Does fluoridated water really contribute to Alzheimer's?

No. Back in the 1940's and fifty's, opponents of fluoridated water claimed it was a communist plot to decrease mental capacity. In the 1960's, fluoridated water was blamed on numerous birth defects. In the 1970' and 80's, fluoridated water was said to be the cause of AIDS, in the 90's it was blamed for osteoporosis, and today, it is blamed for Alzheimer's. Tomorrow it will probably be something else. In all those decades, millions of dollars were spent and hundreds of studies were conducted to determine if fluoride in drinking water caused any of these conditions. All these claims have been found false. What is known is that when water contains approximately 1 part per million fluoride ions, the incidence of tooth decay is reduced by an average of 40-60% in children who drink this water daily. That result has been consistent over all since the 1940's. Nevertheless, opponents of fluoridation continually come up with a new link between fluoride and whatever disease happens to be in the news at the time.

Can you fluoridate your water?

Yes, water can be fluoridated, and sometimes the tap water you drink is already fluoridated. Nevertheless, it can cause adverse health effects. Indeed, children who drink fluoridated water are at increased risk of developing fluorosis, a defect of the permanent teeth resulting in staining and, in severe cases, substantial corrosion of the enamel. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 30 percent of children who drink fluoridated water have some degree of fluorosis. The National Academy of Sciences has also raised concerns about fluoride exposure and bone fractures in the elderly, skeletal fluorosis, thyroid hormone disruption, and neurotoxicity (including effects on IQ). In addition, there is evidence that fluoridated water is linked to osteosarcoma, an often fatal form of bone cancer, in boys. Furthermore, it is dangerous to give your infant formula made with fluoridated water. Both the Centers for Disease control and the American Dental Association now recommend that children under 6 months not consume fluoridated water. This is because infants are at increased risk for tooth damage (dental fluorosis) when they consume fluoridated water (especially when formula made with such water is their only source of nutrition), and because there is little evidence that ingesting fluoride before teeth erupt provides any benefit. So fluoride exposure should be limited to toothpaste, where it provides the greatest dental benefit and presents the lowest overall health risk.
