Fluorine toxicity
Most of the body’s fluorine (F) is contained in bones and teeth. Fluoride (the ionic form of fluorine) is widely distributed in nature. The main source of fluoride is fluoridated drinking water.
Excess fluorine can accumulate in teeth and bones, causing fluorosis. Drinking water containing gt; 10 parts per million is a common cause. Permanent teeth that develop during high fluoride intake are most likely to be affected. Exposure must be much greater to affect deciduous teeth.
The earliest signs of fluorine toxicity areChalky-white, irregularly distributed patches on the surface of the enamel
These patches become stained yellow or brown, producing a characteristic mottled appearance. Severe toxicity weakens the enamel, pitting its surface. Bony changes, including osteosclerosis, exostoses of the spine, and genu valgum, can develop but only in adults after prolonged high intake of fluoride.
No tests to diagnose toxicity are available.
Treatment of fluorine toxicity involves reducing fluoride intake; eg, in areas with high fluoride water levels, patients should not drink fluoridated water or take fluoride supplements. Children should always be told not to swallow fluoridated toothpastes.

Overview of vitamins
Vitamins may be
Fat soluble (vitamins A, D, E, and K)
Water soluble (B vitamins and vitamin C)The B vitamins include biotin, folate, niacin , pantothenic acid, riboflavin (B2), thiamin (B1), B6 (eg, pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamins).
For dietary requirements, sources, functions, effects of deficiencies and toxicities, blood levels, and usual therapeutic dosages for vitamins, see table Recommended Daily Intakes for Vitamins and Sources, Functions, and Effects of Vitamins.
Dietary requirements for vitamins (and other nutrients) are expressed as daily recommended intake (DRI). There are 3 types of DRI:Recommended daily allowance (RDA): RDAs are set to meet the needs of 97 to 98% of healthy people.
Adequate intake (AI): When data to calculate an RDA are insufficient, AIs are based on observed or experimentally determined estimates of nutrient intake by healthy people.
Tolerable upper intake level (UL): ULs are the largest amount of a nutrient that most adults can ingest daily without risk of adverse health effects.In developed countries, vitamin deficiencies result mainly from the following:
Poverty
Food faddism
Drugs (see Nutrient-Drug Interactions and table Potential Vitamin-Drug Interactions)
Alcoholism
Prolonged and inadequately supplemented parenteral feeding
MalabsorptionMild vitamin deficiency is common among frail and institutionalized elderly people who have protein-energy undernutrition.
In developing countries, vitamin deficiencies can result from lack of access to nutrients.
Deficiencies of water-soluble vitamins (except vitamin B12) may develop after weeks to months of undernutrition. Deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins and of vitamin B12 take gt; 1 year to develop because the body stores them in relatively large amounts. Intakes of vitamins sufficient to prevent classic vitamin deficiencies (such as scurvy or beriberi) may not be adequate for optimum health. This area remains one of controversy and active research.
Vitamin dependency results from a genetic defect involving metabolism of a vitamin. In some cases, vitamin doses as high as 1000 times the DRI improve function of the altered metabolic pathway.
Vitamin toxicity (hypervitaminosis) usually results from taking megadoses of vitamin A, D, C, B6, or niacin .
Because many people eat irregularly, foods alone may provide suboptimal amounts of some vitamins. In these cases, the risk of certain cancers or other disorders may be increased. However, routine daily multivitamin supplements have not been proved to reduce cancer. Supplementation with vitamins does not appear to prevent cardiovascular disease (1, 2) or falls (3, 4, 5, 6). -

Cosmo sheldrake
A visionary, a quirky lad who churns out pure art. His music makes you dream of having a picnic of fruit you picked with your love, [chowing down] while sitting atop a tree stump in a forest far from any other humans, youre both covered in dirt and singing songs about [the old gods], chunky birds, and cool bugs. He makes videos performing his songs where they blend so perfectly with the location, and its absolutely beautiful. He puts his soul and his thoughts and his interests into his creations and he needs to be more well known for his work. His songs range from crying near a pond over a [lost love] to exploring an old stone castle with your lads.
