Dear Reader,
You're lying in the dentist chair, with fingers in your mouth and all kinds of things sucking and drilling.
Let's face it, it's hardly a place to start up a conversation. In fact, it would be near impossible.
That's how they catch you with a sneaky technique that dentists use to beef up their cash flow these days.
Hard to say 'No'
As it stands, going to the dentist is a costly exercise, so the last thing you need is a dangerous treatment with no benefits.
I'm talking about fluoride treatment.
It's appropriate that the journal American Chemical Society published this latest fluoride study. After all, this latest fluoride treatment isn't about dental health. It's just a scam to sell tons of fluoride.
Fluoride is a natural mineral. But the fluoride they put in water is a by-product of the fertilizer industry. Decades ago, someone got the bright idea to add unusable fluoride to our water supplies. They hyped it as healthy, and a trusting public bought it.
That's why it's in our tap water. It's in our toothpaste. It's even in some bottled waters. Now, your dentist wants to pile on another pointless layer.
If you manage to decline your dentist's fluoride treatment, he might mention this study. If he does, he'll tell you that it proves that fluoride prevents bacteria from sticking to your teeth.
What he won't mention is that the study didn't even use real teeth... they used false teeth. So what the study really proves is that fluoride prevents bacteria from sticking to synthetic resin, acrylic and porcelain. Once you've highlighted this to your dentist, you can also tell him about the many other downsides of fluoride.
As I've mentioned before, excess fluoride causes dental fluorosis. That's a discolouration of teeth. But it can also cause teeth to pit and crumble. The US Centres for Disease Control (CDC) actually admits that about 40 per cent of US children have some level of dental fluorosis.
That's insanely ironic! They put stuff in your water to protect your teeth. But you can't control the dose and an overdose might ruin your teeth.
But that's not even the worst of it.
Recently, Harvard researchers examined more than two dozen trials that studied cognitive function in children and fluoride exposure. Results show that children who live in high fluoride areas have significantly lower IQ scores than children in low fluoride areas.
Nobody should be surprised. Animal studies already suggest fluoride might be neurotoxic.
It's pure junk! Any scant benefit is no more useful to you than standard dental hygiene.
If your dentist suggests fluoride treatment, take a cue from France, Italy, Israel, Japan, Holland, Sweden, China, Austria, Germany, and other countries. They all decided not to put fluoride in their water supplies.
Tell your dentist you don't need it either.
