An interesting note about fluor


What comes to your mind when you think about flour? Most likely you are thinking of "health for teeth." As many other things, there are reports of world-famous claim that the fluoride does much more than "take care of the teeth" and not necessarily talking about things apparently POSITIVE.

THE FLUOR

Fluorine is a  element relatively abundant in nature and form compounds with most of the elements except the noble gases helium, argon and neon. Fluoride is a very toxic and reactive. Many of its compounds, especially inorganic, are also toxic and they can cause severe burns and deep. Must be careful to prevent liquids or vapors in contact with the skin and eyes.

FLUOR AND TOOTH DECAY?

1.The fluoride inhibits acid-producing enzymes in bacteria of the dental plaque. This observation is valid, but some scientists now believe that the damaging impact of fluoride on other useful enzymes is heavier than beneficial effect of preventing tooth decay.
2.The fluoride ions bind to calcium ions, strengthening tooth enamel in children. Many researchers considered more an assumption than a fact, because of the conflicting evidence from studies in India and other countries during the last 10 to 15 years. However, the agreement is universal that excessive fluoride intake leads to loss of calcium in the matrix of the tooth, producing a amelogenesis imperfecta known as dental fluorosis. Severe overexposure, chronic and cumulative can cause skeletal fluorosis.

NEUROTOXICITY OF FLUORIDE
Sodium Fluoride is currently added to most municipal water systems worldwide. Authorities say that the only objective is to prevent tooth decay in children. Usage has increased rapidly since the 50's.
Sodium Fluoride is also registered with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) as a rat poison, although advocates say its use at low levels in water poses no adverse health concerns.
There is considerable research on fluoride to cancer, birth defects and risks to the respiratory, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, however, there is little research regarding its neurological effects.
For many years, scientists in Nazi Germany found that they could weaken the mental functions of humans with intakes of fluoride, the same Nazi scientists were hired by U.S. plans to develop a program of weakening of the human mind to the world Fluorine through from those years significantly increases the intake of fluoride in humans.
Another Chinese study found Attention Deficit Disorders in adult humans, if given sublingual drops containing 100 ppm sodium fluoride.

Apart from drinking fluoridated water, the most common sources of fluoride exposure is processed beverages, toothpastes, mouth rinses, dietary supplements and food. The toothpastes contain 1000 to 1500 ppm of fluoride and mouth rinses contain 230-900 dpi fluoride.
In 1995, in an article entitled "Neurotoxicity of Sodium Fluoride in Rats" which appeared in the journal Neurotoxicology and Teratology, Dr. Phyllis Mullenix J Department of Toxicology, Forsyth Research Institute, in Boston, says:
"It remains unexplored, however, there is the possibility that fluoride exposure is linked with subtle brain dysfunction. This is the first study to demonstrate that the functioning of central nervous system is vulnerable to fluoride and that the behavioral effects age-dependent exposure occurs and that fluoride accumulates in brain tissues. of course, extrapolating behaviors, but a break generic behavioral model as the one found in this study in rats may be indicative potential for motor dysfunction, IQ deficits (IQ) and / or learning disabilities in humans. substances that accumulate in brain tissue potentiate concerns about neurotoxic risk. "
And the same report of Neurotoxicology, Teratology and Preventive Psychiatry reported as fluoride exposure during pregnancy is related to learning disorders (decreased IQ), Attention Deficit Disorders Conduct.
