In this last presentation,
Daniela and I will introduce you to a really interesting topic related to a
chemical that maybe you don’t even care about.
Have you ever wondered what
are you drinking when you turn on the tap in your kitchen? What would you react
if I told you that there were some chemical particles, such as fluoride, that
are damaging your health and lowering your children’s IQ?
Recent independent research
by scientists not associated with dental trade organizations has shown how
fluoride contained in “fluoride water” can damage our health causing cancer, changes bone
structure and strength, impairs immune system, provoking different diseases
such as, osteoarthritis, suppresses thyroid function, birth defects and perinatal deaths, and it
also can lower our children’s IQ. However since we were little kids, we grew up
believing that fluoride was beneficial for our health as it prevents tooth
decay.
Many independent
researchers, organizations, holistic healthcare experts and a growing number of
dentists are warning their patients to avoid fluoridated water and fluoridated
toothpaste and to definitely not give children any fluoride since they appear
to be more susceptible to the neurological toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridation
is not legal, so why we are still using it?
As a point of information,
do you know that in the 8th region of our country, the water is not fluoridated,
because the population sued the water treatment plant that existed in 2005,
requiring water without fluoride?
Do you think that is time
that the population starts concerning about their risks that our health is
facing in front of these toxic chemicals?
Here you can find more information about this issue:

I'm actually very frightened after reading this! I had no idea that fluoride was dangerous at all, because as you said since we were little children they taught us that it was good for our dental health! Nowadays you don't know what to believe anymore; what the scientist said 10 years ago it was good now is bad and vice versa! The same thing with milk, since I was a kid I knew drinking milk was good for your physical development, but now they are saying that it actually does not help. Anyway, I'm going to think it twice before open the tap next time! Thank you for this very useful post, Adolfo!

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Fluoride was dangerous for our health. A recent study by the University of Harvard found that the children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ than those who lived in low fluoride areas. Another study by the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, also called for further studies on the issue. They found that fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in animals and adults. Other studies, including a 2006 report by the U.S. National Academy of Science, have concluded that fluoride affects brain function and can cause other health problems (cancer, arthritis,bone fracture,diabetes,among others). Most of the research , however, has been conducted in countries without government fluoridation of public water supplies, but not in the United States, which fluorides over 70% of it's water supply.
