into the body by drinking and absorbed into the bloodstream to be deposited into the teeth
and bones has any benefit. Quite the contrary. Fluoride accumulation in the bones has been
linked to osteosarcoma (bone cancer), arthritis like symptoms, bone deformities, and
brittleness of the bones.
One sign of over-saturation of fluoride in the body is dental fluorosis. This accumulation
of fluoride is revealed in a mottling or discoloration of the tooth enamel. In its mildest form
there may be white specks that appear on the teeth. In more severe forms the teeth can
appear stained with yellow or brown discoloration.
Dental Fluorosis
Dental Fluorosis is a telltale sign that fluoride levels have accumulated to dangerous levels
in the human body. The government’s own statistics state that one third of all people in the
U.S. manifest signs of dental fluorosis. In some cities, such as Atlanta, the percentage of the
population with dental fluorosis is as high as 80%.
Fluoride is added to public water supplies under the guise of helping to prevent tooth decay.
Yet it causes far more serious disorders than it is supposed to address. Dispensing any type
of medication through a municipal water supply is fraught with danger. The government
guidelines state that 1 part per million of fluoride in the drinking water is safe. Yet it makes
no allowance for certain members of the population being more sensitive to fluoride than
others. Neither does it account for the fact that some people drink far more water than
others, and thereby ingest much larger quantities of fluoride.
I suspect this is at least partly the reason that Atlanta has such a high percentage of dental
fluorosis. Atlanta is a Southern city that has very hot summers. Children are especially
susceptible to dental fluorosis and other effects of fluoride. Children playing outside during
the summer will drink lots of water. Additionally, iced tea is a staple drink in the south, and
it is usually made with local drinking water.
Although the original motive for the introduction of fluoride into the water system seems
to have been a desire to indemnify the aluminum and steel manufacturing industries
against loss by legal actions taken against them for fluoride pollution, there is a more
sinister motive to consider. It is suggested by some that fluoride has been so strenuously
promoted by the government because of its neurotoxic effects. Fluoride studies have shown
that the ingestion of fluoride by children markedly lowers their IQ.
