Fluoride in toothpaste and water — tooth protection or hidden poison?

Sources: 11 · Article: 14 108 characters

Jerzy Jaśkowski warns that fluoride in toothpaste may pose a risk to children, even though society is told that it is good for their teeth.

  • Jerzy Jaśkowski says that a child may swallow up to 5 mg of fluoride while brushing, although the daily requirement is about 1 mg.
  • Jerzy Jaśkowski links excess fluoride to damage to the pancreas and bones, as well as other health problems.

A child may swallow up to 5 mg of fluoride while brushing, although the daily requirement is about 1 mg.

„It is known that during normal tooth brushing, a child may swallow as much as 5 mg of fluoride, while the daily requirement is about 1 mg. Before the age of three, organs are not fully developed, and children cannot get rid of such an amount of toxin. An excess of this element damages, among other things,”Wiadomo, że w czasie normalnego szczotkowania zębów dziecko może połknąć nawet do 5 mg fluoru, a dzienne zapotrzebowanie to ok. 1 mg. Do trzeciego roku życia narządy nie są w pełni wykształcone i dzieci nie potrafią wydalić takiej ilości toksyny. Nadmiar tego pierwiastka uszkadza m.in.

Excess fluoride is said to damage the pancreas and bones, among other things.

„An excess of this element damages, among other things, the pancreas, bones, and so on. This neurotoxin crosses the blood-brain barrier, making it easier for other toxic elements, such as aluminium, to enter. In their papers at the end of the 1980s, [authors] wrote about the link between environmental fluoride contamination and the occurrence of diabetes, cancer, and lower IQ.”Nadmiar tego pierwiastka uszkadza m.in. trzustkę, kości itp. Ta neurotoksyna przechodzi przez barierę krew-mózg ułatwiając tym samym drogę do wniknięcia innych toksycznych pierwiastków jak aluminium. O związku skażenia środowiska fluorem z występowaniem cukrzycy, chorób nowotworowych, obniżeniem IQ, pisało w swoich pracach w końcu lat 80.

Jerzy Jaśkowski presents fluoride as a neurotoxin and links it to diabetes.

„It has been known for years that fluoride is a well-known neurotoxin that, among other things, speeds up dementia in people, and is one of the important environmental factors that cause both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. I will not even mention that fluoride was used in both German concentration camps and Soviet labor camps to stupefy prisoners.”Wiadomo od lat, że fluor jest znaną neurotoksyną, wpływającą między innymi na przyspieszenie demencji u ludzi oraz jest jednym z istotnych czynników środowiskowych powodujących występowanie cukrzycy zarówno typu 1. jak i typu 2. Nie wspomnę, że fluor używano zarówno w niemieckich obozach koncentracyjnych, jak i sowieckich łagrach w celu otumaniania więźniów.

Jerzy Jaśkowski warns that parents are not told about the possibility that fluoride-containing toothpastes may be harmful.

„I would like to remind you that neither pediatricians nor diabetes associations warn parents about the possibility of poisoning children with, for example, fluoride-containing toothpaste or fluoride in general. Please show me a pediatric consultant—or even an ordinary pediatrician—who referred a child for a test to measure the fluoride level in their body!”Pragnę przypomnieć, że ani pediatrzy, ani Towarzystwa Diabetologiczne, nie ostrzegają rodziców o możliwości trucia dzieci np. pastami zawierającymi fluor czy w ogóle fluorem. Proszę mi pokazać, czy to konsultanta z pediatrii, czy zwykłego pediatrę, który skierował dziecko na badanie poziomu fluoru w organizmie!

Jerzy Jaśkowski says that fluoride waste from the aluminium industry and nuclear power plants is processed into raw material for toothpaste.

„Please show me a pediatric consultant—or even an ordinary pediatrician—who referred a child for a test to measure the fluoride level in their body! Fluoride waste from the aluminium industry and nuclear power plants has been turned into raw material for toothpaste.”Proszę mi pokazać, czy to konsultanta z pediatrii, czy zwykłego pediatrę, który skierował dziecko na badanie poziomu fluoru w organizmie! Usuwanie odpadów fluoru z przemysłu aluminiowego czy elektrowni atomowych, przekształcono w surowiec do past do zębów.

