The evidence
of fluoride over-dose is amassing at an alarming rate
In 1971,
the National Academy of Sciences estimated that an adult's
daily average fluoride intake was about 1.0
- 1.5 mg/day in the early 1950s. This was considered
"optimal"
at the time. The chart below is a graphic example of how
much we're now getting. However, even the maximum values
will not reflect true intakes for some subsets of the population.
For example, athletes, diabetics, pregnant women, construction
workers, and heavy tea drinkers can consume considerably
more fluoride (up to 14 mgF/day). Case reports have shown
that arthritis can be markedly alleviated by giving up tea. |

According
to the World Health Organization, in combination with certain
other factors (e.g., sub-optimal nutrition, kidney disease,
etc.), a chronic fluoride intake of between 2.0 and 8.0 mg/day
can produce the pre-clinical stage of skeletal fluorosis,
a debilitating and/or crippling bone disease. The pre-clinical
and early stages of skeletal fluorosis can be mistaken for
arthritis. |

 |
Because
of water fluoridation and other fluoride products, dental
fluorosis is now pandemic in our children. It's the first
visible sign of fluoride poisoning. The structural integrity
of enamel is compromised and small pits are left in teeth
as it breaks away. Even with mild fluorosis, enamel is subject
to increased erosion and attrition. |
