Fluoride is junk that shouldn’t be in our tap water — so don’t let your dentist put it in your mouth

Don’t bite

It’s hard to say, “No!” when someone has their fingers in your mouth. Still, I manage. Because there is no way I’m going to let a dental technician give me a fluoride treatment.

The LAST thing I need is a dangerous, $30 treatment with no benefits.

This is a sneaky technique that dentists use to beef up their cash flow these days. And they just got some help with a new fluoride study.

But I’ve got a response to that study. And you can use it to help you just say, “No,” when your dentist tries to bathe your teeth in flavored fluoride foam.

False teeth

It’s appropriate that a chemical journal published this fluoride study. After all, the fluoride program isn’t about dental health. It’s just a scam to sell tons of fluoride.

Fluoride is a natural mineral. But the fluoride they put in water is a by-product of the fertilizer industry. Decades ago, someone got the bright idea to foist the unusable fluoride on communities to add to their water supplies. They hyped it as healthy, and a trusting public bought it.

That’s why it’s in our tap water. It’s in our toothpaste. It’s even in some bottled waters. And now, your dentist wants to pile on another pointless layer. That’s why he might mention this study. And if he does, he’ll tell you that it proves that fluoride prevents bacteria from sticking to teeth.

What he won’t mention is that the study didn’t even use real teeth. Right. Of course not. Real teeth are SO hard to come by.

Look, even if fluoride does what it’s supposed to do, there are so many downsides, it just makes no sense at all.

As I’ve mentioned before, excess fluoride causes dental fluorosis. That’s a discoloration of teeth. But it can also cause teeth to pit and crumble. The CDC actually admits that about 40 percent of U.S. children have some level of dental fluorosis.

That’s insanely ironic! They put stuff in your water to protect your teeth. But you can’t control the dose. And an overdose might ruin your teeth.

But that’s not even the worst of it.

Recently, Harvard researchers examined more than two dozen trials that studied cognitive function in children and fluoride exposure. Results show that children who live in high fluoride areas have significantly lower IQ scores than kids in low fluoride areas.

Nobody should be surprised. Animal studies already suggest fluoride might be neurotoxic.

It’s pure junk! And any scant benefit is no more useful to you than standard dental hygiene.

If your dentist suggests fluoride treatment, take a cue from France, Italy, Israel, Japan, Holland, Sweden, China, Austria, Germany, and other countries. They all decided not to put fluoride in their water supplies.

Tell your dentist you don’t need it either.
