I would like to know more about fluoride. Is it true that it can cause some conditions? Also, what kind of effect does it have on thyroid? I would also appreciate some information about thyroid diseases. Thanks

Fluoride causes more human cancer, than any other chemical and causes it faster. Fluorides cause thyroid cancer and thyroid cancer cells are not the only ones activated by fluoride. All hormone-related cancers such as breast, ovary, uterine, prostate, testis, thyroid etc. share a unique mechanism of carcinogenesis. These cancerous cells are activated by adenyl cyclase and these are activated by fluoride. Most common thyroid diseases are Grave’s disease, thyroid cancer, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, thyroid nodules, thyroiditis etc. Grave’s disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism and it is a chronic disorder in which the affected person’s immune system produces antibodies that attack the thyroid. This causes inflammation, damage, and the production of excessive amounts of thyroid hormone. Like Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a chronic autoimmune condition related to the production of antibodies. The difference is that in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the body makes decreased amounts of thyroid hormone. Thyroid cancer is fairly uncommon and four main types of thyroid cancers: papillary, follicular, anaplastic, and medullary cancer. A thyroid nodule is a small lump on the thyroid gland that may be solid or a fluid-filled cyst.
