The devastating, toxic effects of fluoride are well documented by mainstream organizations. Fluoride IS a poison! Fluoride has been listed as more poisonous than lead and just slightly less poisonous than arsenic.
Fluoride damages enzymes which results in a wide range of chronic diseases. Fluoride as low as 1 ppm can cause breakdown of collagen, the most abundant of the body’s protein at 30%. It also leads to irregular formation of collagen which serves as a major structural component of skin, ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage, bones and teeth.
Fluoride interacts with the bonds which maintain the normal shape of proteins.
With distorted protein, the immune system attacks it’s own protein, the body’s own tissue. Fluoride (at 1 ppm) in drinking water:
- damages the immune system by inhibiting the migration rate of white blood cells to infected areas;
- interferes with phagocytosis (the destruction of bacteria and other foreign agents by white blood cells); and
- induces the release of superoxide free radicals in resting white blood cells.
Many studies make it clear that fluoride causes genetic damage. The mechanism cannot be exactly pinpointed because fluoride interferes with a number of physiological processes. Most evidence indicates that it acts on the DNA Repair Enzyme System. It may also interfere with DNA synthesis or act directly on the DNA. In any case, damaged DNA and a slowed down DNA Repair Enzyme System lead to a snowballing cycle of aging > damage > aging > damage, etc. If the unrepaired DNA damage occurs in a cell which gives rise to a sperm or egg cell, the damage will be replicated in every cell of the offspring’s body and will lead to a birth defect. Unrepaired damage of a segment of DNA responsible for control of cell growth can lead to tumors and/or cancer.
