This book explores the lesser-known toxicological implications of fluoride, an element often celebrated for its benefits to dental health. While fluoride is widely regarded as essential in trace amounts, its prolonged exposure and accumulation, particularly in endemic regions, has raised serious health concerns. Drawing on rigorous scientific investigation, Fluoride: The Dark Side of an Essential Element presents a detailed account of fluoride's biochemical effects and its impact on organ systems, with a special emphasis on male reproductive health. Key Features: Comprehensive Review of Fluoride Toxicity: The book synthesizes findings from decades of research, including global studies and local case analyses, to present an in-depth understanding of fluoride’s toxic potential. Biochemical and Histopathological Investigations: Using experimental models, the book explores how fluoride alters enzyme activities, hormonal levels, oxidative stress markers, and tissue architecture, particularly in testicular and hepatic tissues. Focus on Male Reproductive Health: A dedicated section investigates fluoride's interference with male fertility, including sperm morphology, testosterone levels, and cellular degeneration, offering alarming insights supported by microscopic histological evidence. Public Health Perspective: The book also sheds light on the socio-environmental burden of fluoride overexposure in regions with contaminated water supplies and emphasizes the need for strict water quality monitoring and policy reforms.
