Fluoride Bone Cancer

Topics of Fluoride Exposure

Biological and physical evidence have led health officials to determine a link between fluoride and bone cancer . Fluoride, once thought to have health benefits, shows evidence of severe, long-term bodily health effects. The link is most evident in cases of osteosarcoma cancer in children who have been exposed to elevated amounts of fluoride during childhood.

Fluoride and bone cancer have been inextricably linked due to biological factors regarding fluoride build-up in bones. Fluoride accumulates in the bones and can cause cancerous growths during the developmental phase. While osteosarcoma can occur in both boys and girls, osteosarcoma as a result of fluoride exposure is much more prevalent in young boys.

Though osteosarcoma is a bone cancer that can affect any bone, it typically affects large bones in children, such as the tibia, femur, and humerus. Unlike other cancers, osteosarcoma begins in the bone and risks metastasizing and spreading to other vital organs of the body. The fluoride build-up in bones typically occurs during a child''s growth spurts.

Fluoride has been associated with various bone cancers as well as bone pain and swelling. Fluoride''s effects on tooth enamel, also known as fluorosis, mirrors the harm that fluoride can do to the bone.

Fluoride can be found in items such as:

tea
soda
tap water
cereal
cigarettes
anesthetics
fluoridated water

Once thought to be an asset to your health and an excellent way to ward off tooth decay when exposed to small amounts of fluoride in water, physicians are now concerned about the detrimental health effects of the compound.

While fluoride carries many health risks, bone cancer is perhaps the most invasive. Bone cancer can be a long term and irreversible health complication that can result in death if metastasis occurs. Children suffering from osteosarcoma may have to endure lengthy and costly surgical procedures as well as chemotherapy. The effects of fluoride and bone cancer can be emotionally, physically and financially devastating on a family. If you have been affected by fluoride-induced osteosarcoma, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering .
