Medicine’s Response to the Changing Science on Fluoride Safety

Ironically, the anti-fluoridationists had historically been accused of their "anti-scientific attitudes," but now it’s many of the pro-fluoridationists. How did the medical and dental community react to U.S. regulators’ total 180 over water fluoridation, going from presumptively safe to presumptively dangerous? We can get the best of both worlds with topical application of fluoride, so I continue to advocate for the use of fluoride toothpaste, but pregnant and breastfeeding women may want to consider non-fluoridated water sources to reduce the apparent risk to the developing brain. This is the final video in my series on water fluoridation. If you missed any of the others, see: • Why Is There Fluoride in Water? Is It Effective? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-is-there-fluoride-in-water-is-it-effective) • Side Effects of Water Fluoridation: Dental Fluorosis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/side-effects-of-water-fluoridation-dental-fluorosis) • Is Water Fluoridation Safe? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-water-fluoridation-safe) • Why I Changed My Mind on Water Fluoridation (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-i-changed-my-mind-on-water-fluoridation) You can also watch the recording of the webinar that I did on this topic, which includes a Q&A at the end: https://nutritionfacts.org/webinar/why-i-changed-my-mind-on-water-fluoridation/ I mentioned the example of lead exposure. If you want to know more, I have an entire series on that topic, starting with How the Lead Paint Industry Got Away with It (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-the-lead-paint-industry-got-away-with-it/).

What to Eat - Diabetes Series

By Global Health Media Project: https://globalhealthmedia.org Over thousands of years, people have learned to combine different foods to create healthy ways of eating – with the exception of the modern western diet. The shift to highly processed foods, worldwide, underlies the rise of obesity, diabetes, and other diet-related chronic diseases. Although there is no single ideal diet, this video describes how to eat a healthy diet by eating real whole food – as our families ate before the coming of industrialized food. This video is one of over 30 videos in our series on diabetes prevention and care. The videos are targeted for three audiences: health care workers – to help guide providers in developing countries in good diabetes care; people with diabetes – to improve their knowledge and home care; and the general public – to increase their understanding of diabetes, with the aim of greater awareness of the risks and symptoms, and ways to prevent type 2 diabetes.
