Jeff Green Talks about Toxic Fluoride Sources

One of the primary sources of fluoride exposure is not fluoridated drinking water but non-organic foods, due to the high amounts of fluoride-based pesticide residues on these foods. Non-organic foods may account for as much as one-third of the average person’s fluoride exposure

Foods particularly high in fluoride include non-organic fresh produce, breakfast cereals, juices (particularly grape juice), deboned meats such as lunch meats, and black- or green tea (even if organic)

Fluoride has the ability to affect other chemicals and heavy metals; in some cases making them even more harmful than they would be on their own. For example, when you combine chloramines with the hydrofluorosilicic acid added to the water supply, they become very effective at extracting lead from old plumbing systems, promoting the accumulation of lead in the water supply

Studies have shown that hydrofluorosilicic acid increases lead accumulation in bone, teeth, and other calcium-rich tissues. This is because the free fluoride ion acts as a transport of heavy metals, allowing them to enter into areas of your body they normally would not be able to go, such as into your brain

My Thoughts on Natural Vitamins in 2011

I have been asked on many occasions to share my thoughts about naturally sourced vitamins and minerals, specifically why I prefer them when designing new product formulations. My thinking on this subject has evolved over several decades from the point where I assumed equivalency between naturals and synthetics, to where I am today. When I first started into analytical chemistry in the 1980s, it was accepted practice to use synthetic vitamins as the standard when analyzing and quantifying vitamins from both natural and synthetic sources. This was because the analytical methods commonly employed at the time were based on relatively simple chromatographic equipment that could not distinguish natural from synthetic. Both compounds co-eluted using these methods, so it was assumed that they must be the same. It didn’t occur to me (or others) at the time that this could be due to a limitation of our methods rather than an absolute “truth” about the equivalency of natural and synthetic vitamins.

This is how it is with science. Based on information and equipment that simply was not available when I developed my original thoughts on the subject, I now realize several factors that certainly could make a significant difference in how natural and synthetic vitamins perform in actual living beings. While these differences are still in the early stage of being defined, I personally believe that there is something important we have been missing, and it will not be a simple matter to sort it out. We have to accept that science is always a work in progress and what we may “know” about our technology at one time could be radically different several decades into the future because of factors that we didn’t know about or take into serious consideration.
