Dangers of Fluoridated Water Increased by aluminum

In 1994, The New York Times reported that aluminum and fluoride in water could be linked to the significant increase of Alzheimer’s Disease and percentile dementia.

In some areas, aluminum sulfate is added to fluoridated drinking water as a clarifying agent. A report issued by the National Institute of Environmental Health Services (NIEHS) acknowledged that fluoride has been observed to have synergistic effects on the toxicity of aluminum.

In other words, when both substances are present at the same time, adverse health effects maybe greatly increased.

The Institute also reported that most water treatment processes result in increased levels of aluminum in the finished drinking water. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported that most drinking water contains a substantial amount of fluoro-aluminum complexes.

This finding of increased danger was supported by three studies carried out at Binghampton University. Among rats who were exposed to .5 mg of aluminum fluoride per liter of drinking water, an 80% death rate was reported. Rats in this study also suffered brain and kidney damage. Their level of fluoride in their water was less than HALF the amount of fluoride added to drinking water in many areas.

After these findings were revealed, the National Toxicology Program was asked to commission studies in order to assess the neurotoxic damage caused by aluminum in drinking water and the effect of fluoride.
