Recent studies suggest a strong correlation between childhood fluoride exposure and the development of osteosarcoma in young boys. The water supplement once considered beneficial now heralds evidence of bone cancer, osteosarcoma, and bone pain and swelling. The effects of fluoride have been recently highlighted through studies performed by the United States National Toxicology Program and Harvard University.
Fluoride is commonly found in, or added to, a great many consumer products, including toothpaste, tap water, infant formula, juices, sodas, teas, wines, beers, seafood, processed chicken, cereal, cigarettes, anesthetics and Teflon pans. Doctors and dentists have long recommended fluoride exposure for the prevention of tooth caries such as cavities and decay. Accordingly, many municipalities artificially fluoridate their public water supply. Fluoridated water is the greatest source of exposure to fluoride for children.
Fluoride is a known mutagen, particularly where it is found in concentrated amounts. In the body, fluoride accumulation occurs primarily in the bones, particularly during the developmental years. There, fluoride artificially stimulates bone cell growth, generally in long bones such as the legs and arms, leading to cancerous growths. Osteosarcoma in children, particularly young boys exposed during the bone growth-spurt years of five to ten, has been specifically associated with the effects of fluoride exposure.
Osteosarcoma is typically found in children and adolescents and is the result of the overactive growth of osteoblasts. The U.S. National Toxicology Program has determined the effects of fluoride are biologically related to cancer. Support for the hypothesis is derived from three biological factors:
- The bone is the primary location of fluoride build-up, particularly during growth spurts
- Fluoride can act as a mutagen when it is present in higher concentrations
- Fluoride is an artificial stimulant for the growth of bone cells
Osteosarcoma is not the only serious side effect of fluoride. Bone cancer, bone pain and swelling, and fluorosis have all been associated with excessive fluoride exposure. The effects of fluoride can cause long term and irreversible health effects . Treatment for osteosarcoma and other fluoride-induced health problems can be a long and expensive process resulting in physical, emotional and financial stress on the victim and the victim''s family.
