Fluoride Poisoning and Fluoride Detox

What Are the Effects of Fluoride?
Fluoride occurs naturally in incredibly small amounts in fresh drinking water (0.01-0.3 parts per million, and in some places anywhere from 0.5mg/L to 50mg/L), but has been added to public water sources to help prevent tooth decay. It does not affect the appearance, taste, or smell of water. The EPA suggests a level of 0.5 to 1.0mg/L. Controversially, though fluoride prevents tooth decay at certain levels it is also toxic to the body. Fluoride toxicity is estimated to be lethal at 5 to 10g; ingestion can produce gastrointestinal discomfort at much lower levels (0.2mg/kg (body weight)).

Fluoride and teeth hold a positive relationship; however, fluoride has been linked with causing eczema, celiac disease, affecting thyroid function, causing tooth discoloration in children and adults over long-term exposure, and can build up in the body to cause rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain.
