For decades, dentists have insisted that one of the best ways to avoid cavities is to brush the teeth immediately after consuming anything that contains large amounts of sugar.  New evidence shows that they were wrong.  One should be mindful that modern dentistry also promotes mercury ("silver") fillings, and fluoride in drinking water.  The dentistry industry is perhaps one of the most barbaric toward health.  We should be grateful that the American Dental Association does not play a greater role in disease management.

After consuming sugary foods or drinks, the enamel of teeth becomes weaker; especially within the first hour of consumption.  Brushing the teeth during this period leads to extreme increases in abrasive damage to the weakened enamel.  The damage will become quite significant in a person's latter years.

Soft drinks are especially detrimental to tooth enamel, due to their acidity.  It is the sugars in combination with the low pH of soft drinks that is the culprit: not merely one or the other.  The average pH of soft drinks is 2.5, while the mouth should remain about neutral, or a pH of about 7.  For decades, it has been believed that merely the low pH of soft drinks was the causative factor in weakened tooth enamel, and that the teeth should be immediately scrubbed clean after consumption.  Contrary to what has become the popular belief, waiting at least an hour before brushing, and using a "soft" tooth brush leads to the best overall dental health.

Despite the influence provided by groups like the American Dental Association (A.D.A.), a stunning 59% of children aged 12 to 19 have at least one cavity in their adult teeth, according to a recent study.

The Fluoride Deception

The presence of fluoride in tap water has increased in recent years, but it has not reduced cavities.  In fact, the Fluoride Action Network issued a press release in 2001, which showed that when fluoridation stops, the rate of cavities declines, in direct opposition to the position of the A.D.A..  The U.S. Government's statistics also confirm the inverse relationship between cavities and ingested fluoride: that more ingested fluoride equals more cavities (and other diseases).  However, water fluoridation is not done in the interests of health, but for some very twisted politics.  For more on the link between fluoridation and the pacification of the public, read the article entitled, "There's Something In The Water", in issue 1 of Naturally Good Magazine.  The article shows that fluoride was first publicly used on the conquered peoples of the NAZI's, as a mind control, and population control drug.  Which reminds us, fluoride destroys fertility as well.

Fluoridation in the U.S. began life as part of a con-job for the nuclear, aluminum, and fertilizer industries to rid themselves of their toxic industrial waste product at our expense; namely sodium fluoride.  If a truckload of this stuff were spilled, it would initiate an emergency cleanup that would restrict all traffic within miles, and require an army of spacesuit-wearing emergency workers.  Even the fumes are deadly.  It is of course, coincidental that the same chemical companies who are unloading this waste into our bodies likewise benefit financially whenever we of the public purchase chemotherapy and radiation "treatments" for the cancers caused by their internally accumulated fluoride.  You did know that fluoride is one of the most potent cancer-causing agents ever discovered, right?  In fact, smoking cigarettes is probably safer than drinking or bathing in your tap water.  Seriously.

Fluoride also directly attacks the thyroid, and neutralizes precious iodine.  This is why fluoride is the main reason for the current epidemic of hypothyroidism, and for hormonal problems for women in the U.S..  Fluoride is perhaps the major factor in osteoporosis, due to the fact that is causes brittle bones; especially over extended periods.

"Hydrofluorosilicic acid is also known as fluorosilicic acid or fluosilicic acid. It comes as a liquid and so it is easier to add to water than crystalline sodium fluoride and fluorosilicate.  All of these chemicals are derived from pollution scrubbing operations.  A common source is the processing of phosphate rock to make phosphate fertilizers.  The rock also contains fluoride, silica and traces of heavy metals such as uranium, radium, radon and lead. When the phosphate rock is treated with sulfuric acid, silicon tetrafluoride and hydrogen fluoride gases are given off. These gases pass through scrubbers and react with water to form hydrofluosilicic acid."

-- Fluorine Recovery in the Fertilizer Industry: A Review

The American Dental Association continually provides inaccurate information to the public, without shame.  They are obviously envious of the policies of the A.M.A., A.P.A., and of course, the F.D.A..  Perhaps they are hoping to get their death count up, but they have some stiff competition there.  They are one of many self-licensed, self-serving, and self-regulating "health" agencies that ought to be eradicated.  Their advocation of mercury fillings for pregnant women, and fluoride for children is unforgivable, and nothing short of evil.
