Does fluoride cause dementia?

• The damaging effects of dementia begin at a
  cellular level that researchers are still
  attempting to understand. In the search for
  causes, a greater look is being taken at human
  diet and the possible factors leading to the
  detriment of brain health. To this end, the focus
  has turned to water containing fluoride, which
  has been shown to lower childrens I.Q. scores.
  If fluoride has such an effect on the human
  brain, could it be possible that it is the
  driving force behind dementia?

Fluoride and the human body

• Fluoride is an inorganic compound, and is found
  in the environment as a naturally occurring
  mineral in rocks, soil and water. In large doses,
  and depending upon an individuals tolerance,
  fluoride may cause serious side effects. It has
  been determined through government research that
  excess fluoride remaining in the body collects in
  the tissues, and through scientific research that
  fluoride is responsible for chemical alterations
  in the brain.

Fluoride in tap water

• Observation and research over the course of more
  than forty years made the connection between
  fluoride and healthy teeth. It was initially
  introduced into a Michigan public water supply in
  1945, and then spread across the country as a
  means to prevent tooth decay. Safe levels of
  sodium fluoride for human consumption was
  established by the Environmental Protection
  Agency.

Fluorides connection to dementia

• Research continues in the determination of the
  effects that fluoride has on the bodys
  physiological processes, especially in the brain.
  Fluoride is capable of causing chemical
  alterations in the brain and disrupting cellular
  activity. The production of free radicals, which
  are behind the weakening of brains as they age,
  are stimulated by fluoride.

Fluorides connection to dementia (CONTINUE)

• Studies conducted where fluoride was
  administered to rats via their water source
  indicates that the brain increases its uptake of
  aluminum when fluoride is present. This is
  especially startling given that individuals who
  exhibited higher levels of aluminum within their
  brains were at an increased risk of Alzheimers
  disease.

Fluorides connection to dementia (CONTINUE)

• Of interest is also the evidence that
  substantial cellular damage occurred in the
  hippocampus region of the rats brains. When this
  occurs, learning and memory are affected.
  According to the Alzheimers Association, the
  hippocampus is the initial area of the brain to
  be affected by the disease, which is why dementia
  is one of the first symptoms noticed in
  individuals suffering from it.

Conclusion

• The evidence presented thus far seems to
  indicate that adding fluoride to tap water has
  serious implications on brain health. However,
  further research is needed to conclusively
  identify fluoride as the major factor in the
  prevalence of many illnesses, including dementia.
  It is best to remember that correlation does not
  always equal causation.
