It is common for me to hear from clients that they are so overwhelmed by the amount contradictory information out there that they just want to give up. One topic that tops the list of contradictory information is the fluoride- is fluoride really good for your teeth? Is chronic low-grade exposure safe? What even constitutes “low-grade” exposure?
In this episode, we dig into the tip of the iceberg on the research surrounding the human health effects of fluoride. You will be shocked to learn that the research extends back forty years. We will drop in for the tiny-est bit of chemistry and look at WHY fluoride may affect the body the way it does. We discuss WHERE we get exposed to fluoride regularly- hint, it's not just in the water.
This episode pulls back the blinds about the science and the controversy surrounding fluoride and highlight the health effects from long-term exposure. In the upcoming episode (Part 2), you can expect for us to highlight practical ways to identify and reduce your exposure as well as some products that support your body in removing damaging stored fluoride, so be sure to like and follow me to be notified when that episode uploads!
Fun Fact: Did you know that fluoride is commonly used in medications?
Fun Fact 2: Dental and skeletal fluorosis (linked with too much fluoride exposure) actually leads to brittle bones, arthritis and even a higher risk of dental caries (cavities).
