Fluoride in Water

A Noted Chemistry Professor Speaks Out

 

If you think fluoride in water is necessary this video and short article will definitely make you think again. This noted chemistry professor speaks out strongly against fluoride in water after once being a proponent.

Dr. Paul Connett, Professor of Chemistry at St. Lawrence University in New York, gives a damning interview on the history of fluoride in water, the collusion of major industries to put certified toxic waste into your drinking water, and why government health authorities refuse to conduct scientific studies into the dangers of fluoride in water. After watching this video, you will never look at tap water the same way again.

Connett describes how he initially thought people who opposed fluoride in water were “a bunch of whackos,” before conducting his own research which found that sodium fluoride was a toxic substance that contributed to a wide array of health defects. Heavy industry is barred from dumping this toxic waste into the sea by international law, but being able to sell it enables them to remove its hazardous characteristic and it becomes a product, explains Connett, polluting not only our water supply but also toothpaste and thousands of different foods.

Connett provides a detail run down of the many health problems caused by fluoride consumption, including dental fluorosis, which the Centers For Disease Control just recently announced was a problem for 41 per cent of children aged 12-15 in the United States, clearly indicating that children are being over-exposed to fluoride and that this is affecting other tissues and organs in the body, including bone disorders, a problem also wreaking havoc amongst adults in the United States as one in three now suffer from arthritis, which again is being caused by a build-up of toxic fluoride in the body. Connett also points to fluoride’s connection with thyroid disorders.

There have now been over 100 studies involving animals which show that fluoride damages the brain, stresses Connett, which is a particular concern for newborn babies who are susceptible to fluoride build up because of their weak blood-brain barrier. Connett cites numerous studies which prove a link between moderate exposure to fluoride and lowered IQ in children.

Fluoride’s impact on the pineal gland, which is a piece of brain tissue that sits in-between the two hemispheres of the brain, is key because fluoride attracts to this gland like a magnet. Researchers have found through animal studies that fluoride lowers the ability of the pineal gland to produce the hormone melatonin, which in turn shortens the time it takes to reach puberty, correlating with studies of fluoridated communities that show girls are on average menstruating 5 months earlier than those in non-fluoridated communities. Children are entering puberty at increasingly early stages and this is causing widespread concern, but health authorities have made no effort whatsoever to conduct any studies regarding this development and its link to fluoride.

Since the 40′s and 50′s America has had fluoride in water

Back then it was believed fluoride had to be swallowed to be effective. Modern research has debunked this belief.  Fluoride is actually most effective when it applied directly to your teeth by a dentist or dental hygienist. So why is is there still fluoride in water after all these years?

Consider this, fluoride in water does not improve the quality or safety by any means. That is one of the reasons why most European countries have rejected the use of fluoride in water. They’ve also stated that water should not be a delivery method for medicinal treatment (treating tooth decay).

The EQ-300-HA2 Whole House Water Filter System will remove up to 90% of the fluoride in water without removing the beneficial minerals from your water. Call a representative at 1-866-523-4099 about our fluoride removal system.

It’s unfortunate to note that the individuals that are at greatest risk consuming fluoride in water are infants. Two years ago the American Dental Association recommended that parents not give babies water containing fluoride. Other dental researchers have issued these warnings for the past decade. Dental fluorosis is a high-risk problem for babies that consume fluoride in water. A medical journal called The Lancet stated that fluoride might damage developing brain cells, which could cause learning deficits and other problems.

Not only are babies at risk but also anyone who regularly consumes fluoride in water. Here are five scientifically researched risks that water fluoridation poses.

1. As with babies fluoride poses a risk to your brain. Human studies have shown effects on IQ. It is especially more prominent in people who eat a poor diet.

2. The NRC has called fluoride an endocrine disruptor. If you have a diet low in iodine it does pose a risk to your thyroid.

3. The NRC also stated that fluoride weakens bones increasing fracture risks.

4. There is a link to fluoride and osteosarcoma, which is a serious form of bone cancer.

5. People with kidney problems have difficulty eliminating fluoride and toxic levels can build up in the bones causing even more issues.

The benefits that fluoride in water…

supposedly provides have been for the most part over-exaggerated. It has been shown that there is no difference in the amount of tooth decay between countries that fluoridate their water and ones that don’t. Tooth decay does not increase when water fluoridation ends.

If the entire once believed benefits of fluoride in water have been proven wrong why are we still being duped into thinking it is something that is necessary, something we take for granted?

This article is a brief synopsis of the fluoridation issue. If you would like to get a more in depth analysis about the issue of fluoride in water visit Wikipedia.com.

Obviously municipal water supplies in the United States still add fluoride in water. They probably aren’t going to change this any time soon if at all. If you are concerned about the quality of your drinking water and want to be proactive you can do something about it. Purchase a high quality whole house water filter for your home that will remove up to 60% of the fluoride in water and a host of other chemicals that are harmful and present in your tap water.
