Fluoride And Osteoporosis?
Even if you do not drink water from your tap you are getting a lot of it in your system from bathing, cooking and almost all of our food supply is contaminated with fluoride. Fluoride is readily and cheaply available in other form should someone want it so why should everyone be exposed?
Dr. Yiamouyiannis (former science director of the National Health Federation) cited a 1990 study of 541,000 cases of osteoporosis that found a definite connection between hip fractures in women over 65 and fluoride levels. The study was written up in JAMA. Several other major studies are cited, massive amounts of research, again all reaching the same conclusion - the undeniable correlation of fluoridation with osteoporosis and hip fracture in the elderly.
Bone Is Living Tissue.
Bone building is a finely balanced, complicated process. Fluoride has been known to disrupt this process since the 1930s. Dr. Alesen, who was the president of the California Medical Association, clearly explains what fluoride does to bone formation.
He cites dozens of international scientific studies proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that fluoride has caused thousands of cases of osteoporosis, skeletal thinning, fractures, "rubber bones," anemia, and rickets.
Fluoride also causes osteoporosis by creating a calcium deficiency situation. Fluoride precipitates calcium out of solution, causing low blood calcium, as well as the buildup of calcium stones and crystals in the joints and organs.
So Why Do We Continue Fluoridating In Present Day?
One word...money!
Toxic disposal. The rise of the EPA since the 1970s. The increase in environmental consciousness as a political tool for creating the illusion of safety in recent decades.
Fluoride is a toxic byproduct in the manufacturing process of manmade chemicals.
Millions of tons of this poison are produced every year. Imagine the cost of containing and disposing of those mountains of waste every year. It's in the billions.
Lobbyists from these industries have presented "scientific studies" paid for by the industries, and provided for a continual stream of media presentations about the health benefits of fluoride. They have created unimaginably lucrative positions for "research" and "education" within the Medical Conglomerates and Associations that are systematically destroying our health.
What are the economic advantages of that? Instead of paying money to dispose of toxic waste, money could now be made by selling fluoride to the water companies of the nation.
They basically use the public water supply as a sewer for industrial wastes and since there is money to be made, the vicious cycle has continued for decades.

Thank you for this article. I was NOT happy when our city decided to fluoridate our water supply. We had no choice in the matter .Money talks louder than people. If a child needs this for their teeth there are treatments. What is odd it destroys the teeth too. Who knows, many things are on the rise such as autism, we just may be poisoning our self's with all this chemical warfare and I am not talking about mustard gas and nerve agent either.

I stay in Australia and the state I lived in had fluoride interior the water, then I moved to a various state the place they did no longer have fluoride interior the water and that i will certainly say I had by no ability seen such enamel decay previously, even youthful little ones had undesirable yellowing of their teeth. The community dentist even had a petition calling for the state to place it interior the water. i'm uncertain if the human beings had a miles better possibility of psychological ailment, rashes or brittle bones yet i will attempt to look that up. My new state now has fluoride interior the water.

There are a few drawbacks to fluoridating the water. But it's not quite the shadowy conspiracy that you make it out to be. They aren't dumping the stuff in the water to get rid of it. Or to make money. They're doing it because fluoride really does an enormous amount of good for almost everyone. It has been one the great success stories in the history of public health.
And it is SYSTEMIC fluoride (i.e. what gets into your body from drinking fluoridated water) that helps your teeth just as much as TOPICAL fluoride (i.e. what you get from brushing). Because the systemic fluoride is in your saliva, so its effect is constant.
Most people vote in favor of fluoridating their water supplies. Because they understand that generally it's a very good thing. But if you don't want fluoride in your water, you can buy filters that will get rid of it.

Our family does not poison ourselves with fluoride. We installed a reverse osmosis filtration system. It removes all the fluoride, the chlorine, the alum and all the other poisons the government adds to the drinking water.
Your post is accurate and correct.

Say what you will, I grew up with fluroide in the water and didn't have a cavity until I was 25.

too much meat is another factor in osteoporosis. that's why American women have more than Japanese women.
