Food additive
Borax, given the E number E285, is used as a food additive in some countries but is banned in the United States. As a consequence, certain foods, such as caviar, produced for sale in the U.S. contain higher levels of salt to assist preservation.[10] Its use as a cooking ingredient is to add a firm rubbery texture to the food, or as a preservative. In oriental cooking it is mostly used for its texturing properties. In Asia, Borax (Chinese: 硼砂; pinyin: péng shā) or (Chinese: 月石; pinyin: yuè shí) was found to have been added to some Chinese foods like the hand-pulled noodles lamian and some rice noodles like Shahe fen, Kway Teow, and Chee Cheong Fun recipes.[11] In Indonesia it is a common, but forbidden, additive to such foods as noodles, bakso (meatballs), and steamed rice. The country's Directorate of Consumer Protection warns of the risk of liver cancer with high consumption over a period of 5–10 years.[12

It’s not too late!
Regarding fluoride (and chlorine) in the body, here are some comments from an acquaintance of mine that has studied this subject indepth (although he’s not a doctor). Words worth heeding:
i mentioned this law in a few articles back when discussing the glands… in particular the thyroid gland…
The thryoid gland is very dependant on IODINE… you can write a bible on the importance of iodine and am sure everyone can search google…
iodine keeps the nervous system calm… helps burn stored fat… and helps you think clearly….
what many do not realise is that iodine is easily displaced… i.e. easily voided… neutralised… negated… by several elements and one of them is FLUORIDE… yes this magic ingredient they put in our drinking water in excessive amounts…. which also numbs the pineal and pituitary glands…. and helps calcify the glands… is it a wonder they like to keep pumping this ingredient into our water..
not only we have FLUORIDE… we also have CHLORINE which negates IODINE…. and what more than ever do we find infested everywhere in our food and/or water are these two elements…
supplementing with IODINE will not help one iota… if these ingredients such as chlorine or fluoride are in the body…. you are just throwing your money down the toilet…
there is a family group of elements known as HALOGENS and these are… fluorine… chlorine…. bromine… iodine….asatine…
the halogen law states that.. “The Halogen element having the lowest atomic weight will ALWAYS DISPLACE another, within the Halogen group, whose atomic weight is greater.”
arranged in ascending order from lowest to highest atomic weight…
Element Symbol Atomic Weight.
Fluorine F 9.
Chlorine Cl 17.
Bromine Br 35.
Iodine I 53.
Asatine At 85.
as you can see above… IODINE has a greater atomic weight than flourine or chlorine…. which means anytime they come across each other… the lesser weight halogens will FORCE the greater weight halogens out of the cell….
IODINE is stored mainly in the THYROID… however as soon as chlorine and/or fluoride comes along… they push IODINE OUT of the cells and take its place…. further to this… fluorine is the number one calcifier of the glands…. which are a biomarker for aging…
both fluorine and chlorine… these two toxic elements will ALWAYS displace Iodine… an element that is vitally needed to protect your thyroid gland and prevent goiter and poisoning from radioactive elements…
fluorine will decompose almost ALL compounds to form fluorides… and most important element for existence… OXYGEN… will never combine with it… this should explain oxygen deficiency in our cells…
Do not have dental work done again until you have read Tooth Truth by Dr Frank Jerome from cover to cover. If you try to buy this book from amazon.com you will have to pay $300 for a used book, but if you simply call Dr Jerome's office (bottom of this page) you can get the book for $21.95 plus shipping. This is the most valuable book in print on the terrible health injustice inflicted on dental patients in this country by an out-of-touch, ignorant, and arrogant dental bureaucracy. Knowledge is power. When you have the facts, you are in the driver's seat. Get in the driver's seat and stay there.
