Summation - Fluoride & Pineal Gland: Up until the 1990s, no research had ever been conducted to determine the impact of fluoride on the pineal gland
- a small gland located between the two hemispheres of the brain that regulates the production of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that
helps regulate the onset of puberty and helps protect the body from cell damage caused by free radicals. It is now known - thanks to the meticulous
research of Dr. Jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England - that the pineal gland is the primary target of fluoride accumulation within
the body. The soft tissue of the adult pineal gland contains more fluoride than any other soft tissue in the body - a level of fluoride (~300 ppm)
capable of inhibiting enzymes. The pineal gland also contains hard tissue (hyroxyapatite crystals), and this hard tissue accumulates more fluoride
(up to 21,000 ppm) than any other hard tissue in the body (e.g. teeth and bone). After finding that the pineal gland is a major target for fluoride
accumulation in humans, Dr. Luke conducted animal experiments to determine if the accumulated fluoride could impact the functioning of the gland -
particulalry the gland's regulation of melatonin. Luke found that animals treated with fluoride had lower levels of circulating melatonin, as
reflected by reduced levels of melatonin metabolites in the animals' urine. This reduced level of circulating melatonin was accompanied - as might be
expected - by an earlier onset of puberty in the fluoride-treated female animals. Luke summarized her human and animal findings as follows: "In
conclusion, the human pineal gland contains the highest concentration of fluoride in the body. Fluoride is associated with depressed pineal melatonin
synthesis by prepubertal gerbils and an accelerated onset of sexual maturation in the female gerbil. The results strengthen the hypothesis that the
pineal has a role in the timing of the onset of puberty. Whether or not fluoride interferes with pineal function in humans requires further
investigation." Online Papers - Fluoride & the Pineal Gland: FULL TEXT - html: Luke J. (2001). Fluoride deposition in the aged human pineal gland.

study of pineal function indicates that fluoride exposure results in altered melatonin production and altered timing of sexual maturity. Whether
fluoride affects pineal function in humans remains to be demonstrated. The two studies of menarcheal age in humans show the possibility of earlier
menarche in some individuals exposed to fluoride, but no definitive statement can be made. Recent information on the role of the pineal organ in
humans suggests that any agent that affects pineal function could affect human health in a variety of ways, including effects on sexual maturation,
calcium metabolism, parathyroid function, postmenopausal osteoporosis, cancer, and psychiatric disease.” SOURCE: National Research Council. (2006).

& Pineal Gland - Never Studied before 1990s: (back to top) "It is remarkable that the pineal gland has never been analysed separately for F because
it has several features which suggest that it could accumulate F. It has the highest calcium concentration of any normal soft tissue in the body
because it calcifies physiologically in the form of hydroxyapatite (HA). It has a high metabolic activity coupled with a very profuse blood supply:
two factors favouring the deposition of F in mineralizing tissues. The fact that the pineal is outside the blood-brain barrier suggests that pineal HA
could sequester F from the bloodstream if it has the same strong affinity for F as HA in the other mineralizing tissues. The intensity of the toxic
effects of most drugs depends upon their concentration at the site of action. The mineralizing tissues (bone and teeth) accumulate high concentrations
of F and are the first to show toxic reactions to F. Hence, their reactions to F have been especially well studied. If F accumulates in the pineal
gland, then this points to a gap in our knowledge about whether or not F affects pineal physiology...
