You cannot control impact of fluoride

As documented in a scientific peer reviewed journal Nuclear Medicine Communication in Jan 2012, researchers found that fluoride consumption directly stimulates the hardening of your arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis that is highly correlated with the cardiovascular disease, the world number one cause of death globally.

The scientists found a significant correlation between fluoride consumption and the calcification of arteries.

They also found that coronary fluoride uptake value in patients with cardiovascular events was significantly higher than in patients without cardiovascular events.

Substitute “heart failure” or “heart attack” for “cardiovascular events” and the meaning becomes clearer. What the research highlights is the fact that mass fluoride exposure may be to blame for the cardiovascular disease epidemic that takes more lives each year than cancer. In 2008, cardiovascular killed 17m people.

Coincidentally, the countries with the highest risk of cardiovascular disease are also those that fluoridate their water supplies.

There are many facets to heart disease: overweight, sedentary habits, high stress and poor nutrition all play significant roles.

You can control most of those factors. You cannot control the impact of fluoride on the individual when you mass medicate a population by systemically fluoridating their water supplies with silicofluoride chemicals.
