Wonder if there are more hip fractures in Fluoridated areas here?

Outdated ideas about fluoridation

Aside from the obvious wisdom of not using public drinking water as a vehicle to deliver highly cumulative people-treatment substances, consider the following:

1. Ninety percent of tooth decay occurs where fluoridation was never claimed to be effective: the pits and fissures of teeth, i.e., the chewing surfaces of the molars. Thus, for decades, dentists have been applying plastic sealants to these surfaces.

2. In 1993, the Journal of Public Health Dentistry reported, "Fifty percent of U.S. Head Start children have had baby bottle tooth decay." Fluoridation does not work here either. And nowadays the sippy cup is extending this decay to epidemic levels. The Denver Post illustrates this point in an April 13, 2004, article. Denver has been fluoridated since 1954 and one dentist reports 300 cases a year of this rampant decay. See www.Keepers-of-the-Well.org

3. Fluoride's effect is now claimed to be topical (such as toothpaste) rather than by ingestion (Journal of the American Dental Association, July 2000). The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concurs.

4. In establishing the lethal dose for test animals, it took 20 times more naturally occurring calcium fluoride to kill 50 percent of the adult guinea pigs than it took for any of the three water fluoridation chemicals.

5. In the Aug. 12, 1992, Journal of the American Medical Association, a Utah hip fracture study shows that hip fractures were double for women at age 75 if they drank fluoridated tap water for a 20-year span prior to their menopause when bone turnover is still rapidly depositing the embrittling fluoride into new bone. The men's increase in hip fracture was 41 percent. These figures only reflect the 50 percent accumulation into adult bone. Imagine what this figure would have been had these women been raised on fluoridated water since infancy, wherein fluoride accumulation is 87 percent.

A 2004 book based on 1995 declassified documents, The Fluoride Deception, reveals the details of this 1950s public health blunder. www.FluorideAlert.org posts over a dozen reviews of this long-overdue investigative report.
