Fluoride has been praised as the saviour of tooth decay. But in fact, this is not true at all. Fluoride (hydrofluorosilic acid, sodium fluorosilicate & sodium fluoride) is nothing more than a toxic by-product from the aluminium and phosphate fertiliser industries and is often contaminated with a variety of toxic heavy metals. In fact, the reason for the decline in tooth decay are simply better nutrition & improved dental hygiene.
97% of drinking water in western Europe is NOT fluoridated because it could not be proven to be safe and it was considered unethical to medicate and entire population. Only 4% of the worlds drinking water continues to be fluoridated including Australia, USA, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Columbia, Singapore, around 2% of European countries and regions in England.
