Study Reveals Potential Link Between Water Fluoridation's additives NOT fluoride, and Type 2 diabetes

A potential link between water fluoridation and type 2 diabetes has been found by researchers using mathematical” models. The study, which was published in the Journal of Water and Health, “reveals that fluoridation with sodium fluoride could be a contributing factor to the prevalence of diabetes in the United States, as the chemical is a known preservative of blood glucose.” The study found that “a one milligram increase in average county fluoride levels predicted a 0.17 percent increase in age-adjusted diabetes prevalence.” the differences between the types of fluoride additives; those additives linked to diabetes in the analyses included sodium fluoride and sodium fluorosilicate. Fluorosilicic acid seemed to have an opposing effect and was associated with decreases in diabetes incidence and prevalence. The study, which analyzed prevalence rates across 22 states, found that counties that relied on naturally occurring fluoride in their water and did not supplement with fluoride additives also showed lower diabetes rates. http://www.medicaldaily.com/fluoride-consumption-linked-diabetes-researches-find-potential-link-using-395273
