Healthy Teeth? Try a Healthy Diet, Not Water Fluoridation!

Story at-a-glance

• Water fluoridation came about as the result of a massively successful PR campaign, and was reportedly first suggested as a way to protect aluminum and steel producers from lawsuits against the fluorine pollution coming from their plants
• Fluoride is a toxic agent that is biologically active in the human body where it accumulates in sensitive tissues over time, wreaks havoc with enzymes and produces a number of serious adverse health effects—including neurological and endocrine dysfunctions.
• In El Salvador, a former Peace Corps volunteer noted that the kids had near-perfect teeth, until decades later when junk foods and soda were introduced – then their teeth rotted
• Good oral health and strong, healthy teeth are NOT the result of drinking fluoridated water and brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste; rather it's virtually all about eating a healthy diet
