Aluminum, Fluoride, and Hormones

August 6, 2012

These days there is a great deal of concern about industrial chemicals, such as pesticides, additives to plastics and incinerator emissions, which disrupt the activities of hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers which finely tune and regulate the body’s chemistry. They are produced in specialiazed glands (for example, adrenaline is produced in the adrenal glands) in […]

Fluoride and Biochemistry

April 15, 2012

Biochemistry is the chemistry of living things. From a biochemical point of view when we swallow fluoride we are on a potential “hiding to nothing.” On the one hand, there are no known biochemical processes that need the presence of the fluoride ion to function properly. On the other hand, there are many processes that […]

Fluoride Exposure Increases Metabolic Requirement for Magnesium

April 13, 2012

Fluoride’s toxicity is significantly enhanced in the presence of nutritional deficiencies. Similarly, fluoride exposure increases the body’s requirement for certain nutrients. An individual with a high intake of fluoride, for example, will need a proportional increase in calcium to avoid the mineralization defects (e.g., osteomalacia) that fluoride causes to bone tissue. Fluoride also appears to […]

Fluoride Exposure Increases Metabolic Requirement for Calcium & Vitamin D

April 13, 2012

It is well known that individuals with nutrient deficiencies are more susceptible to fluoride toxicity, including fluoride’s bone effects. As discussed in the following studies, fluoride increases the skeleton’s need for calcium (and vitamin D) by increasing the amount of unmineralized tissue (osteoid) in the bone. When insufficient calcium and vitamin D is available to […]
