Fluoride prevents the teeth from absorbing calcium that would strengthen them.

Anyone that has taken first year veterinary science already knows that fluoride is harmful to liveststock as it is not only a neurotoxin, it damages teeth. One of the first things that you are taught is that you never give livestock well water that naturally contains high levels of fluoride. Fluoride causes the teeth of livestock to crack and mottle. The tooth enamel actually over hardens until the teeth become yellow and brittle. When the enamel becomes brittle, thousands of microfractures occur in the tooth enamel which allows the softer inner layer of the dentin to be exposed to bacteria which in turn decays the teeth. As such, ruminants like cattle for example start losing their teeth and will even shatter them as they chew on hay or silage to finely grind the food before swallowing. The first sign that cattle have damaged teeth is weight loss which will lead to death due to starvation. The fact is that the livestock can no longer chew and grind lignin based food sources.

So the question is, if a Doctor of Veterinary medicine already knows this most important fact about fluoride, why are Doctors of Dentistry not taught this very basic scientific fact? The answer is that mottled cracked teeth allow for bacteria to damage the dentin under the enamel which leads to tooth decay. Che-CHING!!!

When you brush your teeth most of the time you’re not swallowing the fluoride. However, if you think it would be helpful you are free to swallow your toothpaste. You are free to do this despite the fact that when children swallow toothpaste the poison control hotline will tell the parents to take the children to the hospital.

Here’s the problem, in order to get the benefits of drinking water I have to swallow it. I didn’t ask anyone to put fluoride into my water and I don’t want it.

Do you see the difference now?
