Fluoride in drinking water has some very dangerous potential health problems for people. Not only is it a concern because the type of fluoride of that is used is a waste by-product, but fluoride can also latch onto other atoms, such as lead, and drop them around the body when the bonds break apart. Fluoride is actually a neurotoxin aswell and can cause a gland in the brain to calcify if exposed to it over long periods of time. Calcification of this gland could lead to poor sleep and increased weight gain. Fluoride can also cause an aray of other health problems all for the hopes of having a moderately better smile.
The use of fluoride in drinking water is used almost everywhere in the United States. We are told that fluoride can help to strengthen our teeth and keep them healthy, and while in some cases it may be half true, the truth is that fluoride is actually bad for us. Companies sell the waste by-product to whoever can use it. It is then used in toothcare products and drinking water. On an atomic level, fluoride will bond with anything, such as lead, and will carry it around the body until the water in your body breaks the bond, then these atoms are floating around in the body. Fluoride is also a neurotoxin, and it can cause a gland in the brain responsible for ''synthesizing melatonin" to calcify (Edward).This can lead to an irregular "sleep cycle" and "weight gain" (Edward). Because of these health concerns, I call for the removal of fluoride from drinking water in the U.S.
