Fluoride Dangers
It is February, 2005, and I've spent the last year giving my daughter water
that I *knew* was best for her. We filter water at the tap, and even at the
refrigerator so that our water is as healthy as can be. (Or so I thought!) I
made sure to buy the children toothpaste without fluoride. But as I was learning
the dangers about fluoride, I must have gotten distracted because I didn't
research it fully until now.
I stumbled upon this information quite by accident. Someone had asked about a
supplement drink for her son, and I researched it for her. I wondered why
"fluoride" was included in the supplement, and quickly went to find information
for her about the dangers of fluoride. The first site that I came to will tell
you pretty much what you need to know. It's easy to remember:
http://www.fluoridation.com.
The next day, I checked the water quality of my county on-line, and saw that
there was fluoride in the water. So I emailed the contact person and asked if
fluoride is actually added to the water. I found out that it is, because it is a
state law! He said it would be this way unless, "constituents in a political
jurisdiction vote by referendum to discontinue it." He also went on to say that
unless you are using a "reverse osmosis" filter, it is not likely being removed
from your water.
Fluoride should not be taken internally for any reason. It's
benefits topically are weak at best, but internally, there are
NO benefits, and actually MANY negative side effects. Please
check out the resources below to learn more about fluoridation
and why many communities are fighting to keep (or get) fluoride
out of their drinking water.
I have been told that distilled water is actually the best form of water for
drinking. I have researched this fully and believe after reading a number of
sources both on and off line, that distilled water is THE absolute best and only
water that we should drink. For the best and most affordable distilled water,
you should purchase a
home
water distiller. It is the only way to guarantee that you are getting true
distilled water and not just water from somebody's tap.
News Release January 19, 2007-
CDC
Quietly Announces Fluoride Warning
American Dental Association: No Fluoride for Bottle-Fed
Infants
In a little-noticed but dramatic turnaround, the nation's
leading fluoride advocate, The American Dental Association (ADA), issued an
alert on November 9th (2006) urging parents to avoid fluoridated water when
reconstituting infant formula, warning that "Infants less than one year old may
be getting more than the optimal amount of fluoride if their primary source of
nutrition is powdered or liquid infant formula mixed with water containing
fluoride."
The dentists are worried that fluoride exposure at this age
will permanently damage teeth, not protect them. A growing body of research also
links fluoride to weakened bones, reduced thyroid activity, and possibly bone
cancer in boys.
The advice, however, has gone largely unheeded. Nursery Water,
the nation's leading fluoridated water for babies still markets its product
nationwide at Wal-Mart and other major retailers.
