Israel Bans Fluoride

As of August 26, 2014, the Ministry of Health in Israel lifted the mandatory requirement for water fluoridation that was put in place in 1970. There is now a nationwide ban on water fluoridation in Israel. Since 2010, over 150 US communities have either stopped water fluoridation or rejected new proposals. Canada has dropped from about 60% of the population drinking fluoridated water down to about 33%.

Fluoride Exposure Is Linked to Reduced Intelligence:

The debate over the dangers of fluoride has been ongoing for more than six decades, despite the fact that study after study has confirmed that fluoride is a dangerous, toxic poison that bio-accumulates in your body while being entirely ineffective at preventing dental decay.

In 2009, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) added fluoride to a list of “chemicals with substantial evidence of developmental neurotoxicity. Recently, it was also added to a list of 11 known industrial chemicals that harm brain development in human fetuses and infants, compiled by researchers from Harvard School of Public Health and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

So what exactly does fluoride do to your brain?

There are at least 39 human studies linking moderately high fluoride exposures with reduced intelligence and 12 human studies linking fluoride with neurobehavioral deficits. There are also three human studies linking fluoride exposure with impaired fetal brain development and approximately 100 animal studies linking it to brain damage.
Why Is the American Academy of Pediatrics Recommending Fluoride Toothpaste for Children?

While Harvard researchers added fluoride to their list of chemicals that harm brain development in infants, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), going starkly against the precautionary principle, issued a new recommendation encouraging the use of fluoridated toothpaste for all children.

It’s also known that over time fluoride accumulates in many areas of your body, including areas of your brain that control and alter behavior, particularly your pineal gland, hippocampus, and other limbic areas. Animal studies have shown that fluoride ingestion had a profound influence on the animals’ brains and altered behavior. Pregnant rats given fluoride produced hyperactive offspring. Animals given fluoride after birth became apathetic and lethargic .

Fluoride advocates also often claim that the reduction in tooth decay that’s occurred since the 1950s is a benefit of fluoridated water, but the facts just don’t add up. Tooth decay rates “precipitously declined” in ALL Western nations, regardless of whether or not fluoridation was used and most of those countries did NOT fluoridate!

According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, the US, which fluoridates about two-thirds of public water supplies, actually has higher rates of tooth decay than many countries that do not fluoridate their water, including Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden. If fluoride were effective in preventing caries, you would expect to see an increase in tooth decay when fluoridation is stopped. Yet, this is not what we see!
