WHY THE US GOVERNMENT REQUIRES

WARNING LABELS ON TOOTHPASTE

 

 

 

 

The above guidelines are the typical warning labels and directions for

toothpaste. But why does the FDA require warning labels on both the box

and tube of toothpaste? Answer: Fluoride. The FDA lists fluoride as an

“unapproved new drug” and the EPA lists fluoride as a “contaminant”.1

Fluoride has never received “FDA Approval” and is considered to be a

hazardous waste product from the fertilizer industry. Fluoride compounds

are so toxic; they are listed among the top 20 of 275 substances that pose the

most significant threat to human health, in the list (compiled by the US

Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry - ATSDR). 2

 

7 Reasons Why Not to Use

Toothpaste with Fluoride

 

1. FLUORIDE DOESN’T PREVENT CAVITIES

 

The world’s largest study on dental tooth decay observed 400,000 students.

It revealed that decay increased 27% with a 1 part per million fluoride

increase in the drinking water.3 (1) Also in Graz, Austria, dental tooth decay

in children increased while fluoride tablets were being dispensed. The Graz

study began in 1956, and decay of children’s teeth decreased after they

stopped the test in 1973. Austria consequently banned fluoride. In 1998, the

results of a 50-year fluoridation experiment in Kingston, New York (un-fluoridated)

and Newburgh, New York (fluoridated) were published. In

summary:

“There was no significant difference in rates of dental decay in

children in the two cities, but children in the fluoridated city showed

significantly higher rates of dental fluorosis than those in the un-fluoridated

city.”4

 

2. FLUORIDE CAN CAUSE DENTAL FLUOROSIS

 

Fluorosis is the discoloration (turning yellow) and, in advanced cases, the

pitting of your teeth. The Centers of Disease Control report that at least 22%

of all American children now have dental fluorosis as a result of ingesting

too much fluoride, and the rate may be 69% in children from high

socioeconomic-status families and those who live in fluoridated

communities.5

 

3. FLUORIDE LINKED TO CANCER

 

Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, a biochemist president of the Safe Water

Foundation (SWF), was one of two researchers who first determined the

fluoride-cancer link. In 1977, epidemiological studies by Dr. Dean Burk,

former head of the U.S. National Cancer Institute’s cell chemistry section,

and Yiamouyiannis, showed that fluoridation is linked to about 10,000

cancer deaths yearly. “Over 120 million Americans are being chronically

poisoned by fluoridation,” he told the SPOTLIGHT. “In addition,” he said

“fluoridation is responsible for 40 million cases of arthritis, dental deformity

in 8 million children, allergic reactions in 2 million people and overall

10,000 unnecessary cancer deaths every year.” “Research from St. Louis

University, the Nippon [Japan] Dental College and the University of Texas

show that fluoride has the ability to induce tumors, cancers and stimulate

tumor growth.”6

 

4. FLUORIDE LINKED TO BONE DISEASE

 

The World Health Organization warns that a chronic fluoride intake of 2.0-

8.0 mg per day can lead to skeletal fluorosis, a debilitating and sometimes

crippling bone disease.7 Studies now show that, far from clearing quickly

from the body, fluoride accumulates over time, reaching toxic levels as a

person ages. Fluoride has a particular affinity for bones and has been widely

linked to the development of osteoporosis and a high rate of hip fractures. 7

 

5. FLUORIDE LEADS TO TOOTH LOSS

 

Dr. A. K. Susheela, the Director of Fluorosis and Rural Development

Foundation, New Delhi, India states “Fluoride enters the bloodstream within

minutes after tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste”.8 “We have seen from

the research that fluoride negatively affects health. In those who use or

ingest fluoride, it has been observed that muscles and bone tissue undergo

degenerative changes. This in turn leads to tooth loss. Fluoride may well be

one of the factors responsible for us becoming endentulous (toothless). What

started off as a good idea (fluoride in toothpaste) has in all probability been a

major cause of tooth loss and degenerative disease.” 8

 

6. DANGER IN THE BATHROOM

 

According to Dr. Ted Spence, fluoride does the following:

 

• Inactivates 62 enzymes

• Increases the aging process

• Increases the incidence of cancer and tumor growth

• Disrupts the immune system

• Causes genetic damage

• Interrupts DNA repair-enzyme activity

• Increases arthritis and is a systemic poison9

 

7. DENTISTS SUE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION

 

In 1990 forty US dentists brought a case against the American Dental

Association contending that the Association purposefully shielded the public

from data that links fluoride to genetic defect, cancer and other health

problems. 10 Since 1990 over 45 US cities have rejected fluoridation.11

Ninety seven percent of Europe’s drinking water in now fluoride free. In

February 1997, The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), representing

35,000 dentists, warned parents to limit their children’s intake of juices due

to fluoride content.12

The FDA has determined toothpaste containing sodium fluoride is enough of

a risk to require warning labels. Historically, when the FDA requires

warning labels there is a good reason for it. Look at the progression of

cigarette warning labels: In 1970 cigarette warning labels said - Caution:

Smoking may be hazardous to your health; in 2002 cigarette warning labels

say – Surgeon Generals Warning: Smoking causes lung cancer, heart

disease, emphysema, and may complicate pregnancy.

Although there is a growing movement against the use of fluoride, there are

also some large corporations with deep pockets and strong lobbyists in

Washington, DC that want to continue selling fluoride.
