CDC and ADA Now Advise to Avoid Using Fluoride

Now the Journal of the American Dental Association has
published a study that found increased fluorosis risk among infants who
were fed infant formula reconstituted with fluoride-containing water, as
well as used fluoridated toothpastes.

The authors noted:

"Results suggest that prevalence of mild dental fluorosis could
be reduced by avoiding ingestion of large quantities of fluoride from
reconstituted powdered concentrate infant formula and fluoridated
dentifrice."

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also followed suit, warning on their Community Water Fluoridation page
that mixing powdered or liquid infant formula concentrate with
fluoridated water on a regular basis may increase the chance of a child
developing enamel fluorosis.

They also state:

"In children younger than 8 years of age, combined fluoride
exposure from all sources—water, food, toothpaste, mouth rinse, or other
products—contributes to enamel fluorosis."

This is as far as the CDC warnings go, however, and they continue to
state that water fluoridation is safe — and dental fluorosis is only a
"cosmetic" problem. In reality, neither of these assertions is true.

Dental Fluorosis is a Sign of Excessive Fluoride Intake

Dental fluorosis results in white and brown spots on your teeth. It is only
caused by fluoride — typically due to ingesting too much fluoride
during your developing years, from birth to about 8 years of age.
According to the CDC, about one-third of U.S. children aged 12 to 15
years have very mild to mild forms of enamel fluorosis on their teeth.

Promoters of fluoridation say that these markings are "just
cosmetic," but it can also be an indication that the rest of your body,
such as your bones and the rest of your organs, including your brain,
has been exposed to too much fluoride also.

As Dr. Paul Connett, a chemist specializing in environmental chemistry, explained in our recent interview:

"We know that 32 percent of American children have been
overexposed to fluoride because you have this telltale sign of dental
fluorosis, which in its mildest form is little white specs. But when it
gets more serious, it affects more of the surface of your teeth and it
becomes colored; yellow, brown and orange mottling of the teeth …

The teeth are the window to the bones. If you’ve seen the damage to the teeth, what damage can you not see?"

In other words, if fluoride is having a detrimental, visual effect on
the surface of your teeth, you can be virtually guaranteed that it’s
also damaging something else inside your body, such as your bones.

Bone is living tissue that is constantly being replaced through
cellular turnover. Bone building is a finely balanced, complicated
process. Fluoride has been known to disrupt this process ever since the
1930s.

Why it’s Dangerous to Swallow Fluoride

The United States is one of only eight countries in the entire
developed world that fluoridates more than 50 percent of its water
supply. It is added under the guise that it helps prevent and control
tooth decay …

This is in spite of the fact that there never been any demonstrated
difference in tooth decay between countries with fluoridated and
non-fluoridated water, and no difference between states that have a
high- or low percentage of their water fluoridated.

Even promoters of fluoridation concede that the major benefits are
topical; fluoride works from the outside of the tooth, not from inside
of your body, so why swallow it?

The fluoride added to your drinking water is in fact a chemical waste
product! It is NOT something you should use as a supplement to your
diet.

There are plenty of studies showing the dangers of fluoride to your health, such as:

• Increases lead absorption
• Disrupts synthesis of collagen
• Hyperactivity and/or lethargy
• Muscle disorders
• Brain damage, and lowered IQ
• Arthritis
• Dementia
• Bone fractures
• Lowers thyroid function
• Bone cancer (osteosarcoma)
• Inactivates 62 enzymes
• Inhibits formation of antibodies
• Genetic damage and cell death
• Increases tumor and cancer rate
• Disrupts immune system
• Damages sperm and increases infertility

As far as tooth decay is concerned, this is not caused by lack of fluoride.

Tooth decay is caused by acids in your mouth, typically created from
sugar being metabolized by bacteria (Streptococcus mutans), and as you
may already know, the number one source of calories in the United States
is high fructose corn syrup.

The acid produced then attacks your enamel. Eventually the bacteria
can get into the dentine, at which point tooth decay sets in. So there
are far better options for decreasing tooth decay than using a topical
or ingested poison, with a chief one being minimizing your intake of
sugary foods and eating a healthful diet.

You typically don’t find dental caries in more primitive societies
that do not consume vast amounts of sugar like in the United States.

Make Sure Your Children are Not Exposed to Fluoride

One of dentist Bill Osmunson’s
main concerns is water fluoridation for infants. The ADA and the CDC
now both recommend that infants NOT receive fluoridated water for
drinking, nor for making their formula, as fluoridated water contains
250 times more fluoride than mother’s milk.

"We shouldn’t fluoridate water and harm our most vulnerable," Dr. Osmunson says.

It is my strong belief and recommendation to avoid giving your children fluoridated water.

Unfortunately, the only way to ensure your water is pure enough to
drink is by installing ahigh quality water filtration system in your
house, such as a reverse osmosis filter that can filter out much of the
fluoride and other dangerous water contaminants like disinfection
byproducts (DBPs).

Remember that most bottled water also typically contains fluoride,
even though it’s not stated on the label, and whatever you do, avoid
using "nursery water," which is fluoridated water sold specifically for
infants.

Fluoride in your drinking water is one more reason why breastfeeding your infant is so essential. Nature has kept breast milk virtually fluoride-free for a reason.

If you are unable to breastfeed and are instead using formula, make
sure the water you use is fluoride-free. Again, for now the best way you
can provide pure, fluoride-free water to your family is by using a
reverse osmosis filter, which you can install in your home.

Even better, if you are unable to breastfeed use this recipe to make homemade infant formula using raw milk and no water at all.

Keep in mind also that if you are a pregnant woman it is equally
important for your water to be fluoride-free, as this chemical can harm
your developing fetus.

The Ultimate Solution is to Get Fluoride Out of Tap Water

Even though the ADA and the CDC have issued warnings that parents not
use fluoridated tap water to make infant formula, neither of them has
openly informed the public!

So there are millions of parents out there using tap water to make up
formula, oblivious of the fact that the agencies that promote
fluoridation in this country have issued a specific warning against
using fluoridated water for this purpose.

Not only that, but by fluoridating the municipal water supply you
doom many low-income families to fail to protect their young children
from this dangerous drug, even if they have this information, as they
simply don’t have the resources to install a reverse osmosis system.

This is why the only real solution is to stop the archaic practice of water fluoridation in the United States.

The Fluoride Action Network
is an absolutely phenomenal resource for further education, and they’re
doing much to pressure the US government for change. We will be working
together to devise a complete game plan to tackle this issue head on.
Once we reach the tipping point, which may be as little as 5 percent of
the population, we will be able to reverse the policies of water
fluoridation.

Our strategy will begin with addressing Canada, because 60 percent of
Canada is already un-fluoridated. If we can get the rest of Canada to
stop fluoridating their water, we believe the U.S. will be forced to
follow.

In addition, I highly recommend getting a copy of Dr. Connett’s new book, The Case Against Fluoride,
for more information on the bad science and political agendas that got
this toxic chemical in our drinking water and is, at least for now,
keeping it there.
