Fluoride is found in the body: teeth, skin, thyroid, bone, plasma, lymph, and organs. Maintains bone enamel of teeth and bones and seems to speak against osteoporosis. Affects the eye shine.
Your metabolism is altered adversely by prolonged taking steroids and tranquilizers.

NEEDS
Needs daily intake has little meaning, since it depends on water content. No specific requirements.

Where you are in the drinking water found in varying amounts, usually from one part to 10 million. Water is the main source of supply.
Artificial water fluoridation should be one part per million.
Although fluoride in food represents a small part of the contribution, is found primarily in wheat, barley, rice, apricot, grape, potato, radish, tomato, asparagus, spinach, tea.

A study published in the American Journal of Diseases of Children, number 129, on the effects of fluoride on the teeth of 500 children, conducted over 10 years, contributed the following conclusions:
- The contribution of fluoride should begin in the first 10 months of life and continued until the emergence of permanent teeth.
- If the input starts at 4 years, the incidence of permanent teeth is very weak.

Systematic fluoridation of water is questionable not only because of this fact but also because there are still unclear aspects in the metabolism of fluoride.
For example: The people of Kyoto have more fluorosis that the inhabitants of northern Japan, although they consume more water rich in fluoride. In India, malnourished areas, the fluorosis cases are more frequent and more severe with lower fluoride concentrations.

These contradictions may be related to diet and other factors such as industrial pollution, but the truth is out there and that the dose of water fluoridation is only half the dose at which notice symptoms of fluorosis.

LACK
Deficiency is usually seen in places where the water contains less than one part per million, demonstrating its lack of more frequent caries.

EXCESS
* In excess is a poison that inhibits the metabolism.
* It may cause the disease known as fluorosis.
* Generally, it is a result of excess fluoride in water and industrial pollution.
* The endemic dental fluorosis occurs in areas where natural fluoride content in water is too high. It is characterized by mottling of the enamel which is also eaten. Fluorosis results in an increase in bone density with ligamentous calcification, especially in the spine (spondylitis deformans).

This situation is produced from 10 parts per million in water, or in cases of industrial pollution. But other authors (Smith and Hodge, 1959) argue that occurs from:

2 parts per million …. teeth stains
8 ppm ……………… bone sclerosis
5 ppm ……………… Thyroid disorders
100 ppm ……………… stunting
125 ppm ……………… kidney damage

It should be noted that injuries are not immediate and may take 20 years to manifest. The rate of fluorine plasma remains constant in cases of excess.
