Flouride and your brain
Fluorine and fluorides were used in many aspects of the Manhattan Project, a secret World War II research program that developed the atomic bomb.
The Manhattan Project was the highly secret American atomic research study which led to the making of the atom bomb. What is not so well known is that before the Project, fluorine was a difficult and dangerous element, while afterwards it became a key ingredient in all the new inhalational anaesthetics.
Although fluoride is used industrially in a fluorine compound, the manufacture of ceramics, pesticides, aerosol propellants, refrigerants, glassware, and Teflon cookware, it is a generally unwanted byproduct of aluminium, fertilizer, and iron ore manufacture.
Parents of very young children are often advised to use non-fluoridated toothpaste up until age 2 or when the child develops the ability to spit out the excess paste. The reason for these recommendations is because when too much fluoride is ingested, it is toxic.
