UK Against Fluoridation

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

USA - Evidence mounting against fluoridation

To The Editor: The New York State Dental Journal, (January 2008,) states: Fluoride exposure is (rising) causing children’s tooth imperfections ranging from white spots to brownish discoloration and pitting (dental fluorosis).
Consider the following: - Dental fluorosis: Definitive sign of systemic fluoride poisoning. - The FDA admits: No scientific proof that water fluoridation chemicals stop tooth decay and are safe for lifetime ingestion.

- Centers of Disease Control (CDC): Up to 48 percent of children in fluoridated areas now have dental fluorosis, 4 percent have permanently yellow or black stains and pitting (severe fluorosis).

- JAMA: Hip fractures 86 percent higher in fluoridated areas. Fluorosis of teeth or bones causes tensile strength loss, particularly affecting hips.

- The NYSDJ: Children 6 months to 3 years, no more than 1/4 gram of fluoride/day, or the equivalent of 8 oz. of fluoridated water.

- The CDC: No fluoridated water in infant formulas.

- Eight studies: Fluoride lowers IQ/learning

- Dr. Roger Masters, Dartmouth professor emeritus, finds that peeling lead paint in old houses has little effect on blood lead levels unless the child’s drinking fluoridated water.

- Dryden, Ore., (April 14) defeats fluoridation referendum 87 to 13 percent.
