For years we have thought fluoride good for the teeth and it's been found in toothpaste, mouthwash and numerous other dental products.  Most cities in the US also add fluoride to the water supply.  Ireland too has added it to their water supply against the will of it's own people.  Is fluoride safe? 

There is actually no study proving that is it safe.  Why?  Drugs require testing but for years, fluoride was thought of as a cosmetic and no testing was needed.  Now the European Union (EU) has declared it a medicine.  The Court said, "Legally, any company making a consumable product using fluoridated water in its preparation or as an ingredient cannot now export to any other state in the EU, even if their  product is permitted in their home state."

Fluoride toxicity has been linked to cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, neurological problems and lower IQs in children.  The National Health Federation (NHF) believes it's time to stop this practice of adding fluoride to anything before testing its safety. 

This ruling could have far reaching effects for Ireland. Ireland will not be able to sell cheese, milk, beer soft drinks, cakes and anything that uses their water supply in the making of a consumable product to other countries in Europe. 

I believe in the US, fluoride is still considered a cosmetic and doesn't require testing for toxicity.
