Prostate Disease Linked to Gum DiseaseProstate disease is more common than one may be inclined to think. Just about 8% of adults have the disease, and researchers at Case Western Reserve University have found a correlation. It seems that patients with prostatitis also have a lower clinical attachment level between the gums and teeth.
The correlation between Prostate disease and a low clinical attachment, or LCL, is most likely due to heightened degree of inflamation experienced by those with Prostate disease.

Over 3000 American Health Professional Opposed to Fluoride
The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading awareness for the toxicity of fluoride and the health impacts of current exposure. To date, the organization has garnered the support of more than 3,000 health professionals and have added substantial momentum to their movement.
Public drinking water was first fluoridated in the early 1930s as a means of providing the mineral fluoride to the general public. The practice began based on the idea that fluoride could help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. The practice continues today in most developed nations around the world, despite a lack of clinical evidence supporting the benefits and safety of water fluoridation. One must educate themselves on the prevalence of this potentially toxic mineral. Most recently, the United States government has recommended that individuals use fewer fluoridated products, like tooth pastes and mouth rinses.
