Fluoride is a trace mineral found in differing concentrations in foods and water. Foods high in fluoride include fish, tea, and many different vegetables. It is added into the municipal water supply of many cities in the United States.

Water companies have historically added fluoride to the water to help prevent tooth decay for freshness, and they try to maintain a level of 1.5 – 2.5 mg/L (or 1.0 – 2.0 ppm). Water concentrations of Fluoride above 5 mg/L (or 5ppm) is detrimental to ones tooth structure and overall health.

Healthy natural, organic fluorine is present in food items such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Unhealthy inorganic fluorine, known as Fluoride (or other chemical names such as Sodium Fluoride (i.e. NaF or Na-F), Hydroelectricity acid (HFS), or Sodium Silica Fluoride (SSF)), is a waste product of aluminum and is found in toothpaste, fertilizers and some rat poisons. The MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of Fluoride established for drinking water by the U.S. EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) is 4 mg/L (or 4ppm).

Grab your tube of toothpaste. Look at the warnings about Water Filter Dubai It reads something like this “If swallowed get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.” And that is only a pea sized amount of toothpaste, the same amount in a glass of water filter.

Why is it that we are told it is O.K. to drink fluoride in our water, yet warned to contact the Poison Center if we swallow some toothpaste?

Five Reasons Not to use Fluoride

1. Fluoridation’s role in the decline of tooth decay is in serious doubt. The biggest survey ever conducted in the america by the National Institute of Dental Research showed little difference in tooth decay among children in fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities.
2. It is not an essential nutrient. No disease has ever been linked to a deficiency. Humans can have perfectly good teeth without it.
3. Fluoridation is not necessary. The Western Europe countries are not fluoridated and have experienced the same decline in dental decay as the america.
4. The levels put into water (1 ppm) is up to 200 times higher than normally found in mothers’ milk.
5. Some people such as manual laborers, athletes, diabetics, and people with kidney disease  and different types of diseases drink hard water than others, and we receive fluoride from sources other than the water supply such as some foods and beverages.
