San Francisco.
fluoride
Toxic fluoride waste can only be disposed of in
expensive toxic waste dumps or by being dumped in your drinking
water.Fluoride
compounds are readily absorbed by the intestines and, may eventually, be
excreted through urine.
Fluoride combines with dissolved solids in the
water to form potent toxins (such as with aluminum fluoride, a dangerous
neurotoxin).
One mechanism of toxicity involves the combination of the
fluoride anion with the calcium ions in the blood to form insoluble calcium
fluoride. A possible other mechanism of toxicity could be a recombinant with an
aluminum vaccine adjuvant.
A few organofluorine compounds are extremely
toxic, such as organophosphates like sarin (nerve gas) and diisopropyl
fluorophosphate that react with the cholinesterase enzyme at neuromuscular
junctions and thus block the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles.
Prior to "fluoridation" industry spent a fortune disposing of fluoride
toxic waste, and paying for damages to livestock and the
environment.
"The one utterly relentless force behind fluoridation is
American 'big industry' and the motive is not profit as such, but
fear. Fear of colossal damage suits, and
fear that official intervention will
begin to mushroom wherever fluoride devastates air, water,
soil and all forms of life. Added to
this is fear of forfeiting the legally
permissible level for dumping fluoride toxic waste into water supplies which is
presently in effect for the specific purpose of accommodating industry." - F.
B. Exner, Medical Doctor, Fellow of the American College of
Radiologists

employee of the EPA charges the federal government of the US with turning a
blind eye to the systematic poisoning of America's food supply, animals, water,
and people. |
1931 Fluoride, one of the most toxic substances known, is
found to be the cause of brown teeth - now known as dental fluorosis.
1931 H. Trendley Dean of
the US Public Health Service initiates studies on fluorides under the
jurisdiction of Treasury Secretary Andrew William Mellon.
Andrew William Mellon is founder of
Alcoa aluminum, the main supplier of
toxic sodium fluoride as a by-product of aluminum manufacture. He publishes a
purposely skewed study showing that, at 1ppm, fluoride results in the reduction
of tooth decay.
1937 German manufacturing trials
for nerve gas Tabun begin using fluorides and in 1938 German chemist Schrader
discovers Sarin, 10 times more lethal than Tabun, which is made with various
compounds including sodium fluoride.
1940 Soviet concentration camps use fluoride administration to
inmates to decrease resistance to authority and induce physical
deteriorization.
1942 Germany becomes world's
largest producer of aluminum and the manufacturing byproduct sodium
fluoride.
1943 Researchers from the US Public
Health Service examine the health of residents of Bartlett, Texas to see if the
8ppm fluoride in the drinking water was affecting their health. They find that
the death rate in Bartlett was three times higher than a
neighboring village which
contained 0.4 ppm fluoride.
On September 18, 1943, the Journal of the
American Medical Association states, "fluorides are general protoplasmic
poisons, changing the permeability of the cell membrane by inhibiting certain
enzymes. The exact mechanism of such actions are obscure. The sources of
fluorine intoxication are drinking water containing 1ppm or more of fluorine,
fluorine compounds used as insecticidal sprays for fruits and vegetables
(cryolite and barium fluoro- silicate) and the mining and conversion of
phosphate rock to superphosphate, which is used as a fertilizer. That process
alone releases approximately 25,000 tons of pure fluorine into the atmosphere
annually."
1944 The city manager of Grand Rapids,
Michigan announces that the Michigan State Department of Health is planning a
long range experiment with fluoridated water and that Grand Rapids was selected
as the location for the experiment. The city commission approves a motion to
fluoridate despite the warning issued three months earlier by the American
Dental Association. Grand Rapids becomes the first city in the US to conduct
this experiment. It was to serve as the test city to be compared against
un-fluoridated Muskegon for a period of ten years relative to tooth decay, at
which time it would be determined whether or not fluoride was "safe and
effective." Dr. H. Trendley Dean was put in charge of the project. (As a result
of government propaganda on fluorides, the ten year Michigan study was
terminated after 1 year. The fluoride-free control city, Muskegon, was then
fluoridated to conceal any differential between the two cities.)
