 Generally, the younger the tea leaves, the less fluoride and the more antioxidant polyphenols it contains. [J Agriculture Food Chemistry 52: 4472-76, 2004]
There are false claims that green tea, by virtue of its vitamin K content (vitamin K is a blood clotting vitamin), may interfere with blood thinners. But the amount of vitamin K in green tea is negligible.
Studies show that green tea inhibits the utilization of vitamin Bl (thiamin). [Plant Foods Human Nutrition 41: 337-53, 1991] Most cancer patients using green tea may need to take supplements. |

 When this aluminum - a known neurotoxin - is combined with aspartame, the results are multiplied:
In the case of diet drinks in aluminum cans, the very brain-toxic aluminum fluoride compound co-exists with multiple toxins found in aspartame, thus creating the most powerful government-approved toxic soup imaginable. With the strong association between aluminum, excitotoxins, aluminum fluoride complexes and Alzheimer's disease, it would be completely irresponsible to encourage people to consume this toxic mixture. Yet, this is done literally billions of times every year in advertising. |

 Seaweeds are also a great source of fluorine (not fluoride), a compound that boosts the body's defenses and strengthens teeth and bones. However, to get the fluorine you have to eat the seaweed raw—even minimal cooking causes the fluorine to be lost. Seaweed is also a good source of the cancer-fighting mineral selenium.
Separately, each brings its own particular nutrient composition and health benefits to the table.
ARAME

 He adds that, "We cannot prophecy what would happen to the organs of the body if it were subjected to constant doses of fluoride for a lifetime." fluoride is one of those industrial waste products that someone decided would be of benefit, without having done any long-term tests on the effects it would have on the human body. It really is about profit, not health!

 Blue-gray moons can be warning signs of silver poisoning, and finally brown or black nail crescents may be pointing to an excess intake of fluoride. healthy sign
STRANGE MARKINGS
Dark Stripes

Healthy nails are:
¦ smooth
¦ slightly curved
¦ firm
¦ unblemished
Dark streaks can be evidence that you haven't heeded the warning to steer clear of undercooked pork or wild game and have acquired the parasitic disease trichinosis. |
| However, these spots can be the earliest warning sign of fluoride poisoning, which can be life-threatening.
WARNING SIGN
Overindulging is not the only thing wine tasters have to worry about. Another common occupational hazard is the loss of the surface of their teeth. Over time, bathing the teeth in the acid-containing wine erodes tooth enamel.
BLACKISH TEETH
If you see someone with black, stained, and crumbling teeth and you're not watching Pirates of the Caribbean, it can be quite a chilling sight. And you should be alarmed. |
| While this condition often starts during childhood when developing teeth are exposed to too much fluoride, the brown stains
SIGN OF THE TIMES
4f""jfc., In the first century B.C., the vKF-H? Roman author and philosopher Pliny the Elder recommended goat feet ashes to clean teeth. If you think that was gross, here's another popular teeth-cleaning solution of the time: take feces from a sheep's tail, roll it up into a small ball, dry it, then pulverize it into a powder and rub on the teeth! and pitting are not usually spotted until much later. |

 If you have a child who has been breaking bones too easily, you might want to check out their fluoride intake. Too much fluoride will cause weakening of the bones and, of course, dental fluorosis.
Sports are worth the time, effort and cost
Getting back to physical education, I believe that involvement in sports or regular physical activities is one of the greatest gifts any parent can give their child. So parents, even if it costs you money, even if it's an inconvenience to pick up your child after school or take them to soccer practice, do it. |

 I also do not recommend using municipal tap waters that contain chlorine, fluoride, and other components that should be avoided.
Avoid making tea in cookware made from aluminum and copper, which are soft metals that tend to erode and may also have neurotoxic effects on the body. The best choices for kettles and other tea-making equipment are glass, cast iron, stainless steel, and enamel.
Simply bring a cup of cold water to a boil, and remove it from the heat. Add about one heaping teaspoon of herb tea per cup of water, cover and allow it to steep for ten to twenty minutes. |

 Scientists investigating potential causes for goiter and other thyroid disorders have established a link between hard drinking water containing fluoride and the incidence of the diseases. Where hard, fluoride-containing drinking water is present, there tends to be a higher incidence of the endemic type of goiter (this is the most common type linked to iodine deficiency) than in areas with soft water and lower fluoride levels. |

| Where hard, fluoride-containing drinking water is present, there tends to be a higher incidence of the endemic type of goiter (this is the most common type linked to iodine deficiency) than in areas with soft water and lower fluoride levels. It is not really known if the effect of hard water and high fluoride reflects a total of the combined effect of both or just an enhanced effect of one due to the presence of the other. |

| Green tea helps prevent dental decay by inhibiting the enzyme streptococcus mutans, which is responsible for plaque formation, and it also is a rich source of natural fluoride, which helps strengthen tooth enamel. A cup of green tea a day has been found to decrease cavities in children by half. It can also help inhibit the bacteria that cause halitosis.
Many other of tea's constituents compounds have been and are being studied. |

| Leo Spiro, who was awarded a degree in recognition for his research on fluoridation by London University, says that fluoride damages brain and nerve cells, is harmful to reproductive organs, affects the thyroid gland, damages the liver, and creates a high incidence of bone fracture.

| The EPA lists over eighty "regulated" contaminants found in tap water such as chlorine, fluoride, arsenic, and numerous pesticides. This figure doesn't even include unregulated toxins such as perchlorate (a chemical found in rocket fuel!).
You might be saying, "I drink bottled water, so I don't need to read this section."

