Fluoridation and Cancer | The cancer link risk of fluoride is real

We must remember that water-borne fluoride is only one source of our daily fluoride intake. You know that our food chain is now carrying a heavy load of absorbable fluoride, mainly from food processed with fluoridated water. You also know that fluoridated toothpaste, at 1000-1500 ppm, causes the absorption of at least 1 mg fluoride (a day’s worth of fluoridated water) with each brushing. There are also fluoride mouth washes and some people are given high-dose fluoride for treatment of osteoporosis. It is also now clear that the supposed dental benefits of fluoridation are not evident, in any study of the past 20 years. In this regard, you should know that a report being circulated by the New York State Department of Health contains the conclusion that the dental effect of fluoride is topical and not systemic, as was once thought. This is highly relevant as it means the very reason for adding fluoride to our water is no longer operative.

Therefore, if the information concerning the link between fluoride and cancer has any importance to you, then get to work and convince the authorities that our public drinking water should not continue to be contaminated with fluoride. The cancer link risk of fluoride is real; let’s turn off the fluoridation equipment and allow our water agency folks to get back to their job of providing clean, healthy water for us all.
