Fluoride Causes Abnormal Bone Growth

Ingesting fluoride has been shown to cause serious effects on bones in the human body by creating abnormal growths. The make up of bones is also compromised as your body is more ingesting fluoride for a longer amount of time. After ingesting fluoride for long periods, lesions start to present themselves on your bones; these lesions can be looked at as weaker or stronger parts of bone that allow the bone to grow in areas that are not formally known to grow; this creates abnormal growths. “The stages of bone lesions have been characterized by different names, including but not limited to; osteosclerosis, and osteomalacia (NA 2007).”
