Fluoride Findings…
The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) has studied the nature and effects of fluoride for decades and has found no discernible health benefits from adding fluoride to water supplies. These studies have also revealed that patients of all ages, and children in particular, ingest more fluoride through toothpaste and other topical applications than is necessary as a daily dosage.
How can fluoride damage your health?
While western medicine suggests that fluoride helps reduce and prevent tooth decay, the truth is that fluoride is a neurotoxin and can cause damage to your health. If the amount of fluoride you consume exceeds your body’s level of tolerance it may result in a number of systemic health problems, including:
- Brittle bones and tooth enamel
- Cancer
- Decreased glucose tolerance
- Dental fluorosis
- Depression
- Increased blood lead levels in children
- Lowered IQ (especially in children)
- Thyroid deficiency
- Weight gain
