Of course, the people that say that putting fluoride in your water say it has absolutely no adverse effects on you. What does Science have to say?
Sure, there has been tons of research done into the health effects of fluoridated water and it’s links to cancer, birth defects, gastrointestinal issues, and the urinary system. On the other hand, almost no research has been done into the neurological effects that fluoride has on the human body. New studies are showing that among other things, fluoride can lower your IQ.
How bad is fluoride exactly? Originally fluoride, which is a byproduct of the fertilizer and aluminum industries, was added to water to fight tooth decay in children. The studies that were done to establish the link between tooth decay and fluoride were originally conducted in the 1940’s. Americans top the lists of fluoride consumers in the world at an amazing 60 percent, which is amazing considering that 97 percent of western Europe has rejected the use of fluoride because of it’s health risks.
Fluoride is a known suppressor of the thyroid gland and has been directly attributed to hypothyroidism, which causes lowered immunity, lowered levels of energy, reduced sex drive, and unexplained increase in weight. Cancer rates are also higher in areas with fluoridated water. I mean, a 2008 Scientific American report came right out and said: “Scientific attitudes toward fluoridation may be starting to shift”, because new research revealed the obvious links between fluoride and disorders affecting, bones, teeth, the thyroid gland, and brain. The study also “Concluded that fluoride can subtly alter endocrine function, especially in the thyroid — the gland that produces hormones regulating growth and metabolism.”
