In 1963 the FDA wrote that fluoride is not a mineral nutrient, which means it is a contaminant of the blood; and that its addition into water is an uncontrolled use of an unapproved drug.
In 1966, the FDA banned the sale of all fluoride compounds intended for ingestion in pregnant women. (Horowitz and Heifitz, Public Health Reports 82: 297-304, 1967).
In 1975, the FDA ruled that fluoride is considered unsafe to add to foods (Sutton, P., The Greatest Fraud: Fluoridation, Melbourne University Press, Australia, 1996).
In 1989 the FDA found through studies supervised by the NIH (National Institutes of Health) that fluoride in bone does not strengthen bone, which dashed the hopes of fluoridation supporters (Medical World News Nov 13, 1989: 25).
In 2001 the CDC (Center for Disease Control) reported that systemic fluoride from the bloodstream does not reduce dental decay (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, U.S. CDC, Atlanta, GA, 2001). The National Research Council (2006) reported that saliva fluoride, in those consuming 1 ppm fluoride water, is only 0.016 ppm, which is 75,000 times less concentrated than that in toothpaste. Thus, drinking fluoridated water is also unable to affect teeth topically or systemically, in spite of claims otherwise from various sources.
In 2006, the NRC reported that fluoride, at levels found in treated water, causes elevated TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), which is an attempt by the body to maintain normal thyroid function in response to systemic fluoride exposure. Fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide are halides. Iodide is required for thyroid hormone production, and chloride is required for electrolyte balance in bodily fluids. However, bromide and fluoride are poisonous halides. Both have been reported to interfere with iodide uptake and metabolism.
