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.
