Thanks very much for that clarification, Lynley! –Ina, Food Revolution Network Team

Yes, caries and cavities refer to the same condition, but they are used in slightly different contexts:

Caries is the medical term used by dentists and in scientific writing. It refers to the decay process caused by bacteria that break down tooth enamel and dentin.

Cavities is the common term used in everyday language. It describes the holes or damage that result from the caries process.

So, dental caries cause cavities — they are essentially the same thing, just different ways of referring to it.

ALL shower filters on the market are ineffective in removing the most harmful health-related contaminants – no matter what the promoters say. There are ZERO certified (NSF, IAPMO, WQA) shower filters for removing the serious tap water contaminants. It would have to be too large and expensive to to be effective.

Jane,
You don’t really need a fluoride removal shower filter…because the studies show that fluoride is poorly adsorbed through the skin. Furthermore, the amount of fluoride you might absorb through inhalation is insignificant.

Greetings Myila! Thank you for your comment to me! I was involved in getting the fluoride out of our Calgary water supply 2 decades ago. Much more information was available back then, including lots of papers and studies by natural and health conscious doctors. And studies weren’t as skewed back then to get the answer that was wanted.

Now, when you look at the internet, over the years, most of that information was quietly removed. And replaced with studies that showed favorability to corporate interests.

And quoting agencies like the WHO or government data, is like asking the fox to guard the henhouse. They are some of the very organization that require a dumbed down population.

My guess is that the only people who would still retain any of that information, are the alternative sites that set up individually to counteract the corporate and government controls…so they wouldn’t be censored.

Getting info from anything mainstream is dangerous when we look at where our world is at, and the level of corruption everywhere we look.

It’s kind of like asking the WHO or a doctor or a government what should be included in a healthy diet, when they know nothing about health. Their mandates are not for our health, it is all about corporate interests. Kind of like Healthline and WebMD. This is propaganda for alterior motives.

I would have thought since you all work for the benefit of the people and their health that you would be aware of this.

With the types of references in the article, I was wondering if someone had AI write the article?

I will look around to see what I can find. You guys need to do more in-depth research from more hidden sources. When we read something, if we still have our critical thinking without bias, we should be able to discern Truth, or at least that something is not right.

And remember…the term “conspiracy theory” was devised by agencies like the CIA, etc. to shame people into staying silent and not ask questions; and for people to not confront the “powers-that-shouldn’t-be” when thy are up to something that is just plain wrong.

We’ve got such a death culture/mindset that people choose to blind themselves to what is going on around them, and often right in front of them. It is a grave sin to contribute to that. Our younger generations seem to no-loner know (or care) about what is real and what is Truth.

Y’all need better ways to research and find archived materials.

Have a GREAT day!

I truly do appreciate all that you do at FRN. I just felt compelled to call this article out. I couldn’t stay silent to something so egregious, that could move people to make decisions that will harm them in the long haul.

I wish you the greatest Victory in all you are doing!

Hi Stella, Thanks for sharing your routine and experience. We are glad your dental check-ups are so good! We understand the extra caution when you’re managing Hashimoto’s and bone health

Hi June,
We agree the distinction between natural and added forms (and doses) matters.

Hi Jenny, collecting and filtering your own rainwater is a smart workaround.

Yorkshire Water doesn’t currently add fluoride, and any future move to do so would first go through public consultation. If that happens, a certified reverse-osmosis or activated-alumina filter will strip most added fluoride. Your fluoride-free toothpaste is fine as long as it still supports remineralisation.

Hi Elaine, Thank you for sharing your concern about fluoride sourced from abroad. No matter where additives originate, U.S. suppliers must certify they meet NSF/ANSI Standard 60 for drinking-water treatment chemicals. Local water utilities should also have certificates of analysis available to the public.

If you’ve encountered credible studies or regulatory reports showing that imported fluoride additives routinely fail these safety standards, please feel free to send information to support@foodrevolutionl.org. We’ll review them.
We appreciate your vigilance on this important quality-control issue.

Hi Judy, Thank you for raising the issue of fluoride sourcing. Most municipal systems add industrial‐grade sodium fluoride or fluorosilicic acid are by-products of phosphate fertilizer production, not nuclear waste. Nevertheless, questions about contaminants and supply-chain oversight are important.
If you have peer-reviewed research documenting safety gaps or contamination problems in current fluoride additives, please send it our way at support@foodrevolution.org. We’re committed to reviewing credible evidence.
We appreciate your vigilance and your commitment to safe public water.
