I started out with good intentions! I decided to talk about fluoride. Research done on fluoride showed it would be beneficial to our children's teeth, right? Well, in a Harvard study in July, has found that there is a relationship between fluoride and reduced IQs! The U.S. fluoridation proponents have continued their approach of forcing individuals, including children to ingest fluoride through tap water and food made with it. The United States in conventional risk assessment uses a default margin of safety that is ten times the levels that cause adverse effects. (Harvard study, 2012).
This truly was to be about how fluoride in the drinking water was good research to strengthen our children's teeth! Once I started looking for articles, however I ran across this one and it was over!
As the public is learning, there are deeply disturbing details that have been omitted from reports about fluoridating our water. Some children are at much greater risks than others. "A UNICEF-funded study (http://www.fluoridealer.org/uploads/lin-1991.pdf) for example, found that children with iodine deficiencies suffered reductions in IQ at low fluoride levels. (Harvard study, 2012). This situation is unnerving and very serious. Fluoride is toxic and the USDA has the public believing it is beneficial to us! How many children will suffer needless harm because of our government's inability to tell us the truth?
Thank you for letting me share this information with you. Please go to this website and read it for yourself!
