Fluoride in the water ...

I will say we use toothpaste without Fluoride (will use toothpaste with it if that is what is available). The science is changing. Not an exact answer for sure. And I think this is a dumb thing to make a huge issue over. It should not be political. I will not lose sleep over water having fluoride in it. But I will say you may not want to have it every time you visit the dentist unless you have a history of real decay issues. We do not recommend it for our patients unless there is a real reason or they really want it.

 

General Ripper warned us long ago about the corruption of our precious bodily fluids via the fluoridation of drinking water. High time we listened.

 

That you, Mandrake?

 

Anecdotal. Upper 40s. Have grown up on fluoridated water my whole life. Drink tap water daily. Never had a cavity.

I'm indifferent to the issue as I don't know enough either way. A doctor I used to work for was the same although he said fluoride was a waste product that turned into a profit maker for companies that once had to dispose of it as a byproduct.

 

Fluoride is the equivalent of a daily vaccine for the teeth. Removing it would be foolish at best

 

Huh, where I live there are communities that have fluoride and some that don’t. Local dentists here claim they can tell if a patient grew up living in a community with fluorinated water or without.

 

Well, I grew up in the country where we had a well, no fluoride in our water and yet somehow my mom, dad, brother and myself never had issues, but we did brush our teeth twice a day

 

Dr. Ladapo held a press conference recently with a public warning over fluoride.

Floridians should be aware of safety concerns related to systemic fluoride exposure, including:

• Adverse effects in children reducing IQ, cognitive impairment, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
• Increased neurobehavioral problems in children whose mothers ingested fluoride during pregnancy.
• Accumulation of fluoride in the pineal gland, causing sleep cycle disturbance.
• Skeletal fluorosis, which could increase the risk of bone fracture.
• Potential risk of premature menarche in adolescent girls.
• Potential suppression of the thyroid gland by inhibiting iodine absorption.

FL Surgeon General Ladapo Issues Warning Over Fluoride in Public Water

 

Apparently, some of the conclusions drawn in this country originate from studies done in other countries where the fluoridation levels are higher.

The National Toxicology Program published a systematic review in August of research about the association between fluoride exposure and neurodevelopment and cognition. It concluded that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children.

That is twice as much as the 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water that U.S. health officials recommend for community water supplies.

"The determination about lower IQs in children was based primarily on epidemiology studies in non-U.S. countries such as Canada, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, and Mexico where some pregnant women, infants, and children received total fluoride exposure amounts higher than 1.5 mg fluoride/L of drinking water," the NTP noted in the report.

Scientists added there was "insufficient data" to determine if the lower level recommended in the U.S. has a negative effect on children's IQ. The NTP added there was no evidence fluoride exposure had adverse effects on cognition in adults.

 

Greater danger of reduced IQ by listening to anything he says. Check the Covid thread.

 

Likely more due to fluoride treatment (or having more of it). It can stain your teeth. Like mine…

Really interesting stuff out there when it comes to health. I can tell you my wife has had direct communication with experts in the field as she continue to grow in the field. The connection with the body and Nitrous Oxide is fascinating.

Again. I am not arguing to remove it from water either. Just think there are reasons to consider what works best.

 

Just curious, what’s the fluoride level in drinking water in England?

 

The levels in those studies are much much higher than in our dri king water. More gas lighting from a quack
