Why I would never use Fluoride Toothpaste again?
For decades now it has been ingrained within the collective mindset that fluoride is a necessary component for healthy teeth. It therefore goes without surprise that for many of us a toothpaste, or water, without
fluoride, is like some horrible disservice to our health. But as the famous question goes, what if everything you knew about something was wrong? What if there is a whole other story to fluoride that is only recently being told in its fullest sense? In this essay we will examine that story and why more people today are saying "no thank you" to the presence of fluoride in their toothpaste, and water.
Why this Ad?
Although the tides are changing, most people, as well as most health professionals are still greatly convinced that fluoride is an essential component of good, healthy oral hygiene. And although it may seem new, the fluoride debate has been going on for decades. Governments and health care professionals have been trying to battle out of whether
to fluoridate or not fluoridate since the 1940′s when the practice began.
For many of those decades however, fancy advertising from toothpaste companies has made us immune to see fluoride as anything but beneficial. Initial toothpaste was often made without fluoride and citizens were making sure that their brand had fluoride in it - dentist's orders.
Today however, the information making us choose otherwise is growing louder and stronger. One by one, many cities around the world are opting to stop fluoridating municipal water. One by one, informed citizens are choosing fluoride-free toothpastes. One by one, we are causing a ripple effect that is turning the tides on how we see toothpaste and its role in our health.
What Is Fluoride?
Chemically
fluorine is the 9th element in the periodic table, and in the same family as chlorine, bromine and iodine.
This chemical family of elements is called the
halogens. They are non-metallic and salt forming. Halogens are highly reactive, and as such can be harmful or lethal to biological organisms in sufficient quantities. Fluorine is one of the most reactive elements in existence, and is a corrosive and highly toxic gas. The toxicity of
chlorine is also widely known, and controversial in itself as an additive to water.
Naturally, when elements bond their properties usually change drastically. Some go from harmless to harmful, and others vice-versa. Depending on what fluorine bonds with, the new compound will determine ultimately how it will act within a system.
Fluoride is formed when fluorine gains one extra negative charge, called an electron. In common toothpastes and some city water supplies, fluoride exists paired with sodium, as
sodium fluoride.
What we do know today for sure, is that fluoride's adverse effects depend on total fluoride dosage from all sources, and naturally vary from person to person. Thus, even if one cannot eliminate all the sources of the fluoride in their life, a conscious reduction can make all the difference where our health is concerned.
The Dangers of Fluoride
While a lot of people think that fluoride prevents tooth decay, most of us don't realize that fluoride can actually cause a type of tooth decay called
dental fluorosis – most commonly observed in children.
Harmful effects of fluoride have also been linked to
osteoporosis,
thyroid problems,
endocrine problems and
cancers, just to name a few. There are many studies that support these probable links available out there. We can dedicate several articles alone to how the presence of fluoride in our lives contributes to each of these.
When it comes to thyroid disruption, this seems to be a big topic linked to the presence of fluoride in our lives. Even if you know nothing about each, most of us do know that
iodine has a powerful effect on our thyroid. Iodine is in the same chemical family as fluorine, so one can quickly align that it is not far fetched at all, that fluorine would also affect our thyroid gland in some way – be that in a positive or negative form.
What else we do know for sure is that babies and young children are at the greatest risk for various problems where their health is concerned from exposure to too much fluoride, both short-term and long-term. Many health professionals agree that children should not be given fluoridated water to drink.
