Low bone density due to high levels of natural fluoride in drinking well water?

[Tom2000]

Apologies for repeating this question but I have not been able to find it on the website or any replies to it. So first question - How do I find a question that I have posted, along with any responses?

But the original question -

I have been diagnosed by my GP as having low bone density after a scan and blood tests. I am apparently just short of osteopenia She has prescribed alendronic acid , calcium carbonate /vit D which I am happy with.

I grew up in the suburbs of Montreal age 2 to 13 in the 50's where our drinking water supply was from a well (civilised electric pump!) The ground water in Montreal contains high levels of fluoride due to the geology of the island,

I have suffered 5 bone breakages in my life. One, landing badly after a high jump , twice from skiing falls and once from an ice-skating fall and the most recent, last summer, from a stress fracture in one of my vertebrae when merely running a 5K. I have always had dark discoloured teeth and have lost 5 of my back teeth, not by tooth decay, but by breaking them badly.

So my question, is it possible that my high fluoride intake as a child could have affected my bone growth? If so, would it be of any advantage to discuss it with my GP?

Cheers.

Just to add if anybody is interested, I returned to the neighbourhood a few years ago and they now have modern water and sewage infrastructure installed. Sadly much woodland has been lost though.

just to say I have now found my original post so this post should be ignored. Apologies for all the finger trouble! Is there a delete button anywhere?
