Toothpaste: “WARNING: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek PROFESSIONAL HELP or contact a POISON CONTROL center immediately.”

 A crushing body of evidence and the raised eyebrow of the FDA incriminate Fluoride in toothpaste and mouthwash as a toxic drug “not fit for human consumption.”

Breaking Fox News: “EPA Reverses Itself on Fluoride.” Unaware there’s a problem? That happens when folks blindly trust, don’t question authority and live in blissful ignorance.

For decades fluoride’s been marketed as obligatory for oral hygiene. It’s in most toothpastes and mouthwashes while parents are aggressively encouraged to give their kids fluoride treatments. After all, 9 out of 10 ‘Experts’ can’t be wrong.Cue cynicism.

 Historically, our leaders have a dreadful track record acknowledging health risks associated with certain corporate chemicals, especially when its agencies have already determined these products as “safe”. Sad how times change, but truth does not. It’s taken government 60 years to admit American’s have been overexposed to this harmful chemical though several studies by the National Toxicology Program show fluoride causes bone cancer, particularly in young men. This jive’s with studies documenting it causes cellular mutations associated with cancer. Drinking Fluoridated water causes damage to the brain and kidneys, compromises the pineal gland, trashes immunity, lowers IQ, and in Washington DC specifically, they determined people drinking only one quart from their public water supply each day ingest more than 1,428 times the safe dose of fluoride which explains the current political zeitgeist of DC.

 In 1950, Procter and Gamble tossed three million dollars at IU Bloomington bio-chemists to produce contrive a cavity-preventing prototype. They ran clinical trials on 1,500 innocent children and 400 naïve adults. After testing, a good half of the participants showed substantial decrease in dental caries viola, Crest was invented. Back in the 40s, our ‘scholarly’ leaders encouraged municipal water authorities to add fluoride to community’s drinking water. According to the CDC approximately 70 percent of the U.S. population ingests fluoride through drinking water; in Europe only 10 percent.

In an encouraging reversal, Fox reported the EPA will lower the maximum amount of fluoride in drinking water because of growing evidence supporting fluoride’s snarky effects to children’s temples. In 2006, the National Academy of Sciences reported dental fluorosis, caused by too much fluoride puts children at risk of developing breakdown of tooth enamel, discoloration and pitting. In addition, another study found excessive ingested fluoride increases the risk of bone fractures and abnormalities.

That’s why I lovingly badger you to be vigilant, due diligence and admit “experts” are often dead wrong. Revisit your dental hygiene ritual, read labels, and look for xylitol on the label.

A reverse osmosis system can remove fluoride.
