Fluoride Toxicity & The Thyroid Gland

Recent research has linked fluoridated water consumption to thyroid dysfunction.

Evidence also suggests it may contribute to or exacerbate behavioral problems such as ADHD.

Despite irrefutable evidence of harm, the United States still adds fluoride to municipal water supplies to about 211 million Americans. As of 2012, more than 67% of Americans were receiving fluoridated water.

A growing number of countries, including Germany, Sweden, Japan, the Netherlands, Finland and Israel, have ceased fluoridating drinking water.

Water fluoridation has long been promoted as a "safe and effective" way to improve dental health. This is a claim that in reality has no firm basis in science. On the contrary, the evidence clearly suggests there are wide-ranging health hazards associated with fluoride exposure.

British researchers are now warning that 15,000 people may be needlessly afflicted with hypothyroidism in the UK as a result of drinking fluoridated water.

In areas where fluoride levels in the water registered above 0.3 mg/l, the risk of having a high rate of hypothyroidism was 37% greater compared to areas that do not fluoridate.

Fluoride Detrimentally Affects Many Tissues in Your Body:

There are more than 100 published studies illustrating fluoride's harm to the brain alone, plus 43 more that directly link fluoride exposure to reduced IQ in children! Studies have also demonstrated that fluoride toxicity, caused by overexposure, can lead to:

1. Weight gain

2. Depression.

3. Increased lead absorption

4. Disrupted synthesis of collagen

5. Hyperactivity and/or lethargy

6. Muscle disorders

7. Bone and other cancers

8. Arthritis

9. Skeletal fluorosis and bone fractures

10.Genetic damage and cell death

11. Damaged sperm and increased infertility

12. Inhibited formation of antibodies

13. Immune system disruptions
