If you drink 1 cup of green/black tea a day, with F- content of 5mg, you can expect Chronic Skeletal Fluorosis to appear as follows (135):

Person weighing 100 lbs. Time Frame Symptoms Phase 1 within 5 years sporadic pain; stiffness in joints; osteosclerosis of pelvis and vertebral column Phase 2 after 10 years chronic joint pain; arthritic symptoms; slight calcification of ligaments;increased osteoclerosis/cancellous bones; with/without osteoporosis of long bones) Phase 3 (crippling fluorosis) after 23 years limitation of joint movement; calcification of ligaments/neck, vert. Column;crippling deformities/spine major joints; muscle wasting;neurological defects/compression of spinal chord

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Comparing intake levels as high as they are (12) with statistical data, it must become clear that this is already happening to a significant portion of the population.

Dental fluorosis is the first visible indicator that severe thyroid hormone dysfunction has occurred and is occurring. It is NOT a mere cosmetic effect as the dental profession would like us to believe. The evidence is staggering.

  We must take immediate action to protect our children's mental and physical health from the ever-increasing fluoride intake. Water fluoridation must be halted, all foods must be labelled for F- content ,and emissions by industry must be strictly regulated.

   Overall fluoride intake must be radically reduced.

PLEASE advise responsibly regarding green tea.
