1) Contrary to early 1900’s beliefs, modern science proves fluoride is not a nutrient or required for healthy teeth.
Therefore, consuming a Fluoride-free diet won’t make teeth decay. Dentist Weston Price proved this decades ago in his ground-breaking book, “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.” Fluoride can harden tooth enamel topically as with toothpaste which has about 1,000 times more fluoride than artificially fluoridated drinking water. According to the CDC, fluoride levels emerging from saliva to bathe teeth topically are too low to be beneficial. CDC admits “The prevalence of dental caries [cavities] in a population is not inversely related to the concentration of fluoride in enamel, and a higher concentration of enamel fluoride is not necessarily more efficacious in preventing dental caries.” "FDA does not list fluorine as an essential nutrient," according to this 1990 FDA letter.
2) The FDA regulates fluoride as a drug for topical application only and labels fluoride supplements for ingestion as unapproved drugs because they were never proven safe or effective.
Like all drugs, fluoride has negative side effects. “Most of the European scientific dental associations no longer recommend the use of fluoride supplements, such as fluoride tablets or drops, as a standard procedure in caries prevention,” reports Zimmer et al. Fluoride supplements fail to reduce tooth decay in primary teeth, permanent teeth cavity-reduction is dubious and health risks are little studied, according to the Cochrane Oral Health Group.
3) Fluoridation chemicals are waste products of phosphate fertilizer manufacturing, captured in smokestacks, trucked as hazardous material then injected unpurified into your drinking water - hydrofluosilicic acid (HFS) or sodium fluoride (NaF).
NSF International, a private organization, regulates fluoridation chemicals, reports these chemicals contain traces of lead and arsenic, both having a safety level of zero. A researcher personally tested several batches to find surprising amounts of aluminum along with lead and/or arsenic. Two samples contained barium. Research shows, fluoride enhances blood lead absorption
4) Fluoridation began in the 1940’s when it was virtually the only fluoride source. But today fluoride is abundant. Now, Tooth decay and fluoridated products are multi-billion-dollar international industries.
Giant pharmaceutical corporations market fluoridated toothpaste, mouthwash, gels, supplements, foams, varnish, filling material, dental cements, floss, bonding material and in higher concentrations with advice to use it more often and at earlier ages. Fluoride is in virtually all foods and beverages either naturally, as in seafoods and tea, or from fluoride-containing pesticide residues and/or when processed with fluoridated water. So, it’s no surprise that fluoride overdose is the new national epidemic. Dental fluorosis – white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth. now afflict 65% of US teens. Yet, after 7 decades of fluoridation, Senator Bernie Sanders reports the US is facing a dental health crisis. A dental hygienist cautions her fellow RDH’s to be aware that some foods can be hiding toxic levels of fluoride.

5) Routinely, feeding babies concentrated infant formula mixed with fluoridated water increases fluorosis risk, according to the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control.
Dentists advertise their expensive, often non-insurance-covered services to hide fluoride discolored teeth which is never factored into fluoridation's cost/benefit ratio. The New York State Department of Health writes, “Parents who are concerned about the risk of enamel fluorosis, can mix liquid concentrate or powdered infant formula with water that is fluoride free or contains low levels of fluoride. Examples are water that is labeled purified, demineralized, deionized, distilled or reverse osmosis filtered water”

6) Some are allergic to or intolerant of fluoride.
Besides stomach upsets, symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing, according to WebMD.
Fluoride avoidance clears up acne in some sufferers when traditional cures fail them. The Hidden Cause of Acne, is written by Melissa Gallico, a former military intelligence officer, Fulbright scholar, and an FBI intelligence specialist. After several stints living abroad in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean, Gallico noticed the cystic acne that plagued her for two decades while living in the United States was non-existent when she resided in certain countries. This simple observation turned out to be a critical clue that would help unravel the whole case.

7) Fluoride accumulates in the body and can be harmful, especially to kidney patients who can't properly filter fluoride from their bodies.
The American Dental Association, in its Fluoridation Facts Booklet, reports that “decreased fluoride removal may occur among persons with severely impaired kidney function who may not be on kidney dialysis.” (page 27) According to Schiffi in the Journal Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation,“a fairly substantial body of research indicates that patients with chronic renal insufficiency are at an increased risk of chronic fluoride toxicity.”Ibarra-Santana, et al. report “patients with renal disease presented more severe dental fluorosis [white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth] than children without renal disease, in the Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry

8) Documented evidence shows how fluoride can be deadly or damaging to animals, e.g. horses, kangaroos, and dogs.
A unique documentary reveals horses poisoned by drinking fluoridated water in Pagosa Springs Colorado. The Environmental Working Group implicates fluoride in causing dogs’ bone cancer. An investigation of Kangaroos lameness surrounding a fluoride emitting aluminum plant found bone damage and tooth damage, consistent with a diagnosis of fluorosis.

9) Tooth decay rates declined equally in fluoridated and non-fluoridated countries.
Fluoridation neithered narrowed the gap between have's and have not's, nor correlated fluoridation to lower cavity rates, according to New York State Department of Health statistics
10) Studies implicate fluoride as a possible cause of ADHD, Diabetes, Low IQ, Thyroid Disease and more.
A 2018 scientific research review “suggests a positive correlation between excess fluoride and hypothyroidism.” Newsweek reported in 2015 "Water Fluoridation Linked to Higher ADHD Rates," In 2016 Case WesternReserve Univeresity Medical School reported a link between diabetes and fluoride consumption. CNN reported fluoride in utero linked to lower IQ. Over 400 studies link fluoride to neurological effects - 53 to children's lower IQ. Several organizations are suing the EPA to force it to recognize fluoride's brain affects when determining fluoride's contaminant levels allowed in water.
