#Fluoride Is One Big Ridiculous #Scam

by Gary TruthKings

 

Fluoride is medication infused into your water. Like sugar added to a can of Coke, Fluoride is a medication, a chemical, added to water. Many people hear the word “fluoride” and don’t give it much thought, but they should. The realization that Fluoride is mass medicating our society should help to lend a sense of concern over the matter for those who don’t currently give it much notice.

So why then is our tap water a mass medicating faucet?

Via the FDA – Recommendation for Using Fluoride to Prevent and Control Dental Caries in the U.S. (Centers for Disease Control, 2001):

“Widespread use of fluoride has been a major factor in the decline in the prevalence and severity of dental caries (i.e., tooth decay) in the United States and other economically
developed countries. When used appropriately, fluoride is both safe and effective in preventing and controlling dental caries. All U.S. residents are likely exposed to some degree of fluoride, which is available from multiple sources.” (Summary section, page 1)

The most common justification for the use of Fluoride in our faucet water is that it “helps decline tooth decay.” Let’s ignore that for just a moment and regroup.  On September 14th, 2014, Time.com wrote a piece about the relationship between sugar and tooth decay. It was titled Sugar Is The Only Cause Of Tooth Decay, Study Says (source). The article revolved around a study which put forth the concept that tooth decay was caused by an over consumption of sugar (source).

There is a robust log-linear relationship of caries to sugar intakes from 0%E to 10%E sugar. A 10%E sugar intake induces a costly burden of caries. These findings imply that public health goals need to set sugar intakes ideally <3%E with <5%E as a pragmatic goal, even when fluoride is widely used. Adult as well as children’s caries burdens should define the new criteria for developing goals for sugar intake.

If this is true, and most sophisticated, modern medical officials do believe that it is, then why would we choose to lace our most vital resource on planet earth with a substance that wouldn’t be needed if people simply cut back on refined sugars? The Time article was one of the more prominent articles, but it certainly wasn’t the first to note the relationship. However, Fluoridation proponents created spin to offset the results of studies showing high sugar intake and tooth decay by promptly asserting that Fluoridation levels had been also simultaneously lowered by bottled water production.

In a 2007 Live Science piece, the author noted that sugar intake was reasonably certain to be a primary cause, but also asserted a caveat.

The reason could be the increase in processed food children eat and a decrease in the fluoride they are exposed to, as kids drink more bottled water instead of fluoridated tap water , according to study lead Bruce Dye of the National Center for Health Statistics.

The fact is, kids and adults eating less sugar is certainly the largest influence of factors on tooth decay. But again, the Fluoride is justified with propaganda. When Fluoridated communities were compared with non-Fluoridated communities, Fluoride was proven to be a non-factor.

“[R]esults of recent large-scale studies in at least three countries show that, when similar communities are compared and the traditional DMFT index of dental caries is used, there is no detectable difference in caries prevalence. This has been demonstrated for schoolchildren in the major cities of New Zealand, Australia, the US and elsewhere.”

Once you kick the myth that Fluoride is saving our teeth, you have to ask yourself, is it good for anything? Let’s look at some facts.

Fluoride is labeled by the FDA as a drug. The Government is infusing our tap water with a drug, without our consent. Drugs react in varied ways with different people. In any other environment, a drug could never be given to you without consent, but in this case, Fluoride is added directly into your most vital human resource.

Why would water need Fluoride? It is our most precious resource, the resource used by humans and animals for thousands of years to evolve, the bulk of which the resource was sans Fluoride. Whether you believe God created our resources, or some other ideal, it is difficult to conclude or suggest that changing a natural element is beneficial to mankind.

“Water fluoridation goes against leading principles of pharmacotherapy, which is progressing from a stereotyped medication — of the type 1 tablet 3 times a day — to a much more individualized therapy as regards both dosage and selection of drugs. The addition of drugs to the drinking water means exactly the opposite of an individualized therapy” (Carlsson 1978).

Fluoride consumption doesn’t stop with tap water, think of all the products you consume on a yearly basis that were made using Fluoride laced water. Consider all the toothpaste that contain Fluoride. Even some meats get Fluoride during deboning processing. How much Fluoride could we possibly need?

Again, Fluoride is a drug. It isn’t a vitamin. There is no science stating that our bodies need Fluoride. Fluoride exists in our system based on faulty, flimsy science.

Fluoride is found in baby formula, so those mothers choosing not to breast feed substantially increase the amount of Fluoridation their infants receive. Again, Fluoride is a drug, according to the FDA. It is not vital to human life. Is this something you really want your precious infant to ingest in elevated quantities?

Here is an excerpt from a 2006 National Research Council review, Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Review of EPA’s Standards.

What the committee found is that we’ve gone with the status quo regarding fluoride for many years—for too long really—and now we need to take a fresh look . . . In the scientific community people tend to think this is settled. I mean, when the U.S. surgeon general comes out and says this is one of the top 10 greatest achievements of the 20th century, that’s a hard hurdle to get over. But when we looked at the studies that have been done, we found that many of these questions are unsettled and we have much less information than we should, considering how long this [fluoridation] has been going on.

So what can you do? Well, you already know how to avoid the tap water. You can breast feed. You can write your congressman, particularly at the local level, and get involved with online communities that oppose Fluoridation. But most of all, you can research the facts on your own, even past this article.
