Fluoride, The Amount Ingested Makes The Poison
Fluoride, The Amount Ingested Makes The Poison
By Viola Woolcott
Being considered as toxic waste, fluoride is an acute toxin with levels slightly higher than that of lead.
“The amount ingested makes the poison”. Half of the amount you ingest every day retains in the body and that makes it so dangerous - approximately 50% of the daily intake will be eliminated by healthy kidneys, and the rest absorbed in calcified tissues, i.e. bones and teeth.
You are in the high risk group for fluoride poisoning if you suffer with impaired kidney function - that goes for children, the elderly and includes many AIDS patients, as well as people with diabetes and heart ailments, calcium magnesium, Vitamin C and immune deficiencies.
Fluoride is one of the most bone seeking elements. Researchers found strong evidence linking fluoride to joint pain and state that fluoride causes the bones to be more brittle and to cause bone fractures.
Causing damage to teeth, it weakens the dental enamel, which leads to a dental condition called FLUORISIS (severe arthritic bone disease) caused by an excessive intake of fluorides.
Studies have shown that children in particular are at risk, even more the younger they are. Adults can absorb up to 0.5 mg per brushing and even if a pea-size amount is used for small children, the same amount will be ingested. For the younger child the amount is higher, as it has less swallowing control skills. In the US all toothpaste containers carry the skull and crossbones poison warning label, telling parents what to do if their child swallows more than the pea-size amount.
There are many concerns over fluoride’s health risks and water. It can not be controlled how much water people drink and also getting into drinking water as by-product from fertilisers, fluorinated medications, processed food, beverages, dental products, pesticides and polluted air as well as industrial exposures, ingestion of fluoride has very little benefit and to many risks.
Millions of tons are “legally” released into the environment on a daily basis. Lawn sprinklers, showers, toilet flushes to name but a few. For fertiliser and aluminium industries it is the ‘perfect’ way to release hazardous and toxic waste.
