A little historical background is needed to understand how the use of fluoride became accepted. It all started from the Manhattan Project. For those who are too young to remember, the Manhattan Project was initiated to develop the atomic bomb. The research was conducted in New Jersey just across the river from Manhattan. Fluoride was used to cleanse the uranium, which was the key component to making the atomic bomb. The production of fluoride caused much damage in the surrounding neighborhood. The glass panes in the farmer’s homes became etched; the local animals developed sever arthritis, forcing them to graze on their knees because of the pain in their joints; the farmers and their families also became sick; their peach trees became damaged severely affecting their income. As a result of all the damages, the farmers filed law suites against the government, the military, and DuPont. The problem was if the law suites were tried in court, the information about the use of fluoride would get exposed and alert the Germans about America’s project to develop the A-bomb. To defuse the issue, our government started a propaganda campaign of how beneficial the use of fluoride was. professionals wrote articles espousing the attributes about fluoride and of course the American Dental Association pushed the concept that fluoride prevented tooth decay. All this was done to defuse the law suites and prevent the truth from getting out.

If you read the book, Fluoride the Aging Factor by John Yiamouyiannis, P.h.D, you will get the truth about fluoride. The man made Stannous fluoride is toxic where as the naturally occurring fluoride (calcium fluoride) is not. Dr. Yiamouyiannis also proved that the statistics from the studies on fluoride proved that it was not effective in preventing tooth decay. Most people have no idea of this information and the illusion regarding fluoridated tooth paste continues.

Five facts you should know about fluoride:

1. A Harvard study confirms that fluoride reduces children’s IQ.
2. Documented that fluoride ages the skin and the body.
3. Fluoride is linked to weight gain, thinning the hair, and brittle nails because it suppresses thyroid function.
4. FDA requires that all fluoride toothpastes show poison warning.
5. Fluoride is linked to acne, osteoporosis, bone cancer, and depression; again because it suppresses thyroid function.