In
1944 Oscar Ewing is put on the payroll of the
Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA),
as an attorney, at an annual salary of $750,000. Within a few months, Oscar
Ewing was made Federal Security Administrator, with the announcement that he
was taking a big cut in salary. The US Public Health Service, then a division
of the FSA, comes under the command of Ewing , and he begins to vigorously
promote fluoridation nationwide. Oscar Ewings public relations strategist for
the fluoride campaign was the nephew of Sigmund Freud,
Edward Louis
Bernays. Edward
Louis Bernays conducts a public relations campaign to promote fluoride
ingestion by applying Freudian theory to induce public acceptance. It was one
of Edward Louis Bernays
most successful campaigns.
"We do know that
the use of drinking water containing as little as 1.2 to 3.0 ppm of fluorine
will cause such developmental disturbances in bones as
osteoporosis, and we cannot run
the risk of producing such systemic disturbances in applying what at present is
a doubtful procedure intended to prevent development of dental disfigurement in
children. In the light of our present knowledge or lack of knowledge of the
chemistry of the subject, the potentialities for harm far outweigh those for
good." - The Journal of the American Dental Association, October 1,
1944
1945 Newburgh, New York has their water
supply fluoridated. Subsequent exams of the children by x-ray reveal that
almost 14% have cortical defects in bone, compared to the nearby unfluoridated
village of Kingston, where 7.5%
have bone defects.
Fluoride was a key chemical in atomic bomb
production, according to World War II documents obtained by Joel Griffiths and
Chris Bryson.
Millions of tons of fluoride were essential for the
manufacture of atomic bomb grade uranium and plutonium for
nuclear
weapons throughout the Cold War. Fluoride rapidly emerged as the leading
chemical health hazard of the American atomic bomb program.
Much of the
original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low doses was generated by
atomic bomb
program scientists, who had been secretly ordered to provide "evidence
useful in litigation" against defense contractors for fluoride injury to
citizens.
The first
lawsuits against the American
atomic bomb
program were not over radiation, but over fluoride damage.
Atomic bomb
program researchers played a leading role in the design and implementation of the most extensive
American study of the health effects of fluoridating public drinking water -
conducted in Newburgh, New York from 1945 to 1956.
In this classified
'top secret' operation code-named "Program F",
they secretly gathered and analyzed blood and tissue samples from Newburgh
citizens, with the cooperation of New York State Health Department
personnel.
The original 'top secret' version - obtained by Joel
Griffiths and Chris Bryson - of a 1948 study
published by
Program F
scientists in the Journal of the American Dental Association shows that
evidence of adverse health effects from fluoride was censored by the US Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC) - considered the most powerful of Cold War agencies -
for reasons of national security.
The American atomic bomb program's
fluoride safety studies were conducted at the University of Rochester, site of
one of the most notorious human radiation
experiments of the Cold
War, in which unsuspecting
hospital patients were injected with toxic doses of radioactive plutonium.
The fluoride studies were conducted with the same ethical mind-set, in
which "national security" was paramount - the individual may be sacrificed
for the good of the social culture.
An April 29, 1944 Manhattan
Project memo reports: "Clinical evidence suggests that uranium hexafluoride may
have a rather marked
central
nervous system effect.... It seems most likely that the F [code for
fluoride] component rather than the T [code for uranium] is the causative
factor."
The memo - stamped "secret" - is addressed to the head of the
Manhattan Project's Medical Section, Colonel Stafford Warren.
Colonel
Stafford Warren is asked to approve a program of animal research on uranium
hexafluoride effects: "Since work with these compounds is essential, it will be
necessary to know in advance what mental effects may occur after exposure...
This is important not only to protect a given individual, but also to
prevent a confused workman from injuring
others by improperly performing his duties."
