What if I said, something that you were told was good, all your life was actually harmful?
This is the case with fluoridated water. What is fluoridated water? Well fluoridated water is fluoride that is put into water to attempt to help strengthen teeth and generally help oral hygiene.
My paper is about our water in America, namely our tap water. Our tap water has many types of chemicals in it that make it actually poisonous too our system. One of these is fluoride. Fluoride has actually been shown in recent studies to actually harm you instead of help you. 1 in every 6 Americans actually have fluorosis, which is a discoloration of teeth due to too much fluoride and 1 in 3 is has a fluoride related bone problem, like some forms of arthritis. Fluoride is also a neurotoxin that effects the way our brain works. It has been shown to actually calcify the pineal gland in the very center of the brain which is responsible for dreaming, abstract thought, and before death experiences. Fluoride is also shown to poison your digestive system too. The problem is not health of our teeth, for other studies show that our oral hygiene as a human population has gone done significantly more. Non-fluoridated countries oral hygiene actually improved more than fluoridated countries.
S o why would we have fluoride in our water? Well it all goes back to the aluminum industry where they use on average around 65lbs of fluoride per ton of aluminum. The smokestacks that they used to release gas had in immense amount of fluoride in it and killed nearly every animal and crop in the surrounding area. The government saw what happened and decide to regulate the fluoride released into the air. The other fluoride had to go somewhere so it went in to the public drinking water by the mass.
"As a pollutant, fluoride has sufficiently severe effects, and is widespread enough, that the American Association for the Advancement of Science named fluoride the third most serious air pollutant in the country, (after SO2 and ozone) in December 1966. More than fifty kinds of industries like those producing aluminum, steel, phosphate, oil, brick, and glass actually use raw materials containing fluorides or add fluorides to their products during processing. Coal, which is burned in massive amounts to provide electric power and heat, contains many fluoride impurities that are released to the atmosphere by burning." as stated by http://fluoridealert.org/articles/groth-1969/ .
So what can we do to not ingest this chemical? Simple, drink reverse osmosis water, which removes nearly all of impurities and chemicals in the water. Even some bottled water companies use tap water in a plastic bottle. Which can be even worse for you, depending on how long the water has been left. Find BPA free containers and fill it up with reverse osmosis water! Other steps include non-fluoridated tooth pasted and no soft drinks.
