      Let's say you take in 2 liters of water a day with 1 mg of fluoride per liter. If you drank 5x that amount, then you would would be taking in 10 liters of water a day to suffer the same effects. You probably weigh at least 150 times as much as a lab rat. This means you would need to drink 1,500 liters of water per day to put your body at risk of suffering minor side effects. Also consider the fact that your teeth have a much larger surface area and decay significantly faster, therefore absorbing more fluoride. Taking this into consideration, you may actually need closer to 1,600 liters per water to pose a risk to yourself.

      Toothpaste literally has a thousand times more fluoride in it than drinking water. And even if you swallow the entire amount you put on your toothbrush, it’s still not considered dangerous. It’s only recommended to seek medical attention if you ingest more than the normal amount used for brushing. Even then, resulting problems tend to be minor. The thing is, everything is poison in a high enough dose; it’s the dose that makes the poison.

    I might have missed this but it is also a misconception that fluoride is always added to the water.
    The levels in most of those countries are *adjusted* to be within certain safe limits. This of course means in some places the natural amount of fluoride is so high that some of the fluoride is removed from the water before it goes to the homes.

    Fluoride itself is not the cause of lower IQ rather the deficiencies it causes when taken. Fluoride antagonizes both iodine and magnesium which both are very essential in mental health. When you take fluoride everyday which is the case in many people. People take it in water and toothpastes not mentioning the dental fillings used in dentistry that releases more fluoride. Iodine deficiency which fluoride consumption promotes causes symptoms like weight gain, hair loss, fatigue and memory loss. Magnesium deficiency causes sleepiness, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. These deficiencies setup an individual to a poor state of mental health. It's advisable to increase your iodine and magnesium intake if you're going to take fluoride.

    Hey love your video! I undertook this research during a university project of mine, a small note to add: Most of the countries shown in 9:50 that does not have water fluorination have naturally high levels of fluoride. I used Denmark as an example in my project, where the concentration of fluoride in drinking water is similar to US, therefore contributing to the similar tooth decay rate.
    P.S. I used the average values in my studies, I know the concentration profile of fluoride exposed to the enamel have spikes and dips through out the day, depending on various factors like eating and other activities, that would have made a difference on whether spikes of fluoride intake is enough so long as the total amount is taken in, or having constant small exposure through out the day is more effective. Either way, it's a 30 mark project, so if I could get away with less effort I'm taking that option.

    As you mention fluoreide makes tooth stronger, but only on surface. It is important to note that you must take fluoride while tooth is in development to affect the inner parts of enamel and dentin structure. So use it when you need it (mineralization proces) and don't overuse it and get stuck with fluoride stainings (which makes enamel structure more prone to abrasion (weird to take right?)).

    Well.. to me the study of children being affected by fluoride exposition does have sort of a significance: even though the diluted fluoride did not present a correlation, the free fluoride amount did. When we study chemistry in school, we learn that fluorine is the most electromagnetic non-metal. Which means, if by any chance it gets free electrons while inside our organs or circular system, it may destabilize many proteins or cell structures, affecting its function. The animal body has a very complex built-in biochemistry that is all the time taking electrons without necessary providing one back in the same form : in general organic elements and some minerals have that (like calcium, which is very much needed). Another big problem of fluoride is that it is a combination with CALCIUM and fluorine. When this over exposition to calcium reaches specific organs, it may even be detrimental, such as leading to a calcification where it shouldn't. Be aware of what you consume.

  • @emmanuellacoste629
    @emmanuellacoste629 Год назад +13

    Yes, fluoride is probably safe in a concentration of 1ppm, which IS the usual concentration of fluoride in drinking water. The rats were exposed to 5 times that, but we can also end up actually consuming as much. Fluoride is in everything, and just because we put 1ppm in our water, doesn't mean that is our total fluoride intake. A wide variety of foods and beverages as well as toothpaste also contain fluoride, which goes over the 1ppm limit in total. If you look into the history of fluoride, you will see that it is a toxic byproduct of aluminium production, and it literally melts concrete.
    The idea that fluoride is completely harmless is one if not the greatest propaganda campaigns of history. Fluoride is a byproduct of aluminium production. It was considered completely useless before we found it's effect on teeth. Before this newfound use, ALCOA, an aluminium company in the US, tried it's best to avoid getting sued for unsafe practices linked to fluoride (hundreds of sick/dead workers due to fluoride and fluoride fumes every year). During WW2, the government needed fluoride and ALCOA obliged. This need for fluoride created a huge mess for both ALCOA and the government, but they were on the same side now because if fluoride was unsafe, the government would be to blame too. It is during this time that Frederick McKay (funded by ALCOA after they found out what he was doing) discovered fluoride's dental properties. ALCOA and the US govt jumped on this opportunity to make fluoride completely safe in the eyes of the public. It isn't a toxic substance that melts concrete and is used in nuclear bombs, it's a harmless chemical that makes your teeth white!
    Frederick McKay ended up going against fluorisation at the end of his life.
    TLDR: fluoride prevents caries and is safe at 1ppm in the drinking water. You are not consuming 1ppm of fluoride, probably much more. It was accepted in the public eye after a massive propaganda campaign by ALCOA and the government.
    I don't think the government wants to dumb us all down, but I do think we are still living with the consequences of a scummy company not wanting to do the right thing and dispose correctly of it's waste. I do not see the problem with fluoride in toothpaste, but I think it is pretty dangerous in water because it spreads everywhere and you end up with unwanted concentrations of fluoride no matter what you do.

