The Dangers of Fluoride & Water Fluoridation

"Since the 1940's fluoride is used in toothpaste and it is added to drinking water in many countries around the world. The dental profession claims that fluoride is safe and necessary for good dental health.

However, fluoride is a highly toxic industrial waste product created in the aluminium, phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizers industries. Millions of tons of fluoride are produced each year.
Up until the 1930's, fluoride was discharged directly into the air and waterways, causing great harm. Lawsuits were mounting as more and more victims understood that their problems were caused by fluoride poisoning. The industry's response was to change the public's perception of fluoride.

Many 'scientific' studies were presented to convince the public that fluoride was safe. Lucrative positions were created within the medical community for 'research' and 'education' with the express purpose of promoting the use of fluoride in toothpaste and fluoridated drinking water. Instead of paying for the disposal of this toxic waste, fluoride was now being sold to toothpaste and water companies!

Drinking water is fluoridated in many countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Hong Kong, Singapore and Chili.
Fluoridation by country
Most toothpaste brands contain the poisonous chemical fluoride as the main active ingredient. In 1984, Procter and Gamble, the manufacturer of Colgate toothpaste, admitted that a small tube of toothpaste contains enough fluoride to kill a child. American toothpaste now comes with a warning label which states that if more than a pea-sized amount is swallowed, a Poison Control Centre must be contacted immediately.

Millions of many young people -up to 80 percent in some U.S. cities- now have dental fluorosis, the first visible sign of excessive fluoride exposure.
Fluoride also causes calcium deficiency in the bones which can lead to osteoporosis, skeletal thinning, fractures, anemia, and rickets.

Fluoride prematurely ages the body because it damages enzymes. This in turn affects the immune system, digestive system, respiratory system, blood circulation, kidneys, liver, thyroid and brain function. Fluoride can cause hyperactivity and a lower IQ in children.

Numerous scientists, bio-chemists, toxicologists, physicians and dentists have spoken out against the use of fluoride.