"How could I be told by
National Institutes of Health that fluoride has no central nervous
system effects when these
documents were sitting there all the time? That kind of warning, that fluoride
workers might be a danger to the
atomic bomb
program by improperly performing their duties - I can't
imagine that would be ignored - but that the
results were buried because they might create a difficult legal and public
relations problem for the government."- Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, former head of
toxicology at Forsyth Dental Center in Boston.
In a subsequent secret
Manhattan Project memo, a broader solution to the public relations problem was
suggested by chief fluoride toxicologist Harold C. Hodge. He wrote to the
Medical Section chief, Colonel Stafford Warren: "Would there be any use in
making attempts to counteract the local fear of fluoride on the part of residents
of Salem and Gloucester counties through lectures on fluoride toxicology and
perhaps the usefulness of fluoride in tooth health?"
Such lectures were
indeed given, not only to New Jersey citizens but to the rest of the nation
throughout the Cold War.
The aluminum, steel and fertilizer industries
all produce hazardous toxic waste
products called
silicofluorides, which are much more toxic than lead, almost as toxic as
arsenic, and contain some of both.
1948 A
study is undertaken in England where bone defects in three groups of school
boys were studied. Two groups were from districts where the water supply was
practically free of fluorine. The third group was from the
village of Launton, where the
natural water supply contains 1ppm of fluorine (the same as the level deemed
"safe" by the US Public Health Service). X-ray examination revealed that 20
percent of the first two groups had mild non-specific spinal irregularities. In
the third group, the one consuming 1ppm fluoride in their water, 64% were found
to have spinal defects, and lesions were more severe.
1951 US Public Health Service, with the cooperation of
the American Dental Association, holds a meeting of state dental
directors at which the methods for promotion of fluoridation are outlined. A
concentration of 1.2 ppm was suggested, and state dental directors were
instructed to lie to the public about the toxic effects of sodium fluoride.
They were to deliberately misinform the public by relating the presence of
"high-fluoride areas" to "less cancer and less polio" - an entire public
relations campaign meant to con-vince the public to allow themselves to be
medicated.
1952 The American Dental
Association publishes an issue of its Journal instructing its dentists not
to discuss their personal opinions about fluoride.
"I sometimes wonder
if Alcoa aluminum and its subsidiaries might not have a deep interest in
getting rid of sodium fluoride, a toxic waste product of the aluminum industry.
In this connection it is interesting to note that the person in charge of the
public health, Oscar Ewing, is also an attorney for ALCOA." - US Representative
Dr. AL Miller, Chairman of the Special Committee on Chemicals and Foods, 82nd
Congress, 2nd Session, Hearings of the Select Committee to Investigate Use of
Chemicals in Food and Cosmetics
"Alcoa's Vancouver, Washington plant was
found guilty of dumping 1,000
to 7,000 pounds of fluoride poison each month into the Columbia River. The
fluoride contaminated the grass and forage
and resulted in injury and death to cattle." - Seattle Times, Dec. 16,
1952
1954 A study is
published which links fluorides and the development of cancer in animals. (A
Taylor, "Sodium Fluoride in the Drinking Water of Mice", Dental Digest, Vol 60,
pp170-172.)
CE Perkins, IG
Farben chemist, admits fluoride is to reduce resistance in people to
authority.
1956 March 1956 issue of the Journal
of the American Dental Association, H.C. Hodge remarks, "skeletal deposition of
fluoride is a continuing process in which a considerable portion of the
ingested fluoride, perhaps 25 to 50%, is deposited in the
skeleton."
1957 Records for New Britain, Connecticut (where the use of
industrial fluorides had been in use for 6 years) showed that some of the
children's teeth had been damaged beyond repair where the water is fluoridated.
Even when the percentage of industrial fluorine is kept at or below 1 ppm,
mottling is produced in 10-15% of the children examined. Mottled teeth are
teeth showing symptoms of fluorosis, and the enamel of mottled teeth is brittle
and subject to mechanical injury which is difficult or impossible to repair.
