The most frustrating fact in trying to relate to an audience the dangerous effects related to the fluoridation of our drinking water is this.. WATER FLUORIDATION SERVES NO PURPOSE! NONE! All benefits provided by the use of fluoride in fighting cavities are through topical applications. Topically applicated fluoride treatments are of benefit, as is topically applicated fluoridated toothpaste. But, as known even before water fluoridation, the ingestion of fluoride has NO oral health benefiting factors. SEE.. "Cavities: Fluoridated to Non-Fluoridated Water Comparisons" to learn the disturbing facts.
NOTE: The list below, detailing the documented adverse effects of fluoride continues to be updated. Updates are inserted at the top. (the term “updates” meaning, most recent additions and may or may not mean most recently discovered)
- Low birth rate in newborns as a result of low hemoglobin levels in expectant Mother’s drinking fluoridated water. (see associated video, “Dr. A.K. Susheela on fluoride poisoning of the soft tissues”)
- Obesity as fluoride has been shown to effect lipase production in pancreatic function
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Weakening of bones, leading to an increase in hip and wrist fracture.
- Liver damage, impaired kidney function
- Dental Fluorosis in children.
- Cancer: (OsteoSarcoma, Wikipedia) the most common type of malignant bone cancer, has been shown to be associated with fluoride exposure, including fluoridated water, in humans and animals.
- Increased uptake of lead, increasing the risk of ADHD
- Chromosomal damage and interference with DNA repair.
- Reduced Intelligence (A lowering of IQ).
- Inhibition of melatonin production and promotion of precocious puberty in animal studies. Fluoride may have an analogous inhibitory effect on human melatonin production, as fluoride accumulates readily in the human pineal gland, the brain organ responsible for melatonin synthesis.
- A weakened immune system, leaving people vulnerable to the development of cancer and AIDS.
- Damage to the male reproductive system in various species.

Former Advocate
To explain how I came to change my opinion about water fluoridation, I must go back to when I was an ardent advocate of the procedure. I now realize that I had learned, in my training in dentistry, only one side of the scientific controversy over fluoridation. I had been taught, and believed, that there was really no scientific case against fluoridation, and that only misinformed lay people and a few crackpot professionals were foolish enough to oppose it. I recall how, after I had been elected to a local government in Auckland (New Zealand’s largest city, where I practised dentistry for many years and where I eventually became the Principal Dental Officer) I had fiercely — and, I now regret, rather arrogantly — poured scorn Read More…
