Hey Guys, who out there knew that there is fluoride in............??

Question

Teabags !!! Did you also know that there has been a proven link between IBS symptoms and fluoride?? Yikes !! Have a guess what the early warning signs of fluoride toxicity are ?? Yep, gut pain, bloating and cramping, nausea, flatulence, constipation and intermittent diahorrea. Here's the link:-

http://www.fluoridealert.org

Crikey !! They are saying that ingested fluoride is transformed in the stomach to form hydrofluoric acid, which has a corrosive effect on the epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Thirst, headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting and diahhorrea are usual symptoms !! Haemmorrhage in the gastric mucosa and ulceration erosions and edema are common signs of fluoride toxicity !! The source?? Environmental Protection Authority 1999 - Recognition and Management of Pesticide Poisonings ....................... Hang on, just gotta get back up off the floor here. Is this saying that they know that fluoride causes severe gastrointestinal problems???..:0)

Oops, forgot to mention, I'm talking bout the normal toothpaste type fluoride that we all ingest every day ......!!

Did any of you bother to actually read the link???

Here, this is an excerpt:

"......... Fluoride is a protoplasmic mutagenic poison and an enzyme poison in the same class as cyanide, oxalate or azide, which means that it is capable fo a very wide variety of harmful effects even at low doses. The American Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products (5th edition) rates fluoride only slightly less toxic than lead! harmfull effects have been recorded at 1ppm in water. There is little margin before serious effects occur and the human body does not require fluoride for any normal biochemical process. Adverse effects are documented on kidneys, the immune system, bone, brain, pineal gland, thyroid, reproductive system and gastro intestinal tract. Try a period of fluoride exclusion to see if fluoride is causing your IBS. Give up tea, fluoride dental products, kelp, non-stick coated cookware, use bottled water and don't soak in the bath in fluoridated areas. Consult Doctor re: fluoride contining meds such as Prozac."??
Any comments?

**** To David S - Try and stay focused on the line of thought here. The point I am making is that there are so many toxic substances, man made and naturally occurring, that are marketed to us as being good for us when in actual fact they are potentially very harmfull!! Fluoride is potentially very harmfull, just because something is naturally occurring and everywhere doesn't make it insignficant............

Answer 1

Are you the gator lady? There's a lady that lives in Florida that is nuts and says there is flouride in the water and it's going to make people sick. She thinks there is a flouride conspiracy.

Answer 2

I'm not worried. There is a proven link between flurodiation of water supplies and healthy teeth in a population.
Fluoride is good in small amounts.
Americans have much better teeth than Europeans probably because of fluoridation of water.

Answer 3

Flouride is also found in seafood and is in higher concentrations in seaweed. It occurs naturally. It's very unsurprising to find it anywhere in nature.
