Not chemical, I should say element
I mean, Gwench, how does an **element** transform into another **element** within the confines of the human body?
It’s doesn’t transform. It displaces
That violates a ridiculous amount of physical laws
🤔
@Ætos I really am an oral specialist. I know about fluoride.
I have no doubt that you’re an oral specialist
The chemist bit on the other hand
Iodine has no influence on the absorption of calcium. . .
Nor does the thyroid. . .
🤔
@etos the thyroid produces calcitonin...responsible for the distribution of calcium from the blood to bone.
@Ætos I’m afraid fluoride is not an element. But fluorine is.
Fluoride is the ion form of fluorine
The sole discrepancy there is a difference in electrical charge
Actually fluoride is an anion.
*The key difference is still charge*
-.-
Then again my biology is definitely not he best
Like I said...I know what I’m talking about. Please read definition of displace. It’s obvious there is a misunderstanding on your part.
No, I’m not kidding, if I’m wrong, knock yourself out, educate me.
I’m not an expert by any means
If there’s something to be learned, I’ll hear it
I’ve said enough. It’s your responsibility to have known your topic before arguing a point.
In order to “displace”, the fluoride ions would have to be absorbed in place of iodide ions at an equal level.
You are correct
Then one would have to demonstrate how that displacement affects the release of calcitonin.
Oh lord
What role does iodide play in the production of calcitonin?
🤔
Iodide is needed for the thyroid and all cells of the body... to function properly.
Otherwise you get hyper/hypothyroidism,
The irony is that iodide prevents the thyroid from releasing hormones at an excessive rate
So how would removing a chemical that inhibits something then cause it to be more inhibited?
🤔