1958 Dr. J.F. Montague, a medical doctor,
published material reflecting his growing concern over fluoridation in the
Journal of the International College of Surgeons, connecting the
presence of fluorine in the human body to cancer.
1959"It is apparent that the practice of fluoridation is not
the simple, trustworthy procedure that the promoting authorities have given the
profession and the public to believe."- 3rd Medical-Dental Conference on the
Evaluation of Fluoridation, March 7, 1959 in New York City
Fluorides
were used as an enzyme inhibitor in a study by J.D. Ebert that was published in
1959 on the metabolic pathways by which organs in an embryo are formed. In low
concentrations, he found that sodium fluoride blocked almost completely the
regions destined to form muscle, primarily affecting the
heart muscle. In higher
concentrations, it caused the entire embryo to disintegrate in a clear-cut
pattern, starting with the heart forming region.
The Ontario Minister of
Health, Dr. Dymond, announced that no further fluoridation would be permitted
there, because "no one knows for sure what the effect is to persons given
fluoride throughout a lifetime."
As early as 1959, the knowledge existed
that the presence of fluoride in human bodies hastens the absorption of
radioactive substances present in the environment. In a report to the Atomic
Energy Commission's Division of Biology and Medicine labeled "The Metabolism of
Alkaline Earth Metals by Bone" by F.W. Lengemann, professor of chemistry at the
University of Tennessee on March 23, 1959, it was scientifically shown that the
presence of fluorine and other environmental substances such as lead and
cyanide in the human body increased the ratio of strontium 90 to calcium in
bone.
In research conducted on the incidence of Mongolism in cities in
Wisconsin, Illinois and the Dakotas published in 1959 in the official
publication of the French Academy of Medicine, it was found that as the
percentage of fluorides in the water rose, there was a parallel rise in the
incidence of Mongoloid births. The age of the mothers giving birth to Mongoloid
babies also declined with rising fluoride levels. It is interesting thatin the
first three years of fluoridation, New Britain, Connecticut experienced a 150%
rise in still births.
1961"Fluoride is a
well-known inhibitor of several enzyme systems". - Dr. R.A.Holman of the Royal
Institute of Pathology
1963 American Academy of
Sciences study shows low fluoride levels increase tumors. Irwin Herskowitz and
Isabel Norton "Increased Incidence of Melanotic Tumors Following Treatment with
Sodium Fluoride", Genetics, Vol 48, pp 307-310.
1965 A study is published which links fluorides to cancer in
animals. A. Taylor and N.C.Taylor, "Effect of Fluoride on Tumor Growth",
Proceedings of the Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine, Vol 65, pp
252-255.
1969 Fluoridated cities had an average
cancer death rate of 225 per 100,000 people, while non-fluoridated
cities had an average cancer
death
rate of 195 per 100,000. The data indicates a fluoride-linked increase of
cancer of 10% in only 13-17 years. These figures were checked and confirmed in
1979 by the US National Cancer Institute.
Unpredictable issues make meaningless any talk
about "controlled individual fluoride intake": the gross variation in
individual water consumption, the varied intake of fluorides in food and the
fluoride intake from atmospheric and occupational exposure.1971 Germany bans water fluoridation.
1972 Sweden bans water
fluoridation.
1973 Netherlands bans water
fluoridation.
1974 Safe Water Drinking Act
is passed. EPA (EPA) sets maximum contamination levels (MCL) for various water
pollutants, including sodium fluoride. The EPA sets the fluoride contamination
level at an unbelievable 1.4 ppm for "warmer climates" and up to 2.4 ppm for
"colder climates". The American Dental Association begins pressuring the EPA to
raise the MCL for fluoride in public water to 8 ppm, when it is fully known
that systemic damage occurs below 1 pmm. The National Drinking Water Advisory
Council refuses to recommend raising the fluoride MCL, and came close to
recommending its lowering. The EPA then farms out research work to ICAIR Life
Systems, which issues a fraudulent report (confirmed by ICAIR employee Dr. John
Beaver). The report is woven into the US EPA report on fluoride, resulting in
the EPA recommendation of MCL for sodium fluoride in public water to be 4
ppm.
