Researchers have uncovered a startling link between drinking water and endocrine (hormone) disruption with subsequent weight gain.<\/strong>\u00a0It is much worse than we ever thought. Why has this never come to light? Big greed and big liability. Read on . . . .<\/p>\n In 2006, The National Research Council published a report of the impact of Fluoride on the human body. This is what they said, \u201cIn summary, evidence of several types indicates that fluoride affects normal endocrine function or response\u2026.Fluoride is therefore an endocrine disruptor.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The research goes all the way back to 1854 when a scientist named Maumene linked goiter in dogs to exposure to fluoride<\/em><\/strong>. Subsequent studies have found goiter (normally caused by iodine deficiency resulting in a swollen thyroid gland) in areas that had sufficient iodine, but had fluoride in their water. Between the 1920s-1950s, medical doctors dosed their hyperthyroid (excess thyroid) patients with fluoride to successfully depress the thyroid. Doses corresponding to those consumed in fluoridated water areas were enough to reduce the Basal Metabolism Rate (the basic measure of the body’s utilization of energy). When this rate drops, excess calories consumed are turned right into fat.<\/p>\n If fluoride<\/strong>\u00a0calms down an overactive<\/strong>\u00a0thyroid, then what would it do to a normal<\/strong>\u00a0or underactive<\/strong>\u00a0thyroid? You guessed it. A recent study done in the Ukraine found that long-term consumption of fluoridated water (2.3 parts per million) showed a significant imbalance of the major thyroid hormones. The conclusion was that excess fluoride in the drinking water was a risk factor for rapid development of thyroid disease.<\/strong>\u00a0These conditions were found in dosages that a child would reach by drinking 1-2 glasses of 1ppm Fluoridated water per day. Depending on your city, you have between 2-4 ppm fluoride in your water).<\/p>\n \u201cThe NRC committee concluded that fluoride can subtly alter endocrine function, especially in the thyroid \u2013 the gland that produces hormones regulating growth and metabolism.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Fluoride<\/strong>\u00a0has been found to be much more toxic to the enzymes of the body that regulate life and metabolism than <\/strong>uranium!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n When you drink bottled water<\/strong>, not only are you drinking estrogen-mimicking plastic<\/strong>, but if the water is fluoridated<\/strong>, and many of them are, then you are not avoiding fluoridation\u2019s effects.<\/p>\n \u201cDasani and Aquafina, which are nothing more than purified tap water, will most likely contain fluoride. Poland Spring, Perrier, and Deer Park contain fluoride, and even boast its health benefits on their websites. Evian makes no mention of fluoride on its website either way.\u201d If you are drinking natural spring water, the bottlers do not have to put fluoride on their label, if the waters naturally contain fluoride. They only have to disclose it if it has been added to the water.<\/p>\n Many pharmaceutical drugs contain fluoride<\/em><\/strong>, because one of fluoride\u2019s properties is that it makes whatever it is added to more potent. Common antibiotics like Cipro, and drugs like Prozac contain fluoride. There are many incidents of someone going to the doctor for strep throat or some other infection, being prescribed Cipro, then having chronic fluoride poisoning thereafter.<\/p>\n In fact, fibromyalgia has been linked to prescription fluorinated drugs.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Think about this the next time your doctor wants to prescribe a fluorinated drug. Do you want to depress your thyroid? Depress your metabolism? Gain weight? Experience one of the many effects of fluoride poisoning? Ask your doctor to prescribe a non-fluorinated drug instead. You can find out which drugs contain fluoride, as many of them will contain an \u201cFL\u201d or “FLUO” in their chemical name.<\/p>\n We will talk more about fluorinated drugs, about fluoride\u2019s link to diabetes and heart disease, as well as kidney disease in upcoming newstips. Also in upcoming news tips, fluoride and your children, and fluoride\u2019s effect on the golden years.<\/p>\n Can cooking in nonstick pots\/pans make you fat?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The majority of nonstick coatings are made of Teflon, which contains fluoride. When heated, Teflon pans can gas fluoride out into your kitchen. There is a well-known warning about keeping small animals out of your kitchen area while cooking in nonstick pans, as they may die immediately from the fumes.<\/p>\n So, if you think that your weight gain, lethargy, excessive tiredness, and inability to lose weight are your fault, they may be due to your unknowing fluoride consumption\/poisoning. Your \u201claziness\u201d and depression may be due to fluoride consumption. These are all common side effects of fluoride.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Sources: The Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson; The Case Against Fluoride by Paul Connett, PhD & James Beck MD, PhD & H.S.
