Cancer-Linked Fluoride Doesn’t Even Effectively Prevent Cavities
Despite numerous research pointing out the toxicity and harmful nature of fluoride, it continues to be added to the water supply. Being touted for its proposed benefits of reducing tooth decay and cavity development, fluoride is added to the water supplies of a significant number of cities and towns alike. Interestingly, research shows that the supposed benefits aren’t really what they appear at all, and that fluoride actually has no positive effect on reducing tooth decay or cavity development.
The West Virginia University Rural Health Research Center reports that urban U.S. children, with more exposure to fluoridated water and dental care, have just as many cavities as less fluoride-exposed rural children.
“For children’s dental health measures, it was found that fluoridation rates were not significantly related to the measures of either caries or overall condition of the teeth for urban or rural areas,” the researchers write, as reported by FluorideAlert.
Since the 1940’s, fluoride has been added to the water supply as a claimed method of preventing tooth decay. It was once believed (and still believed by some), that the primary benefits for teeth resulted from fluoride ingestion during the tooth-forming years. However, it is now thought by scientists, dentists, and researchers, that fluoride’s primary benefit comes from topical treatment, and not from ingestion. Fluoride has also been shown to be ineffective at preventing tooth decay in the pits & fissures of teeth, which is where most decay occurs.
Research conducted by the Cochrane Oral Health Group shows how the ingestion of fluoride is ineffective at reducing tooth decay in primary teeth. Not only does the research show that fluoride supplements are ineffective, but health risks from fluoride supplementation aren’t even studied enough for the supplements to be pushed in the first place. It was found that fluoride supplements, which are heavily endorsed by the CDC, provide no more benefit than topical treatments, which is safer due to minimal fluoride ingestion.
Adding to the downfall of fluoride use in our water supplies, the ineffective tooth-protecting nature of fluoride is accompanied by some serious health-related downfalls. In 1977, it was shown that water fluoridation caused about 10,000 cancer deaths in epidemiological studies by Dr. Dean Burk, former head of the Cytochemistry Section at the National Cancer Institute and Yiamouyiannis.
Another research paper documents how fluoride ingestion causes tumor growth rates to increase by 25% at only 1 ppm (part per million), while also producing melanotic tumors and increasing carcinogenesis of other chemicals. Based on the research at hand, it is safe to say that fluoride ingestion should be avoided. Investing in a reverse osmosis water filtration unit is one solution to reducing fluoride ingestion, while drinking distilled water for 3-6 months may also reduce the soft tissue fluoride levels.
There is NOTHING beneficial about INGESTING fluoride!
Topical applications may be fine but everyone should reconsider ingesting it through the tap water. Approximately 75% of Florida residents are being forced to ingest fluorosilicic acid by the municipal governments. The FDA has approved 3 fluoride compounds to be used in toothpaste but has NEVER approved of the toxic waste that they are polluting our drinking water with.
Please join us in our effort to stop the practice of putting toxic chemicals in our tap water.

My mother gave me fluoride drops as a child. My baby teeth rotted from my mouth and the adult teeth came in permanently, horribly stained. I never had much energy as a child.
I had a fluoride treatment at 16. I was horribly sick the rest of that day. I began having serious, severe insomnia and eventually depression. I have struggled with chronic fatigue since that time.
I was sure there was a physical problem, but the doctors kept saying, "You're just depressed," and throwing pills at me. I now know that many of those pills were fluoride-based.
Almost 5 years ago i was given Cipro for an infection. My life has never been the same. Cipro is a fluoroquinolone drug – it is fluoride-based.
Fluoride is dangerous, dangerous, dangerous in many many ways and doctors are clueless about these dangers.
thankyou for this information. I ask when will this fluoride deception stop..the evidence is available to every person interested in health and unexplained reasons why the suffering of many health problems. The use of fluoride is a disgusting deception to man kind. Not only to humans, we share this planet with many other species that are adversely affected by this heavy metal environmental toxin. We are poisoning our own nest. Put a stop to fluoride.