1975 Dr. John Yiamouyiannis publishes a
preliminary survey which shows that people in fluoridated areas have a higher
cancer death rate than those in non-fluoridated areas. The National
Cancer Institute attempts to refute the studies. Later in 1975, Yiamouyiannis
joins with Dr. Dean Burk, chief chemist of the National Cancer Institute
(1939-1974) in performing other studies which are then included in the
Congressional Record by Congressman Delaney. Delaney was the original author of
the Delaney Amendment, which prohibited the addition of cancer-causing
substances to food used for human consumption. Both reports confirmed the
existence of a link between fluoridation and cancer.
1976 Dr. D.W.Allman and co-workers from
Indiana University School of Medicine feed animals 1 part-per-million (ppm)
fluoride and notice the urinary levels and tissue levels of a substance called
cyclic AMP (adenosine monophosphate) increased by more than 100%. They also
found that in the presence of aluminum in a concentration as small as 20 parts
per billion, fluoride is able to cause an even larger increase in cyclic AMP
levels. Cyclic AMP inhibits the migration rate of white blood cells, as well as
the ability of the white blood cell to destroy pathogenic organisms. Ref:
Journal of Dental Research, Vol 55, Sup B, p523, 1976, "Effect of Inorganic
Fluoride Salts on Urine and Tissue Cyclic AMP Concentration in Vivo". (Note:
Toothpaste tubes containing fluoride at this time were often made of
aluminum.)
1977The Congressional Subcommitee on
Intergovernmental Relations convenes two (2) full Congressional Hearings on the
subject of fluorides in . During the hearing, it was proven that:
1.
The "scientific efforts" of those promoting fluoridation were fraudulent,
2. Existing studies proved beyond a doubt that approximately 10,000
excess cancer
deaths
per year could be attributed to fluoridation in the US.
Many pharmaceuticals are fluorinated.
Trace
amounts are incorporated in bone.
During
the Congressional Hearings Dr.Yiamouyiannis and Dr. Burk report an increase in
deaths
due to water fluoridation. At the conclusion of the hearings Congressional
representative L.H. Fountain, chairman of the 1977 Sub-Committee Hearings on
Fluoride, states that "the carcinogenic nature of fluoride remains unanswered"
and orders the US Public Health Service "to conduct animal studies to see if
fluoride causes cancer". Dr. Herman Kraybill, from the National Cancer
Institute (who in 1972 had been chosen by NCI to write a memo saying that
fluorides do not cause cancer) was placed in charge of these studies. Kraybill
boldly states, "this will be the final study to confirm negativity of fluoride
ions in carcinogenesis." He cites 13 studies having nothing to do with the
subject of fluorides and cancer in order to support his claim that "no link
between fluorides and cancer existed." (NCI Director Dr. Arthur Upton later
admitted the 13 studies had nothing to do with the subject of the
study).
1978 The German magazine Stern
reports on the Turkish village of
Kizilcaoern, where the drinking water contains 5ppm fluorides. All of the
children have brown teeth. Women produce dead babies after only four months of
pregnancy. All the inhabitants suffer from tremendous premature aging. The same
fluoride-related brittle-bone disorders have been observed among people
drinking water with as little as 0.7 ppm fluoride.
A court case is won
in Pennsylvania that proved fluoridation was harmful and resulted in a
ban.
1979 The January 20th, 1979 edition of the
New York Times carries a story in which
a child was killed because of a lethal dose of fluoride at a city dental
clinic.
