Iodine deficiency ! - falling intakes - goitregens - competition bromine and fluorine

. . . And this made me howl with laughter at the irony of it . . . this paper recommends that goats with chronic fluorosis should receive mineral supplementation copper iron manganese and nickel . . . they did not look at selenium.

I found it ironic that I can find a paper on mineral deficiency and fluorosis in goats but not people, and in many hours of hunting for information have not seen anybody suggest the possible need for mineral supplementation in those with fluorosis !


But tary a moment the paper above references another Turkish paper looking at mineral deficiencies in humans and this is what it said - looks like we have more in common with goats than we would care to admit

In conclusion, our findings indicate that chronic fluorosis is associated with reduced levels of serum Cu, Zn, Mn, and Mg. However, more studies are needed to verify and clarify the relationship between serum mineral status and chronic fluorosis.

(that is copper zinc manganese and magnesium)
