Fluoride is a Bioaccumulative Poison; 1,800 Professionals Call for End of Water Fluoridation

Studies also show that only about 50% of the fluoride that is ingested (through drinking fluoridated water or swallowing toothpaste) is excreted by the body, which suggests that fluoride, like many toxic chemicals, is bioaccumulative. Scientists have found that fluoride accumulates in the brain, kidneys and bones, which can lead to lower IQ, behavioral/hormonal problems, tooth decay and bone cancer. Although much of Europe has banned the addition of fluoride to municipal water supplies, this drug is still being pumped into American tap water to about 1.5-2 ppm (ppm=one drop in a full, standard-size bathtub), while some water companies are known to bump that to about 3ppm or higher. Negative health effects are seen at rates equal or greater than .5 ppm.