Dr. W.L. Gabler and Dr. P.A. Long at the University of Oregon
Health Sciences Center find that as little as 0.2 ppm fluoride in the body
stimulates superoxide production in white blood cells seriously depressing the
ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents. Superoxide in the
bloodstream also gives rise to tissue damage and acceleration of the aging
process. "Fluoride Inhibition of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes", Journal of
Dental Research, Vol 48, No.9, p1933-1939, 1979.
On November 11th, 1979
up to 50ppm fluoride was dumped into the Annapolis Maryland water supply,
resulting in the poisoning of 50,000 people. Many died of
heart failure during the week
following the incorrect dosage.
1981 Drs.
Susheela and Sharma and co-workers from the India Institute of Medical Sciences
find that fluoride exposure disrupts the synthesis of collagen in the body and
leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle, skin cartilage,
lung, kidney and trachea . Fluoride disrupts collagen synthesis in cells
responsible for laying down collagen leading these cells to attempt to
compensate for their inability to put out intact collagen by producing larger
quantities of imperfect collagen and/or non-collagenous protein. "Fluoride
poisoning and the Effects of Collagen Biosynthesis of Osseous and Non-osseous
Tissue", Toxicological European Research, Vol 3, No.2, pp99-104,
1981.
Dr. Robert Clark from the Boston University Medical Center shows
that fluorides (as in fluoridated water supplies, toothpaste,etc) stimulate
granule formation and oxygen consumption in white blood cells when they were
not challenged with a foreign agent, but inhibited these processes when the
white blood cell needed them to fight off foreign agents. "Neutrophil
Iodination Reaction Induced by Fluoride: Implications for Degranulation and
Metabolic Activation" Blood, Vol 57, pp913-921, 1981.
1982 Peter Wilkinson at the University of Glascow testified
before the Scottish High Court in Edinburgh in a legal case labeled "Inhibition
of the Immune System with Low levels of Fluoride" that fluoride decreases the
migration rate of human white blood cells. At a concentration of .2ppm (.8ppm
below the "approved" level of 1 ppm), relative white cell migration rate is
reduced 8%. A concentration of 1ppm would produce a physiological decline of
around 10%. Fluoride added to water supplies, tooth paste, school dental
washes, supplement pills and dentists visits - increasingly promoted -
contribute to a further co-factor in the decline of the immune capability of
the population.
1983 A symposium takes place at
the University of Michigan after years of planning between the US Dept of
Health and Human Services, the USPHS Michigan state health plans, the Kellogg
Foundation, and Medical Products Labs. The purpose is to "discuss the status of
organized opposition to fluoridation, to analyze probable motives influencing
the anti-fluoride movement, to develop political and legal strategies for the
defense and promotion of fluoridation, and to assess the need for a national
fluoridation strategy."
Zhang and Zhang publish a study which shows that
fluorides cause birth defects in fish.
1984 Clinical Toxicology of Commercial
Products indicates that 1/10 oz of fluoride in the human body is lethal for a
100 pound adult human. Fluoride toothpaste contains up to 1mg/gram of fluoride.
A whole tube contains about 199 mg of fluoride - enough to kill a 25-pound
child. Toothbrushing with fluoride laced toothpaste causes ingestion of 0.25
mg/day.
Dr. Takeki Tsutsui of the Nippon Dental College shows in 1984
that "fluoride caused not only genetic damage but was also capable of
transforming normal human cells into cancer cells." In Dr.Tsutsui's study, the
level of fluoride used was the same level that the US National Cancer
Institute suggested should be used in a study to determine whether
fluoridation of public water supplies causes cancer. The level of fluoride
deemed "safe" by the United States in 1 ppm. The researchers found that cells
treated with 1 ppm of fluoride in the water produced cancer.
1986 The Rocky Mountain Poison Control Center reports 87 cases
of fluoride poisoning. Two cases involved fluoride treatment by a dentist. One
13 month old child died. Twenty five suffered gastrointestinal symptoms. Sodium
fluoride becomes the most frequent single cause of acute poisoning in
children.
