“Because fluoride can disproportionately harm poor citizens and black families, Atlanta civil rights leaders, former UN Ambassador Andrew Young, Reverend Gerald Durley, PhD, Martin Luther King’s daughters, Bernice and Alveda. asked Georgia legislators to repeal the state’s mandatory water fluoridation law.”
Now I’ve heard everything. What is the reasoning here?
Tooth decay is highest in the Black community and so is dental fluorosis. Low-income people are generally malnourished and suffer the worst from most diseases.
Some of fluoride’s adverse effects can be avoided by eating a diet high in nutrients especially calcium, vitamins A,D, K
Calcium is the antidote for fluoride poisoning. The scientific literature reports many foods and nutrients that can sometimes even reverse skeletal fluorosis caused by fluoride ingestion.
Low income people are very deficient in the nutrients that build healthy teeth as well as the nutrients that will ameliorate the toxic effects of fluoride.
Remember, fluoride is a drug. Like all drugs, those with compromised immune systems are the most harmed.
