Kidney & Liver Damage found in Fluoride-Exposed Children

June 20, 2012

A new study, to be published in the journal Environmental Research, adds further support to recent conclusions on fluoride toxicity by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The study, conducted by a team of researchers at Tongji Medical College in China, suggests that fluoride exposure – at levels currently deemed safe by the US Environmental Protection […]

Fluoridation of drinking water and chronic kidney disease: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

May 31, 2012

A fairly substantial body of research indicates that patients with chronic renal insufficiency are at an increased risk of chronic fluoride toxicity. Patients with reduced glomerular filtration rates have a decreased ability to excrete fluoride in the urine. These patients may develop skeletal fluorosis even at 1 ppm fluoride in the drinking water.

Fluoride Gels & Kidney Function

May 1, 2012

Scientists have found that the application of “Fluoride Gels” at the dental office causes very high spikes in the blood fluoride level. The high spikes in blood fluoride levels are a result of three factors: the high concentration of fluoride in the gel (= 12.3 mg of fluoride in each milliliter of gel), the gel’s […]

Fluoride & Kidney Stones

March 29, 2012

It has long been suspected that fluoride may contribute to the formation of kidney stones. This suspicion has recently gained support from a study of an American man with skeletal fluorosis. According to the authors: “A new, important, medical problem (that seemed temporally related to cessation of fluoride exposure and subsequent negative calcium balance) was renal calculus […]

Fluoride as a Cause of Kidney Disease in Animals

March 27, 2012

Because the kidney is exposed to higher concentrations of fluoride than all other soft tissues (with the exception of the pineal gland), there is concern that excess fluoride exposure may contribute to kidney disease – thus initiating a “vicious cycle” where the damaged kidneys increase the accumulation of fluoride, causing in turn further damage to the […]

Fluoride as a Cause of Kidney Disease in Humans

March 27, 2012

Because the kidney is exposed to higher concentrations of fluoride than all other soft tissues (with the exception of the pineal gland), there is concern that excess fluoride exposure may contribute to kidney disease – thus initiating a “vicious cycle” where the damaged kidneys increase the accumulation of fluoride, causing in turn further damage to […]

Kidney: A potential target for fluoride toxicity

March 27, 2012

The kidneys are the organ responsible for clearing fluoride from the body. In the process of doing so, the kidneys are exposed to concentrations of fluoride that exceed, by a factor of 50, the concentration of fluoride in human blood. As such, the kidney have long been considered a potential target organ for fluoride toxicity. […]
