Fluoride accumulates in the body. Healthy adult kidneys excrete 50 to 60% of the fluoride ingested each day. Any remaining fluoride accumulates in the body, typically in the bones and pineal gland. Babies and children excrete less fluoride from their kidneys and absorb up to 80% of ingested fluoride into their bones. The concentration of fluoride in the bones increases over a lifetime.
Key Takeaways:
- “Underactive thyroid is a particularly nasty thing to have and it can lead to other long term health problems,”
- “I do think councils need to think again about putting fluoride in the water. There are far safer ways to improve dental health.”
- Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is highly biologically active and is known to have toxic effects from both acute and chronic exposure.
“A major risk factor for underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) may be exposure to fluoride in drinking water.”