1989 Dr.Yiamouyiannis uses the Freedom
of Information Act to obtain carcinogenicity studies conducted by Proctor and
Gamble (fluoridated toothpaste). These studies showed dose dependent cell
abnormalities caused by fluoride; confirmed the link between oral precancerous
growth and fluoride, as well as an increase in osteomas (bone tumors) and
osteosarcomas (bone cancer); and the National Cancer Institute found in 1991
that the incidence of bone cancer was 50% higher in men ages 0-19 years of age
exposed to fluoridated water compared to those who were not. February 22, 1990,
Medical Tribune
A study by Hildebolt, et al. on 6,000 school children
contradicts any alleged benefit from the use of sodium fluorides.
On
February 23, 1989, Battelle released the results of its study of fluorides on
mice: fluoride induced the occurrence of an extremely rare form of liver
cancer, called hepatocholangio carcinoma, in fluoride-treated male and female
mice.
On April of 1989, Battelle released the results of its study of
fluorides and rats. The study showed a dose-dependent relationship between the
incidence of oral cancerous tumors and fluorides. The National Cancer Institute
examines the incidence of oral cancer in fluoridated and non-fluoridated
countries over the period from 1973 to 1987 and fings that as exposure to
fluoridation increases, so does the incidence of oral cancer; sometimes as much
as a 50% increase in oral cancer rates occur in fluoridated areas. This
translates to 8,000 new cases of oral and pharyngeal cancer per year, needless
pain and suffering and a financial windfall to the medical and pharmaceutical
factions that concern themselves with treatment.
1990 The National Toxicology Program issues a Press Release
with data confirming findings of a link between fluoride and osteosarcomas as
well as higher rates of oral cancer in rats.
"Jon Roth, executive director of the California
Dental Assn. Foundation, said: "The science is crystal clear. The
unfortunate thing is there are still folks out there who do a good job of
cherry-picking the scientific information. ... I don't know where the
motivation comes from. I just don't get it." Roth needs to examine a 2006
report by the US National Research Council, "Fluoride in Drinking
Water: A Scientific Review of EPA's Standards." It concluded that the
maximum level of fluoride in drinking water of 4 milligrams per liter should be
lowered. The report examines dental effects, musculoskeletal effects, bone
fractures, reproductive and developmental effects, neurotoxicity, endocrine
effects, carcinogenicity, as well as drinking water standards and other public
health issues, and offers a detailed list of research needed to fill in the
gaps in information about fluoride. Although the report does not take a stand
against fluoridation of drinking water, it notes that it is dangerous for
people with kidney
problems. China, Japan and many European countries have rejected, banned or
discontinued water fluoridation. This issue should be taken seriously." - Nancy
Barth March 24,
2006 National Academy of Sciences questioned the safety of
fluoridated drinking water. Fluorides
have the ability to lower IQ, cause bone fractures and cause dental fluorosis,
a discoloration and weakening of tooth enamel.
The National Academy of
Sciences panel noted that dental fluorosis has been "strongly associated"
with IQ deficits.
The National Academy of Sciences is
calling upon the EPA to review and tighten is standards for
fluoride in drinking water. According to the Environmental Working
Group, fluoride levels in the tap water of 25 of the nation's 28 largest
cities is enough to put 8% to 36% of bottle-fed infants up to 6 months of age
over the recommended safe dose for daily fluoride intake.
The
Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences recommended a
limit of 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per day for children under age 6 months -
but this has not been adopted by the EPA.
According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently one-third
(33%) of children aged 12 to 15 years in America have mild to mild forms of
enamel fluorosis. A recent study has raised the possibility that fluoride
exposure during the first year of life may play a more important role on
fluorosis development than was previously understood. It now appears that the
amount of the fluoride contained in the water used for mixing infant formula
may influence a child's risk for developing enamel fluorosis, particularly if
the child's sole source of nutrition is from reconstituted infant
formula. |

American social mores and values have
declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
