In class we learned about how the physical
harms that the food we are eating has on us. However it did not mention how it
has an effect on our mental process as well. This is more than likely because
this fact is being hidden from the people and practically everyone. Our
government that is supposed to be helping the people and making our country the
safest place possible has been putting fluoride into our processed foods,
water, and much more. The reasoning for putting this secret ingredient into our
food is for reducing tooth decay; however, it does more than just this. When we
intake fluoride our IQ points are reduced, we have an increased chance of
becoming infertile, and we also become more prone to getting bone cancer. There
are more conflicts that it causes however these are 3 significant conflicts
that are rising because of the fluoride we are taking in. The problem first
came upon when it was discovered in our tap water. When it was revealed in our
processed foods, it was found that there 180 times as much as in the water. Fluoride
is put into the pesticide chemicals that are sprayed over our foods.
There has been plenty of
controversy concerning the fluoride conflict going on in our society. Why would
our government want our citizens to have lower IQs? So our people could be
blind to other things that are going on? During the Nuremberg Trials it was
found that Adolf Hitler was having fluoride added to the diets of the refugees
in the concentration camps to make them easier to control. It’s very important
that we know what we are eating because without this knowledge we could easily
be controlled and be blind to what’s actually going on.

This is a very interesting and disturbing article that you found. I remember taking fluoride tablets when I was young, prescribed by my dentist. It is scary to think that I was taking extra fluoride, plus all the fluoride I was consuming in our food and water. This only shows that when the government thinks something is beneficial for us, it can be taken to an extreme and become harmful. I was unaware that fluoride reduces IQ points, increases the chance of us becoming infertile, and increases the chance of getting bone cancer. All these factors makes me nervous for my future and wonders what harm was done to my body when I was young. Now a days, everything that we consume seems to be bad for us. I am slowly wondering what is actually beneficial for our bodies.
ReplyDeleteI also find it interesting how the government picks and chooses what they think we need in our diet rather than us choosing for ourselves. In a sense makes it feel like the government is being controlling of our diets instead of informing us. I understand that the government just wants to help, but if people aren't aware of what's going on there body because it's being added to food they normally eat they won't know what not to eat in replacement. If people are consuming too much, for example how Ashely mentioned also taking pills prescribed from her doctors without understanding the possible effects is discomforting. It's hard to understand what is good and bad for our bodie now a days. It's almost like everything is bad so how do we find the good anymore.