Jerzy Jaśkowski links inhaling fluoride to an increase in respiratory cancer.

„It spreads through the air, and the dose absorbed from the air is far more dangerous than the amount that enters the body through food. Why? Because we have bacteria in the digestive tract that capture it, but there are no such bacteria in the respiratory system. So the number of cancer cases is increasing, mainly cancers of the respiratory tract, and high fluoride concentrations play a huge role here.”Roznosi się on w powietrzu, a dawka wchłaniania z powietrza jest o wiele bardziej niebezpieczna niż ta, która trafi a do organizmu z pożywienia. Dlaczego? Bo w przewodzie pokarmowym mamy bakterie, które to wychwytują, a w układzie oddechowym tego nie ma. Więc liczba zachorowań na raka wzrasta i to jest głównie rak dróg oddechowych, a wysokie stężenie fl uoru ma tu ogromne znaczenie.

Jerzy Jaśkowski claims that fluoride damages the thyroid and links it to other health problems.

„We also know that fluoride damages the thyroid, and dentists have been poisoning people with fluoride for 30 years. This leads to an increase in diabetes among young people and causes hypothyroidism. IQ also falls, and cancer rates rise because fluoride affects the pituitary gland and hormone production.”Wiemy też, że fl uor uszkadza tarczycę, a stomatolodzy od 30 lat trują ludzi fl uorem. Powoduje to wzrost cukrzycy u młodocianych i powstaje niedoczynność tarczycy, dodatkowo obniża się iQ i wzrasta zachorowalność na nowotwory, bo wpływa on na przysadkę i produkcje hormonu.

Fluoride in pumpkin occurs in an organic form, which Michał Tombak considers important for dental health.

„The fluoride in pumpkin is in an organic form, which is very important for dental health. Pumpkin also contains folic acid—a stimulator of cell growth from conception to old age—and pectins, which are part of soluble fiber that absorbs toxins and heavy metals (cadmium, lead, and mercury) from the intestines.”Fluor w składzie dyni znajduje się w organicznej postaci, co jest bardzo ważne dla zdrowia zębów. Obecne są w niej także: kwas foliowy – stymulator wzrostu komórek od poczęcia aż do głębokiej starości – i pektyny należące do błonnika rozpuszczalnego, który wchłania z jelit toksyny i metale ciężkie (kadm, ołów, rtęć).

A meta-analysis found that caries was less common and less severe in communities with fluoridated water.

Aim of the study: Fluoridation of community water supplies is one of the most effective public health measures for preventing dental caries. In recent years, questions have been raised about its effectiveness and safety.

Results: Study design, continent, or decade of publication satisfactorily explained the differences between studies. Communities with fluoridated water had less caries, and the differences measured using SMD and prevalence (OR) were large, both in children and adults. The meta-analysis found significant differences in caries experience and prevalence in favor of community water fluoridation (CWF). This is an effective and comprehensive public health measure for preventing caries, especially in primary teeth. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Based on the published literature, this study shows that fluoridation of community water supplies remains an effective public health measure for preventing dental caries in both children and adults, despite the widespread availability of fluoride-containing dental products, especially toothpaste. This finding adds to the existing evidence supporting its inclusion in public oral health policies.

The review found that in the areas of Brazil studied, fluoridated water was associated with less caries than water without fluoride.

Aim of the study: To summarize information on how effective community water fluoridation (CWF) is at reducing dental caries in Brazil, where fluoridated toothpaste is widely used.

Results: Of the 574 studies identified, 16 were included in the qualitative analysis and 10 in the quantitative analysis. Fluoridated areas had lower average dmft/DMFT scores than non-fluoridated areas. The mean difference in dmft between non-fluoridated and fluoridated areas was -2.28 (95% CI -3.26; -1.30) for children aged 5-8 years and -1.12 (95% CI -1.93; -0.32) for those aged 3-12 years; the mean difference in DMFT was -0.61 (95% CI -0.80; -0.42) for children aged 7-12 years. Caries prevalence in fluoridated areas was 1.4 times lower in primary teeth and 57% lower in permanent teeth. Heterogeneity was observed in all age groups, ranging from 77.6% to 98.2%. Community water fluoridation remains effective in preventing dental caries in children under 13, even with widespread use of fluoridated toothpaste.

