Is FLUORIDE BAD For You? (Real Doctor Reveals The TRUTH)

Fluoride toothpaste poison or nutrient? Coming right up. Hey I'm Dr. Ekberg with

so that you don't miss anything. So one of my viewers Magdalena (Koh) asked about

fluoride toothpaste, so I thought I would add a little bit information on that

subject. So once upon a time they introduced a lot of fluoride they they

added to the drinking water and they added to toothpaste believing that it

somehow helps to strengthen teeth and there was like one study early on that

said it does strengthen teeth but then there's been hundreds of studies that

try to duplicate and try to find out for sure and there's never been any

conclusive evidence on the contrary while there's very few studies that

would indicate that there's any benefit there's several that indicate there are

some side effects and detrimental effects that it can increase staining

and pitting and even cracking of teeth it can reduce the IQ and children and it

increases the risk for fractures so there's a lot of reasons to educate

yourself a little about this and the one thing that we see in our office

primarily is thyroid problems and what's going on here well fluoride is in the

family of halogens it's on the right side of the periodic table and it's in

the same family as chlorine bromine and iodine so these guys are very related

they look the same they have the same kind of molecular arrangement so they

have a tendency to displace each other in the body

so while iodine is a nutrient necessary for the thyroid to make thyroid hormone

the other three are neurotoxins they are not nutrients they have never been shown

to have any essential function in the body

no metabolic pathway ever has been found to depend on the

first three therefore they are poisons and because they look the same though

they have a tendency to displace iodine from the thyroid and make the thyroid

more toxic it also because they displace iodine we can become and we're more

likely to become iodine deficient by being exposed to these three how did

this all get started where is this controversy was the beginning well like

we said there was one study that showed some benefit and then they had an

industry of aluminum production and synthetic phosphate fertilizer

production that produced a lot of fluoride as a by-product so they wanted

a place to dump it and it is illegal to dump it into the ground and into the

water because they found the cat it poisoned the cattle and it killed off

vegetation when it's being transported its transported with skull and

crossbones because it is a poison but for some reason they figured that it's a

good idea to put it in our drinking water and to put it in toothpaste so

back when this all started they elicited the help of Edward Bernays

and he's been called the father of public relations he's been called a

father of spin as in spinning the truth and the father of propaganda he called

he wrote a book called propaganda and one of his more famous campaigns was

called torches of freedom where he convinced women in 1929 to increase

smoking because it would help them get equality with a man so he used the

emancipation struggle as a as an incentive for women to smoke more and of

course it sounds crazy but it worked and a lot more women smoked as a result so

he was very good at what he did and that's why they asked him to help

convince people that fluoride in the water was a good idea so today as a

result we have it in the drinking water we do have it in the toothpaste so in

the drinking water is sort of mandatory because wherever you live if it's there

it's there with toothpaste however you do have a choice because you can buy it

with fluoride or without fluoride and if you stick around a little bit longer I'm

gonna give you one piece of advice that's going to blow you away that is

going to make up your mind for sure in Europe they have gotten smart about this

so at one point they were fluoridating the water for most of Europe but as

people learn more and as people became more aware they gradually bandit country

by country until today there's only 3% of Western Europe that has fluoridated

water the number in the u.s. is about 70 percent at this time however even the US

have gotten a little bit smarter because in 2015 for the first time in 50 years

they lowered the level so now they said zero point 7 parts per million would be

the maximum limit that was allowed so it is making some sort of progress even

here but here's the kicker I want you all after this to go and find

a tube of toothpaste and if you use fluoridated toothpaste then you want to

get out your magnifying glass and look very carefully in the back it says the

following and I didn't believe it so you're not going to believe it unless

you go read it if an amount larger than normally used for brushing is

accidentally swallowed contact poison control center immediately does that

sound like a nutrient to you if you a tiny amount as pea an amount normally

used is accidentally swallow contact poison control center immediately ok go

check it out you won't believe me I didn't so as a result Europe has banned

it and the u.s. is a bit stubborn and in that regard so what you can do is

obviously you can get the tooth pay has no fluoride which I'm sure you'll do

after this you can also get a water filter unfortunately chlorine is very

easy to remove fluoride fluorine is very difficult to remove so while most carbon

filters will remove chlorine very few filters will remove fluoride and it's

very difficult to remove it entirely it's kind of frustrating that you have

to go to great expense just to remove something that the government put there

in the first place you do have to spend a little bit more money and I would

recommend for a lot of people it would probably be worth it to get a house

filter and some of the good ones can remove anywhere from maybe 50 to 70 to

80 percent of the fluoride in the water so here's the thing to understand about

fluoride it has never been shown to be a nutrient there's no agency in the world

today that claims that it is a nutrient or that it is part of any essential

function or any metabolic activity that's necessary in the body at all ever

so it is not a nutrient it is a poison and do what you can to reduce it so
