THE DEMONS OF THE ANGELS. The Hidden Stories of Pharmacists and Other Industries. First part
When we get up in the morning, one of the first things we do is brush our teeth, we take the toothbrush and the toothpaste and we only think about the benefits we get when we brush using fluoride toothpaste.
But there is an obscure story behind the beautiful, white teeth that today the smile of the inhabitants of the planet.
Henry Moissan was the first to isolate the fluorine in pure form in 1886, which earned him the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1906. This dangerous chemical element left a trail of death and injury in its passage through history, since it is the element More reactive than is known and everything corrodes, nor the glass is saved of its action.
In 1914, the use of Fluor as an element to control caries was initiated. It was an experiment carried out in third world countries such as Africa.
Several villages were chosen in order to establish the experimental groups from a high Fluor concentration within the Toothpaste, even very small concentrations of the substance.
When the experimenters arrived, they were surprised by the great dental quality of the resident population there were beautiful white teeth and totally healthy mostly, the researchers paid by these transnational companies proceeded to teach the villagers the benefits of regular use of toothpaste. Then they proceeded to give brushes and toothpaste to each of the inhabitants of the villages.
After a short time later a sad and depressing spectacle was observed; Those villagers who used toothpaste tubes with high concentrations of Fluor observed how their teeth were literally melted before their eyes leaving only the holes of their teeth, this terrible experiment in this first phase was carried out for more than a decade until That between the 50s and 60s the use of the US population is approved. Then all the negative effects were known not only for the teeth but also for general health.
This is part of the untold and hidden history of companies.
I use fluoride-free toothpaste. I grew up with terrible baby teeth and weak enamel on my adult teeth, so was always getting cavities, despite taking excellent care of my teeth. I eventually had 2/3 of my teeth replaced by crowns, and now have nice, white, shiny teeth, and the overbite is gone. But, by the time I realized fluoride was bad for my teeth, it had already done its damage, hence the crowns. They're for cosmetic reasons only, and made such a huge difference in my confidence. I never use fluoride toothpaste now.
