As some of you may already know our perception on water fluoridation has been changing lately. Many adverse effects have been found to be caused by this chemical.
Researchers from the University of Kent, United Kingdom were able to conduct a groundbreaking study on the health effects potentially caused by adding fluoride to the public’s water. After intensely studying data they obtained from just about every single medical practice in England these scientists were able to find that fluoride might be increasing the risk of hypothyroidism. A condition in which a persons thyroid gland is not producing enough hormones resulting in fatigue, obesity, and even depression.
This study has included the largest population ever studied in regards to these adverse effects of elevated fluoride exposure. They collected data from ninety-nine percent of England’s over eight thousand medical practices. This concludes that there could be up to 15,000 people out there suffering from depression, weight gain, and aching muscles all because their is fluoride in the water.
Women are literally, 15 times more likely to develop under active thyroid. Something that can lead to long term health issues. Something really needs to be done about the fluoride they are adding into our drinking water. Hypothyroidism is something that women are particularly concerned with and fluoride inhibits the thyroid’s ability to use iodine which is essential for a healthy thyroid.
