A new study from England found that locations with fluoridated water supplies were more than 30 percent more likely to have high levels of hypothyroidism, compared to areas with low levels of thyroid in the water.
The Chicago Tribune quoted an American endocrinologist with this warning:
“Clinicians in the United States should emphasize to patients this association and should test patients for underactive thyroid,” said Dr. Spyros Mezitis, an endocrinologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
“Patients should probably be advised to drink less fluoridated water and consume less fluoridated products, including (fluoridated) toothpaste,” added Mezitis, who was not involved in the study.
This is a new study, but old news. I wrote about fluoride and thyroid just about a year ago. If you think that fluoride is affecting your thyroid, here’s what you can do to detox fluoride from your thyroid gland: Thyroid Problems? Detox Fluoride & Bromine