EAPD guidelines consider daily fluoride use an important part of preventing caries in children when it is used as directed.

Aim of the study: To update the existing 2009 fluoride guidelines of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD).

Results: Parents must be strongly advised to use an age-appropriate amount of toothpaste and to assist or supervise tooth brushing until at least 7 years of age. The EAPD strongly endorses daily fluoride use as a major part of any comprehensive programme to prevent and control dental caries in children. Whatever the type of programme, community-based or individual, fluoride use must be balanced against the assessed risk of caries and the possible risk of adverse effects from fluoride. Fluoride use is considered safe when the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Preventive programmes should be reviewed regularly and adapted to the needs and risks of the patient or population. For most European countries, the EAPD recommends appropriate use of fluoride toothpaste together with good oral hygiene as the basic fluoride regimen.

After water fluoridation ended, the caries index increased, and differences between groups with different socioeconomic status grew wider.

Aim of the study: Israel's community water fluoridation policy, mandatory from 2002 until it was halted in 2014, provides a natural experiment for assessing fluoridation's impact on children's oral health. This retrospective study analyzed digital dental records of 12-year-old children (2014-2022) to assess changes in caries experience after community water fluoridation ended.

Results: The MF index increased significantly after fluoridation ended, especially among populations with low socioeconomic status (SES). Twelve-year-olds in low-SES communities without fluoridated water had more than double the caries experience of those in high-SES communities (mean MF 0.82 vs. 0.40; p < 0.05). The SES gap was considerably narrower in fluoridated communities. SES had a large effect on caries outcomes (partial η²≈0.34), and the absence of fluoridation was associated with a modest but significant increase in MF (partial η²≈0.01). Females had higher MF rates than males, with larger gender differences in non-fluoridated groups. The end of CWF was associated with increased caries and wider SES and gender disparities, highlighting the value of fluoridation in promoting oral health equity. CWF remains a fundamental public health measure, unmatched in its ability to provide effective, safe, fair, and cost-saving caries prevention to entire populations.

The review indicates that fluoridated water and fluoride toothpaste help prevent caries, and their effects may complement each other.

Aim of the study: The aim of this review is to describe the role of water fluoridation in preventing dental caries worldwide. Community water fluoridation began in 1945 and over the past 20 years has reached over 400 million people.

Results: In this regard, advice should focus on the early use of fluoride-containing toothpaste to reduce fluoride ingestion during infancy and early childhood. The cost of water fluoridation is low. With increasing global urbanisation and improved equipment, the future of water fluoridation is promising. The WHO urges member states to consider implementing community water fluoridation.

„A child-sized toothbrush covered with a full strip of toothpaste holds approximately 0.75-1.0 g of toothpaste, and each gram of fluoride toothpaste, as formulated in the United States, contains approximately 1.0 mg of fluoride. Children aged less than 6 years swallow a mean of 0.3 g of toothpaste per brushing and can inadvertently swallow as much as 0.8 g." [1, emphasis added] For children aged 6 and under, that is an average of one-third of the toothpaste they use, with the possibility of accidentally swallowing 80% or more. A single “serving” of toothpaste contains about one milligram of fluoride.”A child-sized toothbrush covered with a full strip of toothpaste holds approximately 0.75-1.0 g of toothpaste, and each gram of fluoride toothpaste, as formulated in the United States, contains approximately 1.0 mg of fluoride.

„Exposure from other sources has also increased, such as infant formula, processed foods, soups, and beer made with fluoridated water; food grown with fluoride-containing pesticides and fumigants [1] (buy organic!); bottled teas, raisins, fruit juices, wine, mechanically deboned chicken, and medicines that leave a fluoride metabolite, to name a few. Taken together, the glut of fluoride sources in the modern diet has created a toxic cocktail, one that has caused a dramatic increase in dental fluorosis [2] (a tooth defect caused by excessive fluoride intake) over the past 60 years.”Exposure from other sources has increased as well, such as infant formula, processed foods, soups, and beer made with fluoridated water, food grown with fluoride-containing pesticides and fumigants [1] (buy organic!), bottled teas, raisins, fruit juices, wine, mechanically deboned chicken, and pharmaceuticals that leave a fluoride metabolite, to name a few.
