Abstract : This study was conducted to measure the consumption of fluorine in the population in the Jeddah area to investigate the level of increase in consumption for the limit, and the results of such an increase to public health. Been attracted 145 members of the healthy and aged between 7 50 years, divided into three age groups as follows: from 7 12 years (30 children), and from 13 20 years old (30 individuals), and from 20 50 years ( 85 individuals). Also attracted 30 people suffer from a lack of activity of the thyroid gland. And through a personal interview recorded dietary habits and the quantities of food consumed by individuals as well as their use of health products containing fluorine, and through two questionnaires containing one to the list of foods with a level known from fluorine and identifies the person consumed weekly for each type of them, and the second contains questions about daily consumption cells 24 hours prior to the person of foods, beverages and materials containing the element fluorine, as well as the habits of health care with his teeth. Were also examined clinically and examined their teeth to detect the incidence of caries and Filorucez. 15 people have found adults with Bafilhusiz. At the same time from blood samples were taken in the fasting state. To measure glucose, insulin and thyroid hormones and parathyroid and hormone stimulating the thyroid gland, calcium, phosphate, albumin, urea, creatinine, and then took a blood sample again two hours after the intake of glucose (75 g for an adult and 1 g / kg for children) to measure the level of insulin and glucose is also taken from all individuals, Paul and a sample of drinking water also to measure the fluorine in them. Were measured fluorine in all types of drinking water, tea, coffee and other beverages, and used in addition to the information of other food in the calculation of the amount of fluoride which is addressed in each individual, based on the divided people into groups by age and by daily consumption of fluorine, so that the situation of individuals who consume more than required in the group and others in another group within the age groups, was adopted in the division on the values ​​used in Canada, which takes into account the weight of the individual and thus calculates the consumption Bmaekerogeram / kg / day has been found that the group consuming high a percentage of major total of different ages. 53.33% of the group of children and 20% of a group of adolescents and 64.7% of the Group of adults has appeared on some of these individual signs of lack of thyroid activity, reflected the increased secretion of the hormone stimulating the thyroid gland when many of them, as well as an overactive parathyroid gland represented by the increase in the average the value of thyroid hormone [PTH], and reflected the decrease in the average level of phosphorus in all groups, the age of high consumption, in addition to the back of disorder in glucose tolerance represented by the high level of glucose than normal two hours after intake than in many of these individuals and reflected on the the high level of insulin in the same period, as well as in the case of fasting, along with that suffered many of the individuals in the groups with high consumption of anemia and represented in the low level of hemoglobin and hematocrit, the size and number of red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration by, as suspected dysfunction college when some patients with lack of thyroid activity and those who consume high amounts of fluoride, may reverse the effects of increasing fluorine in the case of reduction of consumption in most cases, except for anemia. One of the reasons for the increased consumption of fluoride in children and adolescents increased medical materials containing fluorine, while the main cause in adults is to increase drinking tea. Based on the above, it was concluded that increased consumption of fluoride is dangerous in our society, but not during the First Age. It remains a continuing risk to the lack of apparent changes in individuals, but the side effects affect the biochemical reactions in the body and the formation of blood cells. Therefore it is necessary to warn against the danger of using materials Alhtoah the fluorine in the daily care of the teeth in the long run, as well as a lot of drinking tea, as it has to be public awareness to the dangers of fluoride consumption.
