>>Older children and adults risk SKELETAL fluorosis from too much fluoride. In fact, recently a 52-year-old American man’s arthritic-like joint pain and immobility went away after he stopped brushing his teeth with fluoridated toothpaste, according to a study in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research<<
That’s a straw man.
I have been on flurodated water since I was a child. My dad was a salesman and I would brush my teeth in the car, swallowing the toothpaste.
I’m 47 and have no bone problems. What was that guy doing, eating toothpaste for breakfast???
Just because you had no problems doesn’t mean someone else can’t be so harmed by fluoride. It also doesn’t mean that everyone will be harmed by fluoride.
Skeletal fluorosis symptoms mimic arthritic symptoms and irritable bowel symtoms - two very prevalent US problems. But probably no US trained doctors even think to question fluoride use as a link
About this man with the fluoride pain in his nec, he
drank no fluoridated water, tea or wine; had no occupational fluoride exposure; did not chew tobacco, inhale snuff, cook with Teflon pots, use fluoridated mouthwash or get fluoride treatments at twice-yearly dentist visits. But he brushed before and after all meals
(minimum 6 times daily) with fluoridated toothpaste.
Additionally, “The combination of gastric
problems, difficulty in swallowing, leg muscle pain, and pain in the
knee and hip joints is a key indicator of fluoride toxicity, and
patients using high-concentration home fluoride treatments should be
monitored for these symptoms,” is reported in the January 2005
Journal of the American Dental Association.
