Green Tea Contains Fluoride Is It Safe

Fluoride has been a well known toxin for over 65 years. It has been used in water fluoridation pesticides fertilizer, green tea, pharmaceuticals like Prozac, dental rinses and mouthwash. We even get fluoride treatments from our dentist. Over the years physicians and scientists have become increasingly concerned about the government sanction use of fluoride in tap water. Because, the level of water consumption between individuals will vary greatly; there is no way to control the dose. Furthermore, when we add to this our exposure from foods, toothpaste, medications and occupational hazards the accumulation of this substance in our bodies increases. Warning Signs Children are known to be more susceptible to its toxic effects. Once fluoridation began an increase in cases of children with dental fluorosis began to appear. This is the first sign of fluoride overdose. Fluorosis is distinguished by white spots and the pitting (staining and holes in the teeth). Initially fluoride was believed to prevent tooth decay and strengthen teeth. It can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin and is most dangerous when ingested. Today we know that it can be the culprit for a host of illnesses. *В  arthritis *В  add (attention deficit disorder) *В  osteosarcoma (bone cancer) *В  kidney disease *В  headaches *В  asthma *В  allergies *В  confusion *В  dementia To make matters worse some municipalities treat water with aluminum sulfate and fluoride. These two substances combine in the blood to form aluminum fluoride increasing suspicions about its role as a contributing factor in AlzheimerрЂ™s disease. Trouble On The Horizon In recent years green tea has become popular because of its believed health benefits against diabetes, cancer, reducing cholesterol just to name a few. Green tea is grown from the Camelia Sinensis plant. The leaves of the plant absorb fluoride from the soil. As mentioned earlier this toxin is found in fertilizer and pesticides (ex. DDT and Dursban). The probability that many green tea drinkers will be brewing the tea with fluoridated water can only increase the levels of toxicity in the body. Green tea is often imported and the levels of fluoride will vary from country to country depending on how itрЂ™s grown. How many times have you purchased a tea and recall having seen fluoride or pesticides included in the list of ingredients? How would you even know it was there unless you became aware though an independent source? Should there be a product warning like on cigarettes and pharmaceuticals that this product contains fluoride and may be harmful to your health? Finally The body is an amazing instrument of endurance. But, how much can it take? It seems ready to bounce back after vigorous and long-term abuse; and in this we are lulled in to a false sense of security our AchillesрЂ™ heel.
