Why Filter Fluoride from Your Water

Why is it important to filter your fluoridated water???

1. Half of all ingested fluoride remains in the skeletal system and accumulates with age. Several recent epidemiological studies suggest that only a few years of fluoride ingestion from fluoridated water increases the risk for bone fracture.

2. There is a dose-dependent relationship between the prevalence/severity of dental fluorosis and fluoride ingestion.

3. Hydrofluorosilicic acid is recovered from the smokestack scrubbers during the production of phosphate fertilizer and sold to most of the major cities in North America, which use this industrial grade source of fluoride to fluoridate drinking water, rather than the more expensive pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride salt.

4. Depending on the level of exposure, a number of adverse health effects may be linked to fluoride ingestion. In humans, they include bone cancer, bone fracture, skeletal fluorosis, arthritis, impaired thyroid hormone status, impaired neurodevelopment of children, and calcification of the pineal gland.

5. Recently the Queensland Government told the public that there was an overdose of fluoride put in the water as the alarm systems were shut off at the treatment plant. How many times has this happened and are you willing to take the chance with your health and the health of your family when it comes to this issue.
