There’s no way to measure your total daily fluoride intake. If, for example, you cook a meal of pasta with meatballs, include a fresh salad with a glass of juice, wine or soda and then have a piece of fruit afterwards, how much fluoride did you take in exactly? Then add the fluoride you consume brushing your teeth twice a day—and fluoride is far more dangerous to the developing brains of small children as you’ll soon see—and you have no way of knowing how much fluoride you’ve consumed. Fluoride is bio-accumulative. If we could simply urinate or defecate consumed fluoride out of our bodies every day we could all be eating fluoride candy bars without ill effects. That’s simply not the case. Your body collects and stores fluoride molecules in a variety of organs including the brain. Several peer reviewed reports included in this eBook indicate that children between 2 and 4 years old consume somewhere between 57% and 104% of the daily maximum allowable fluoride intake as recommended by the Institute of Medicines 1997 report titled “Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fluoride,” by simply brushing their teeth twice a day. In the meal I described above, organic or not, the vegetables and fruits we consumed all contain trace amounts of fluoride. The pasta we cooked was boiled in fluoridated water and heat concentrates the fluoride. The meatballs were made with beef that was fed fluoridated water throughout it’s lifetime and the soda, wine or juice are all created with fluoridated water. So how much fluoride did we consume? Of course we don’t know. There’s trace amounts of fluoride in the air we breathe and there are trace amounts of fluoride in almost all of the foods we eat and there are trace amounts of fluoride in our water, placed there purposely. Added together, we all consume fluoride on a daily basis and we haven’t the foggiest notion just how much we take in. A long-distance runner might drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. An