    This is the worst type of propaganda. You gloss over things so quickly and make it seem like your point is accepted, but you completely failed to examine the ‘meta analysis’. The meta analysis ruled out many of the studies that showed a causal link between fluoride and impaired cognition without just cause. For example, the China study was discounted because ‘China has different values for fluoride’ and they live near mines? The people who live near mines were adjusted for because, hey, guess what? People in the western world also live and work in mines. They chose those areas to match western areas and then adjusted for different rates of fluoride in the water to do a comparative analysis.
    Further the study in Scotland was discounted because it didn’t rule out other things in the water “like lead and arsenic”. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. I live in Scotland, and we have some of the cleanest drinking water in western society, commonly known for its low contaminants. They didn’t test for arsenic and lead, because it hasn’t been allowed in the water supply for over a hundred years..We aren’t living in the dark ages. They also didn’t test for plutonium and mercury. That is the most ridiculous reason to just casually write off almost every causal study.
    Scottish water is often touted as some of the best drinking tap water in the world. UK. As a whole has fairly great tap water, but Scotland in particular is singled out in the uk as having the best by far, taken from mountain reservoirs and is at a much higher quality than bottled water. Ruling out the UK study showing a link to dementia, because they didn’t also test for contaminants that also aren’t in the water, is just fraud.

For babies and toddlers too young to know how to brush and spit, just brush regularly using non-fluoridated toothpaste. Tooth cleanings come with fluoride paste anyway and will do more for their enamel. And they don't have adult teeth yet. By the time they do, they'll be using fluoridated toothpaste.

    "The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15.* Some studies suggested that even slightly increased fluoride exposure could be toxic to the brain. Thus, children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas. The children studied were up to 14 years of age, but the investigators speculate that any toxic effect on brain development may have happened earlier, and that the brain may not be fully capable of compensating for the toxicity."

      Well one problem with sunscreen is most people don't get enough vitamin D or realize how much you should actually get because the RDA is like 10% what you should really be getting just for maintenance, so sunscreen exacerbates vitamin D deficiency which ironically actually raises cancer risk for many types of cancer other than skin cancer which is the most common and treatable. You should get more like 10,000 IU's of vitamin D a day, and naturally you can produce up to 40,000 IU's and amounts near that are required for months just to correct a deficiency.
      It's unlikely one would get skin cancer with consistent exposure to the sun where your skin produces enough melanin to protect itself, basically you just want to avoid burning. Another role melanin plays is regulating vitamin D, if you're deficient lower melanin means you'll get more vitamin D from the sun. Most people just don't get regular enough exposure to the sun to prevent burning hence sun screen. Even getting exposure almost naked during peak UV index as long as you're consistent should be fine, living in Minnesota I'd want to start in early May if possible when peak UV index is around 5 before it gets up to 9+ in summer. First time I was out in May I was out for 2 hours and got mild burns from that but by summer I could get an hour and not burn. It's not really correct to say the sun 'causes' cancer but it can act more like a catalyst, usually more needs to be wrong than inconsistent sun exposure.
      Supplementing vitamin D just isn't the same as getting it from the sun, it just feels different, getting a vitamin D oil and rubbing it on your skin is actually more ideal than orally but it still isn't the same, I get most people don't have time between jobs during peak UV index and don't live out in the country like I do so it's not realistic. I'm lucky I can just wear shorts and go on barefoot walks in nature while I'm getting sun.
      Another thing about sun screen that gets overlooked is even if all it has to block UV is zinc oxide, if it has nano particles that can absorb in the skin it could mess with your zinc levels which isn't good, which is why there's non-nano zinc oxide powder you can use to make your own sun screen, it'd probably save money just to make your own using the powder, coconut oil, shea butter, bees wax, ect. Coconut oil is probably fine for most and even by itself can help protect some, but bees wax would be to help if sweating a lot or in water.

