6:15 How to avoid fluoride toxicity

Is fluoride safe? Why are toxic ingredients in toothpaste and drinking water? Let’s take a look at some of the dangers of swallowing toothpaste and the toxic effects of fluoride.

Dental fluorosis is a common developmental defect caused by excessive fluoride exposure in children. It’s characterized by white spots and lines on the teeth due to damaged enamel. Around 40% of children will experience dental fluorosis when consuming water with optimal fluoride levels.

When you use fluoridated toothpaste or drink fluoridated water, it’s absorbed systemically into the body. Fluoride accumulates in certain tissues, such as the brain, thyroid, bones, and kidneys. Research has shown that higher fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQs in children.

You might assume that the fluoride added to your water is safer because it’s in the water supply, but this isn't true. The fluoride in our water supply is a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production!

Many industries repurpose industrial waste to boost profits, including the corn, sewage, petroleum, and seed oil industries.

Use a water filter certified for fluoride reduction to avoid fluoride toxicity and minimize exposure.
