Fluoride is especially dangerous to infants and children. there are over 40 studies linking fluoride ingestion to decreased IQ. Infants who use fluoridated tap water to make their formula take in over 250 times more fluoride than is in breast milk. In fact, they take in more than the EPA has currently deemed as safe for their body weight/per day. The ADA has also stated that the main effects from fluoride come from topical use, not from ingestion. Unfortunately, even when used topically, you run the risk of toxic exposure (as you can read on the label of your toothpaste when told to call the poison control center if swallowed). the amount in a pea size of toothpaste equals one glass of fluoridated water. The fluoride in the water causes the leeching out of lead from the pipes it runs through. Fluoride is also a known endocrine disruptor and in a person with insufficient iodine levels, sits in a receptor site used by the iodine, and can decrease the production of TSH. Dr. Burke (who was a head scientist at the National Cancer Institute) has told us that fluoride increases cancer. Period! the fluoride chemicals used for water fluoridation come mostly from phosphate and aluminum plants. These waste products also mixed with other contaminants like arsenic, lead, mercury, radioactive isotopes (none of which are removed before adding to your water). There are currently over 1500 studies on the effects of fluoride on the F.A.N. network, and also Mom's Against Fluoride. You will also find that the incidence of dental caries has dropped almost equally in countries that do fluoridate versus those that don't. And when you look at the caries data BEFORE ANY fluoridation, you will find that the incidence of caries was already rapidly falling, due to cleaner foods, water, sanitation, improved healthcare habits etc...