    • @brians1793
      @brians1793 Год назад

      I guess the way I see things like sun screen is that it's basically a way we came up with to deal with modern problems most people are dealing with that most of our ancestors didn't have, and it might work in some ways but is just introducing or exacerbating even more problems IMO than it's solving and most sun screen isn't even nearly as good as it could be from a health perspective and is mostly from companies that don't give a shit about public health to begin with.
      It's actually very similar with dental hygiene, it's not nearly as required as people think for dental health. But because people are so deficient in things like vitamin D and in this case especially vitamin K2 and there's so much refined sugar exacerbating problems, it's become more necessary to prevent tooth decay. But it's really more of a problem with modern diets and food quality. I had a loose filling for several months where because I was making sure I'm getting enough important nutrients it didn't end up getting decayed, no visible decay at all in the x-ray when I finally got it fixed when it was around lock-down. It really helps if you do mostly keto but I wasn't even being all that strict on sugar or brushing the last 2 months. I have basically no enamel either from lots of soda growing up but still don't really get new cavities where I used to every visit to the dentist, never use fluoride either(not even at the dentist and I decline the polishing) and have well water with no fluoride other than what occurs naturally.
      These are kind of like band-aid solutions that don't really fix the root of the problem and they make people a lot of money so there's incentive to deceive people.

    Fluoridated water is also used to process food. Can't that significantly increase fluoride salt contents in the food? If so, could eating fluoridated food AND drinking flouridated water approximate the high fluoride content of the rat study? Addition of food processed with fluoridated water and fluoridated water might lower cognitive functions. Fluoride from three meals plus snacks plus fluoridated water may approximate the 5 times concentrations in the rat study. Processed food uses municipal (fluoridated) water.

      @HatefulPerfection Год назад

      ​@@ThisChangeIsAwful There are animal studies which are not difficult to find indicating such. You could make the argument the animal studies are not applicable to humans, however it would be reasonable to assume fluoride does impact humans and the 'science' is corporate funded garbage much like the tobacco industry covering up the hazards of smoking.
      Just because there are studies and meta-analysis of said studies does not make anything definitively true. This is one reason why someone really interested in science is extremely hesitant to make truth statements and why you shouldn't take the opinions of a random youtuber seriously.

      It is a method of disposing of the toxic byproduct. People aren't concerned much on the natural Fluoride found in caves and such. People want to know about the byproduct fluoride, ( hexafluorosilicic acid (HFSA) that is not in nature and infact a toxic man made molicule. It is a chemical by-product of aluminum, steel, cement, phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing. Before the public was convinced that adding fluoride to their water was for their own good, the metal and chemical industries had the problem of disposing of their highly toxic fluoride waste.

      The only pseudoscience is this clown spewing lies to support the official narrative. Most likely, he is a psychopath paid to deceive people. I don't watch Alex Jones. Your statement is irrational. Perhaps, your IQ is low due to fluoride.
      It is well established that fluoride lowers IQ. And causes neurological damage, which was well known long before fluoridation. lol Fluoride was and is used to make rat poison. lol Any product containing fluoride has a poison warning. Just read your tube of toothpaste. HAHA. But this low IQ clown will tell you its magically safe. Just trust him. HAHA.
      His story of how fluoridation came to be, is laughably inaccurate. He uses the classic tell a different story, but ignore the true one completely. This lying clown down plays scientific studies and ignores others he must know exist.
      If you wish to know the history of fluoridation, here is an award winning journalist who spent years researching the subject and wrote a book about it, The Fluoride Deception. It's a very good read. ruclips.net/video/Ly_QP4rGczo/видео.htmlsi=lf_S8LZnDaVUHFTD

    Pray tell, what benefit can be gained by consuming fluoride? Especially since the evidence is clear, that fluoride can only benefit teeth via direct contact/ Thus ingestion can only help teeth as it passes by them via the mouth. Now, please explain, to what benefit does an infant receive from ingesting fluoride?, When they have no teeth to decay. Would it not make more sense to provide to the public, free of charge, fluoride mouthwash? Rather than forcing mass medication?
    One more question, can eliminating one neurotoxin from your diet be worth it, even if there are millions of studies proving that toxin to be safe to ingest?

      "can eliminating one neurotoxin from your diet be worth it, even if there are millions of studies proving that toxin to be safe to ingest?"
      They literally actively try to reduce high fluoride levels, so this is already happening. Its arguably why there's not _enough_ fluoride in drinking water to fluoridate everyone's teeth properly.
      "Rather than forcing mass medication?"
      Is iron in cereal a kind of "mass medication?" There are many ways that food and drinks are altered to prevent the widespread malnutrition that began cropping up when people began processing food.
      "Pray tell, what benefit can be gained by consuming fluoride? Especially since the evidence is clear, that fluoride can only benefit teeth via direct contact/ Thus ingestion can only help teeth as it passes by them via the mouth."
      The point of fluoride in drinking water isn't to get you to ingest it, but to get it in contact with your mouth.
      "Now, please explain, to what benefit does an infant receive from ingesting fluoride?"
      None, but _toddlers_ receive a benefit since their newly exposed teeth are early in development, so they get an outsized benefit from fluoride exposure. It just so happens that the fluoride levels in water mandated by regulations are insufficient for that, apparently.
      "Would it not make more sense to provide to the public, free of charge, fluoride mouthwash?"
      Never heard of toothpaste?
