A highly thought provoking new fluoride alert video.

As previously stated fluoride is a naturally occurring substance which likely has roles in the body even if we are as yet unclear exactly what they are, (and the same goes for rare elements such as arsenic, which is commonly known to be highly toxic, but none the less in the tiny amounts to which we are usually exposed may have roles in cellular function). Fluoride clearly causes medical problems in inappropriate quantities, and but in appropriate amounts when applied direct to teeth has been shown to increase enamel hardness.

The problem is in the modern world we are at risk of having too much fluoride in our dietary / water/ tooth product / medical / airborne sources, and as a population are largely unaware of the dangers it poses in excess.

The situation is further complicated by the fact we are often deficient in other minerals, the level of ingestion of fluoride depends on the food source it is found in and the other minerals therein, and we are putting large amounts of fluoride into the environment which we ingest through air water and the food chain, all of which begs the question is the fluoridation of water still appropriate.
