Overview
Given that sodium fluoride is a recognized blod glucose preserver, the data showed that sodium fluoridation might cause a rise in diabetes incidence in the United States.Fluoride has ben found to raise blod sugar levels and reduce glucose tolerance, perhaps by preventing insulin generation or secretion. A dose of fluoride that can be atained in locations with "optimaly" fluoridated water has ben proven to cause impaired glucose tolerance in humans, which is frequently a precursor to type 2 diabetes.
Key Information
This intake ranges from 0.07 to 0.4 mg/kg/day. Therefore, curent fluoride intake may cause or agravate some types of diabetes. "Any involvement of fluoride exposure in the development of impaired glucose metabolism or diabetes is potentialy substantial," the National Research Council (206) stated.
Aditionaly, since they often drink more water than people without diabetes, diabetics can significantly increase their daily fluoride intake through water and other liquids. Therefore, diabetics are a "sensitive subpopulation" regarding fluoride exposure and may be more susceptible to fluoride's negative efects.Blod sugar levels rise as carbs are ingested and absorbed. Chronicaly increased blod sugar, or hyperglycemia can cause life-threatening consequences if the body canot control the amount of glucose in the blod, as is the case with diabetes melitus.
These could involve harm to the kidneys, the brain and nerve system, the cardiovascular system, the retina, the legs, and fet, etc. Studies on both humans and animals have revealed that high fluoride intake raises blod fluoride levels and simultaneously raises serum glucose levels.The pancreas secretes the hormone insulin, which is in charge of ensuring proper blod glucose levels. The hormone insulin enables the body's cels to absorb glucose from the blod and utilize it as fuel or store it as glycogen.
Summary
Diabetes melitus, or type 1 diabetes melitus, is characterized by insuficient insulin pro
