16 Facts Most People Don’t Know About Fluoride [1]
Most people believe that fluoride [2] is beneficial and refuse to see the detriments of it. Additionally, the same people have no idea where fluoride comes from and the numerous toxic [3] applications it is used on, such as the extermination of cockroach and rats. In a recent peer review journal, fluoride has been classified as a neurotoxin, similar to lead and arsenic, yet governmental and health [4] agencies still insist that it is good for you.

1. Fluoride Is A Carcinogen
Fluoride was found to be an equivocal carcinogen by the National Cancer [6] Institute Toxicological Program.[1]
Further studies by the New Jersey Department of Health have now confirmed a 6.9 fold increase in bone cancer in young males.[2]
Earlier studies had found a 5% increase in all types of cancers in fluoridated communities.[3]
“In point of fact [7], fluoride causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster than any other chemical [8],” stated Dr. Dean Burk PhD who spent over three decades with the national cancer institute.
Researchers suspect a connection to cancer because half of ingested fluoride is deposited in bones [9], and fluoride stimulates growth in the end of bones, where osteosarcoma occurs.
2. Most Developed Countries Do Not Fluoridate Their Water [10]
Most developed nations [11] do not fluoridate their water. In western Europe, for example, only 3% [12] of the population consumes fluoridated water. Only 11 countries in the world have more than 50% of their population drinking fluoridated water: Australia (80%), Brunei (95%); Chile (70%), Guyana (62%), Hong Kong (100%), the Irish Republic (73%), Israel (70%), Malaysia (75%), New Zealand (62%), Singapore (100%), and the United States (64%). In total, 377,655,000 million people worldwide drink artificially fluoridated water. This represents 5% of the world’s population.