 Across the country and around the world, dentists are insisting that we drip fluoride into the public water supply. For what purpose? To protect the teeth? Can you be serious? People are swallowing this liquid. They're not rinsing it in their mouth and spitting it out, they're ingesting it. Now as a result we have fluorosis, and bone disorders that are related to the over-consumption of fluoride. |

 I've been to meetings where dentists were up-in-arms insisting the entire population, no matter what level of fluoride they might be consuming elsewhere, needed to be medicated with this, and should have no choice whatsoever in the matter. That is, in fact, the current position of the American Dental Association -- once again, another "health" association that seems to have completely lost its mind.
Even if they say fluoride is good for your teeth, it’s not the same stuff dripping into the water supply. |
| This fluorosilicic acid is mislabeled "fluoride" and then dripped into the water supply based on the advice of half-crazed dentists whose mouths are apparently filled with lots of mercury, because they think they alone have the right to determine whether an entire population should be medicated with a highly toxic substance like fluorosilicic acid.

 And there are many studies showing that fluoride at the levels found in our drinking water—and in our tissues if we drink that water—interferes with both the mobility of our white blood cells and their ability to engulf and kill germs."
"So what do I substitute for water?"
"Please keep drinking lots of water—it is good for you. But make sure it's water without chlorine, fluoride, and other chemical additives. Usually that means bottled water when you're out, and distilled water (which is cheaper) or bottled water at home, too."

 Evidence suggests that fluoridation alters the basic architecture of the bones.19
¦ Teeth decay and teeth discoloration. Studies are showing that tooth decay is declining in both fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas, while dental fluorosis, a condition in children characterized by white spotted, yellow, brown-stained, or sometimes crumbly teeth, is on the rise, and more so in fluoridated areas. Intake of excess fluoride (through toothpaste, fluoridated water, and fluoride supplements) can cause dental fluorosis.20

 They raised rats on this diet and double-distilled water through four generations, comparing them to rats fed the same diet but given 2 parts per million fluoride in their drinking water. Drs. Maurer and Day pointed out: "Under the extremely rigorous conditions of this study, fluorine was not found to have any influence on the growth and well-being of rats. There were not even any grossly detectable dental defects. Thus it is justifiable to conclude that under some conditions, fluorine may not have any value in nutrition or even in the maintenance of dental health. |

 This has been known for years, but we passively accept the big, fat lie about the benefits of fluoride, pumped into our water supply and mixed into our dental hygiene products. If fluoridation is such a great idea, why have so many developed countries such as
Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Belgium, Austria and France flatly rejected the concept?15 Smile, America, we're being poisoned with toxic waste in the name of greed.

| Nursery*, for infants, actually advertises on the label that it has "added fluoride"!78 Furthermore, this company goes on to state, "If you make the choice not to breastfeed, you can still give your baby all the nutrients he/she needs with commercial formula."79
Of course, the manufacturer would stand to profit from this advice as they subtly suggest "Nursery* can be ideal for mixing with baby formulas. To support their position, the company misconstrues "recommendations" from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the FDA that chemically synthesized formula is just as good as real breastmilk. |
| Cleanse your colon regularly to prevent the build up of arsenic, fluoride, chlorine, and other water toxins. (See Chapter 5—The Oxygen Colon Cleanse).
Test your water source for arsenic. The PurTest® Arsenic Test is a simple home screening kit for checking water levels for this heavy metal.
Eat foods that naturally provide sulphur such as garlic, eggs, and onions. Sulphur helps remove arsenic from the body.

 All people older than age 7 had teeth discoloration and the adults had few teeth left. Every single member of the village had some form of bone disease. According to How to Fight Cancer & Win, scientists at the Seibersdorf Research Center in Austria have shown that even 1 ppm of sodium fluoride impairs the DNA repair system of the immune system. Other studies have shown that 1 ppm can cause significant chromosomal damage in plants, animals, and humans, and increases proportionately as the sodium fluoride amount increases. |

| The authors of this study concluded that "because humans occasionally are exposed to high amounts of fluoride and plasma levels as high as those found in this rat study, neurotoxic risks deserve further evaluation. This is the first laboratory study to demonstrate that CNS functional output is vulnerable to fluoride, that the effects of behavior depend on the age at exposure, and that fluoride accumulates in brain tissues. |
