in the field:

"Fluoridation is the greatest case of scientific fraud of this century, if not of all time."
- Robert Carton, Ph.D. former US EPA scientist

"Fluoride is an accumulative poison which accumulates in the skeletal structures, including the teeth, when the body is exposed to small daily intakes of this element. ...it is like lead accumulation in the bone until saturation occurs and then lead poisoning sets in."
- Dr. P.H. Phillips, biochemist, University of Wisconsin

"I know of absolutely no, and I mean absolutely no means of prevention that would save so many lives as simply to stop fluoridation, or don't start it where it is otherwise going to be started. There you might save 30,000 or 40,000 or 50,000 lives a year, cancer lives. That is an awful lot of lives a year."
- Dr. Dean Burk Ph.D. (34 years at the National Cancer Institute). Judicial hearing, January 14, 1982. Safe Water Foundation vs. City of Houston, District Court of Texas, Harris County, 151st Judicial District, 80-52271

So how is fluoride dangerous? Simply because it’s a toxic waste...

According to an article by the Federal Debt Relief System, which you really need to read,

Fluoride, even in very small amounts, can calcify soft tissue, damage the immune system, make arthritis worse, inhibit enzyme systems, and cause teeth to show brown or yellow spots (dental fluorosis).

The truth is that fluoride and our water only go together to pollute you. It's toxic waste, more deadly than lead. When you take in fluoride, you're taking in a by-product of aluminum and fertilizer. This poison accumulates in the body in calcified tissues, such as the teeth and bones.

Convincing the American people that fluoride and our water go together to form a wonderful fight against tooth decay is another example of the people being duped by big business. Companies have made fortunes selling this poison to the public. And saved billions more by avoiding the need to clean up the pollutant in the process.

You really need to watch this video, which hosts dentists, toothpaste manufacturers, etc.

In Fluoride Policy is a Public Fraud, Mike Adams addresses the question of, how is fluoride dangerous...

"Fluorosilicic acid is not fluoride, it is something very different, and it strikes me as downright bizarre that it is perfectly legal to dump this toxic waste product into the rivers and streams of America as long as it passes through the bodies of human beings first.

"In other words, it's illegal to take a bucket of fluorosilicic acid and dump it into a stream, but it is perfectly legal to dump it into the bodies of human beings, whose waste products will subsequently enter those same streams and rivers.

"All of this is done under the guise of distorted scientific evidence that claims the mass consumption of fluorosilicic acid somehow improves the dental health of Americans. And yet there is no credible evidence that this is the case. All of the evidence cited by the EPA, the American Dental Association, and dentists has been fraudulently concocted, and quite frankly is decades old.

"Across America today, you see the effects of mass fluoridation all around you -- you see children with darkened teeth from fluoridosis, you see elderly people breaking their bones because fluoridation of the water supplies contributes to brittle bones. You see children with behavioral disorders that are multiplied by the effects of lead in their bloodstream, and lead uptake is enhanced in the presence of fluoride in public water.

"You also see a great number of neurological disorders in the U.S. population. You see problems with migraine headaches, clinical depression, dementia, and Alzheimer's, and there is a very strong link between these diseases and the long-term consumption of fluoride in the public water supply."

Read the full article for yourself! P.S. It looks like I need to find a toothpaste that doesn't contain fluoride (any advice would be welcome).

UPDATE -- Comment from Flip Flop Mamma -- "Yes, we are aware of this. Isn't it crazy? And they put fluoride in baby water too (water to make formula with)... . We use Tom's of Maine peppermint toothpaste. You can usually get it at Target or Walgreens, but only the peppermint, the other ones are kind of gross:) but be careful because there are 2 kinds and one has fluoride and one doesn't." There you have it, from an expert!
