- Fluoride exposure disrupts the production of collagen and leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle, skin, cartilage, lungs, kidney and trachea.
- Fluoride stimulates granule formation and oxygen consumption in white blood cells, but inhibits these processes when the white blood cell is challenged by a foreign agent in the blood.
- Fluoride depletes the energy reserves and the ability of white blood cells to properly destroy foreign agents by the process of phagocytosis. As little as 0.2 parts-per-million (ppm) fluoride stimulates superoxide production in resting white blood cells, virtually abolishing phagocytosis. Even micro-molar amounts of fluoride, below 1 ppm, may seriously depress the ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents.
- Fluoride confuses the immune system and causes it to attack the body's own tissues, and increases the tumor growth rate in cancer prone individuals.
- Fluoride inhibits antibody formation in the blood.
- Fluoride depresses thyroid activity.
- Fluoride has a disruptive effect on various tissues in the body.
- Fluoride promotes development of bone cancer.
- Fluoride causes premature aging of the human body.
- Fluoride ingestion from mouth rinses and dentifrices in children is extremely hazardous to biological development, life span and general health.
