When I was a kid growing up, we were always told that fluoride was good for people. Our water had fluoride, our tooth paste had fluoride and little did we know how it was really affecting us. Rather than to protect teeth, fluoride actually causes them to rot and can do some real harm to a person’s nervous system.
Other symptoms of fluorosis include IQ issues and brain disorders, as well as toxicity risks and cognitive damage. The best way to be sure that you’re avoiding this harmful substance is to check the label of the water bottles you’re purchasing. If they include fluoride, it’s best to avoid drinking them at all costs.
“Fluoride seems to fit in with lead, mercury, and other poisons that cause chemical brain drain. The effect of each toxicant may seem small, but the combined damage on a population scale can be serious, especially because the brain power of the next generation is crucial to all of us,” Phillipe Grandjean, a researcher and author, said of fluoride consumption.
Some of the brands of water bottles that list fluoride as an ingredient include Sierra Springs, Poland Springs, Crystal Springs, Deer Park, Ozarka and Zephyrills. Safe brands include Evian, Aquafina, Dannon and Smart Water.
One reader disagrees:
“When my son was born the Doctors gave fluoride drops I don’t remember how much I was told to give him, but the fact is he was an honor student and did very well he was in basketball, football. I do not believe there is enough floods to hurt anyone in bottled water. We are told to drink water from our faucets it has fluoride, but also chemicals to keep water fresh and clean.”
last week, five people were shot in the head. Four died and one went on to go to college and made the Dean’s List every semester. Does that mean getting shot in the head is good for you?
