Fluoride Exposure, The Pineal Gland And Sleep - You Are The Healer
"Recently, new research studied the affect of fluoride exposure on adolescents and their sleep patterns and sleepiness. It was found that fluoride exposure (measured in water and blood plasma) may contribute to changes in the sleep cycle and sleep behaviors of adolscents (16-19 years old). Those with increased fluoride in their drinking water were more likely to report symptoms suggestive of sleep apnea, they went to bed later, and awoke later, and were more likely to snore (males), than the adolescents who had less fluoride in their drinking water.
These researchers studied sleep in adoscents because a 2006 National Research Council report found fluoride is likely to affect the pineal gland funtion and decrease melatonin production. We also know that fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland and appears to be associated with pineal gland calcification. There has been research on the negative affect of fluoride on the IQ of children, but nothing on the affect of fluoride in relationship to the pineal gland, its hormone melatonin, and sleep regulation in children or adolescents.
This new research gives us an indication that the effect of fluoride may be decreasing melatonin and effecting sleep in adolescents."
Fluoride Exposure Linked to Changes in Sleep Cycle, Study Suggests
"Fluoride from environmental sources accumulates preferentially in the pineal gland which produces melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. However, the effects of fluoride on sleep regulation remain unknown."
