Yep, I'm back on the fluoride subject again.

What are the health effects of Fluoride?

• Doesn't prevent tooth decay
• Damaged sperm and increased infertility
• Disrupted immune system
• Muscle disorders
  -Increased tumor and cancer rate
  And more... Fluoride is BAD for us. Not good for us.

What started the Fluoride in the U.S. ?

In 1945, Scientists believed that after seeing some evidence. That area with more fluoride intake had fewer cavities. As a result, They encouraged it to be added to drinking water.

What countries put fluoride in the water?

Here is a chart I stole off the internet on who fluoride our water.

What Is Fluorosis?

When you consume accessive amounts of fluoride, It can cause white and brown spots on your teeth. Many children consume way too much Fluoride. And it causes these spots. It's in our toothpaste, Our water, and even our freaky food!

Our FOOD Has Fluoride in it!

I had no idea about this until now; It turns out that. Non- organic foods are full of fluoride because of the pesticides in the food!

There have been studies that have shown, that there are no effects on cavity prevention. So why are we eating, Drinking and brushing with Fluoride? It makes no sense.

• You can avoid the Fluoride by purchasing organic food!

How To Avoid Fluoride

You can avoid Fluoride in a couple of ways, But unfortuneately if you live in a country that puts Fluoride in your water, It can be difficult to completely remove it.

Buy organic

Consider a high quality filter

Getting a high-quality reverse osmosis filter can help get a lot of the nasty fluoride out of the water. It won't remove all of it, But it will remove quite a bit.

Bottled water won't save you.

Yes even bottled water has fluoride. Even if it doesn't mention it.

Look for toothpaste WITHOUT Fluoride.

This is actually harder than it sounds, I remembered when I first wanted to make the switch, I had trouble finding any toothpaste that didn't have Fluoride, Then finally I found it.
Here are my favorite brands.
Cinnamon Toothpaste
Seafresh Toothpaste

Take Vitamin D

While this won't decrease your Fluoride exposure, It will still allow you to protect yourself from cavities. So go out and enjoy the sun,Or take supplements. Or a little of both :)

Move to another country.

This isn't reasonable for everyone, But if you were thinking about doing it anyways, Try to move somewhere without the Fluoride.

It's unfair that governments do this.

We have a right to decide what should go into our bodies, If you want to give your children fluoride, That is your choice. But having it be forcefully put in our water is unfair.

They can't even control how much we are getting, Someone who drinks more water may be consuming a lot more. It could cause them to get sick, And for those of us who can't avoid a filter or move out of country, are kind of stuck. We HAVE to drink water.
If it's "So good for our teeth." Why the hell ARE WE SWALLOWING IT!
I'm a little more understanding towards mouth washes and such. But having it in water? Imagine the damage that is happening on the inside.
