Green Tea Contains Fluoride Is It Safe - By: Nick Kaplan

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.

arthritis

add (attention deficit disorder)

osteosarcoma (bone cancer)

kidney disease

headaches

asthma

allergies

confusion

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 Alzheimer’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 it’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 Achilles’ heel.
