Is Flouride in the Water Good Or Bad?

Obviously, dental hygiene is a priority to conscientious parents. Yet, in spite of the improved toothpastes and professional dental techniques and equipment, more than one quarter of 2- to 5-year-olds and half of kids 12 to 15 years old have one or more cavities, and tooth decay has affected two thirds of 16- to 19-year-olds. Many feel that adding fluoride to collective water is one way to curb the problem of tooth decay. But this thought is in no way unanimous.

Fluoride exists naturally in water and is the 13th most coarse element in the Earth's crust. Some water has sufficient natural quantities. What should be done when it is not naturally present? Should water systems add fluoride to the supply? The deliberate upon has been going on for decades and won't end here. Many factors are complicated in this discussion. The purpose here is to think a few of these, and to give you some options.

Berkey Water Filter

Consider these quotes: "It is well known that fluoride helps prevent and even reverse the early stages of tooth decay." "Today, water fluoridation is estimated to sacrifice tooth decay by 20-40%." These statements were made by a healing doctor. Here's another: "For over 60 years, water fluoridation has proved to be a safe and cost-effective way to sacrifice dental caries."

The pro side claims that fluoride combats tooth decay in two ways. First, it becomes part of the structure of developing teeth. Second, it also works when it comes in touch with the outside of the teeth. Fluoride prevents the acid produced by the bacteria in plaque from dissolving, or demineralizing, tooth enamel, the hard and shiny substance that protects the teeth. Fluoride also allows teeth damaged by acid to repair, or remineralize, themselves. Fluoride cannot fix cavities, but it can reverse low levels of tooth decay and thus prevent new cavities from forming.

On the other hand we have quotes like this: ". . . There is no dissimilarity in the tooth decay rates of the fluoridated and nonfluoridated areas surveyed." Indeed, some studies, they say, show that the more fluoride children ingest, the higher their risk of dental decay.

Too much fluoride before 8 years of age, a time when teeth are developing, can cause enamel fluorosis, a discoloration or mottling of the permanent teeth. Sometimes the amount of fluoride ingested from the water and then straight through toothpaste and dental treatments can be too much.

At times the studies have not considered the long range effects of fluoride. The con side says it has been directly connected to cancer, changes in bone structure and strength, has caused birth defects and perinatal deaths, has impaired the immune system, caused initial stages of skeletal fluorosis, caused osteoarthritis, inhibits key enzymes, suppresses thyroid function and several other adverse problems.

What about the studies mentioned above proving that fluoride is good for dental hygiene? Opponents point out the studies had several flaws. First, they did not think other minerals in the water that could have been the cause of decreased instances of tooth decay. Second, they did not think the differences in the middle of "natural fluoride" (like CaF) and added fluoride (like NaF). Third, the conclusion had diminutive or no statistical analysis. Fourth, it included no safety experiments except for dental fluorosis.

If you halt that fluoride should not be in your drinking water, what can you do about it? You could buy bottled water but this is expensive. A best selection is to buy a water filter that removes fluoride. Berkey, for example, has available an further filter that can be attached to the regular charcoal filters and will take off fluoride from the water. You don't have to ingest it if you don't want to.

Symptoms of fluoride toxicity may include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, increased salivation, or increased thirst. Symptoms begin 30 minutes after ingestion and can last up to 24 hours.

(2) British Berkefeld 9" Replacement Ceramic Water Filters for Big Berkey Overview

The Sterasyl grade ceramic is designed to remove suspended solids and pathogenic bacteria (>99.99%). The filter elements are produced using the latest ceramic techniques to provide a hollow porous ceramic, which is fired at a temperature in excess of 1,000º C. They are designed to operate with water flow going from the outside to the inside of the element. The ceramic shell exhibits a strictly controlled pore structure, so as to provide efficient sub-micron filtration, a proven defense against hard-shelled parasites such as Cryptosporidium as well as pathogenic bacteria. The ceramic also removes other less harmful, but equally unpleasant particulate debris such as rust and dirt.Composition of the SterasylTM ceramic contains pure silver. This silver is a material designed to significantly inhibit bacteriological mitosis or grow through. The result is that bacterial growth is inhibited from occurring within the SterasylTM ceramic element (which is possible with the other ceramic filter elements). This silver content insures that filtered water contains levels well below those required by international standards. Because of the silver, SterasylTM filter elements do not require sterilization after cleaning. Additionally, the bore of the ceramic shell is filled with granular activated carbon, which enables the filter to reduce chlorine and organic chemicals while improving the color, taste, and odor of the source water. The re-cleanable Super SterasylTM filter elements remove suspended solids, parasites, cysts and pathogenic bacteria (>99.99%) and reduce organic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents, trihalomethanes, SOCs, VOCs and foul tastes and odors. The top of the Super SterasylTM element is closed with a unique ceramic dome. This prevents the possibility of breeching (leakage), which can occur with filtration elements that are closed with a plastic cap.
