Reasons for not fluoridating
Dear Editor,
Nine reasons not to fluoridate Rifle's water supply:
1. "EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other effects." Dr. William Marcus, senior toxicologist at EPA.
2. "I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long-range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable." Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, past president of the American Medical Association.
3. "The plain fact that fluorine is an insidious poison harmful, toxic and cumulative in its effects, even when ingested in minimal amounts, will remain unchanged, no matter how many times it will be repeated in print that fluoridation of the water is 'safe'." Dr. Ludwig Grosse, chief of cancer research, U.S. Veterans Administration.
4. In Harlem, N.Y., which has been fluoridated for 32 years, "There's more dental decay among these kids; we see the beginning of inflamed gingivitis in their mouths." American Dental Association, May 2000.
5. "Fluoride has been shown to adversely affect the central nervous system, causing behavioral changes, increased hip fractures and reproduction problems." Natick Report Research Team (includes Apollo Program Project Scientist, Dr. N.R. Mancuso).
6. "Fluoride exposure, at levels that are experienced by a significant proportion of the population whose drinking water is fluoridated, may have adverse impacts on the developing brain." Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility, May 2000.
7. "All of the organizations promoting water fluoridation agree that dental fluorosis, which is the first visible sign of systemic poisoning, increases with water fluoride levels." Dr. Kennedy, past president of International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
8. "Fluoridation ... it is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has." Dr. Professor Albert Schatz, (Microbiology) co-discoverer of Streptomycin, the cure for tuberculosis.
9. Because it's the right thing to do.Mary Bridges
