Water Fluoridation & IQ reduction

water fluoridation world map

60% of the U.S. population drink fluoridated water, including 46 of the nations 50 largest cities.

FLUORIDE FACTS:
-Journal of Epidemiology shows children drinking water with EPA-approved fluoride levels had problems reading & writing

-a study conducted on rats found a significant reduction in the brain receptor for learning & memory

-fluoride added to water with even small amounts of aluminum causes severe destruction of critical brain cells in the area of learning & memory
leading to increased risk of ADD, ADHD, dyslexia

-those with Alzheimers & Down's Syndrome were found to contain elevated levels of aluminum absorption, signaling a possible link

-fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland in the brain, the source of melatonin,
which regulates the onset of puberty & sleep
Additionally it protects the brain against free radicals

-Fluoride also accumulates in the thyroid gland and can suppress its activity

-fluoride added to the drinking water of experimental animals caused significant reductions in sperms counts and testoterone levels and a dramatic increase in mutated sperm.
Leading to mega levels of infertility

-men working in cryolite(50% fluoride) or aluminum factories are found to have lowered sperm counts and reduced infertility

-one study found genetic damage to cells exposed to just 1 ppm

-fluorides associated with the development of overgrowths of calcium in the bones (bone spurs)
which are potentially crippling, especially if they develop in the spine

-when fluoride is present in the bones it weakens the cortical bone,
which gives the bone strength leading to fractures

-Osteosarcoma increases by 50% in fluoridated areas,
a cancer most seen in young men in their late teens and 20s

Many studies have linked fluoridated water to cancer:

-a study was conducted on 10 large cities with fluoridated & non-fluoridated water,
before fluoridation came to the masses the cities had an equal number of cancer death rates,
after 13-17 years of it found a 10% increase in cities with fluoridated water
Canada: 15% increase
Michigan's Public Health Service: 22% increase

-Oral cancers could be as high as 33%-50% at levels of 45ppm
toothpaste typically contains between 1,000 & 1,500 ppm
fluoride gels in dental offices: 15,000 ppm

-industrial exposure to airborne fluoride can lead to a 35% increase in lung cancer
additionally it can lead to significantly higher incidence of laryngeal & bladder cancer
