Harvard Professor: Hiding a Link to cancer from fluoride?

Fox 25 Boston
February 14, 2006
TRANSCRIPT:
REPORTER: Dr. Douglass insists that he's done nothing wrong. "You've got to admit, working for Colgate, it smells a little fishy."

DOUGLASS: I don't, I don't think so. I looked at, I looked at the 200 articles that we've written for them, only 12, only about 11 or 12 of them were on fluoride.

REPORTER: You wouldn't cover up something because you have a financial interest in Colgate?

DOUGLASS: No. There was never a chance to cover up anything. This report will speak directly to the issue of whether there's any evidence of trying to cover something up.

REPORTER: That report is from Harvard Medical School which is investigating the controversy. Dr. Douglass says the report is still in draft form and would not show it to us.

As for Dr. Bassin's thesis which showed a link between fluoridated water and cancer in boys?

DOUGLASS: She did a good job. She had a good group of people advising her and it's a nice analysis. There's nothing wrong with that analysis. The question is, it's a subgroup. Is it true when you look at the whole study? That's the question.

I mean, I brush my teeth with fluoridated toothpaste and use a flouridated rinse......why oh why must I now ingest in via drinking water?????

@followgood Yeah, your so right. I never really even thought about that. Even if you don't swallow it it's still being obsorbed. Hopefully more people will wake up.

@nedfrog you mouth absorbs what goes in it and flouride is very high in toothpaste....if you ever took homepathic medicine you would know..place the little pills under your tongue to dissolve and they go instantly into your system. So you are getting lots

[followgood]

@koolbossjock ...do not worry, all these pieces of shit will pay for the evil they have dealt onto man. For all the suffering they have caused human beings ( and that does not include them, for they are not ) they will feel much worse suffering for a long, long time (eternity) and it is coming sooner than expected...THE RAPTURE...enjoy it you sick evil pricks. God Bless all you Beautiful People!!

federal government, Harvard, Douglas all connected to the same people who are poisoning us...none are to be trusted

[givebirthathome]

Whoa, lack of context here..Fox doesn't mention that its not just a question of Bassin's new research, other research has indicated a connection for about 20 years. And one EPA scientist, William Marcus, got whistleblower protection, after he exposed a study whose data had been altered to cover-up the fluoride-cancer connection that was shown.

My Best Guess is i dont think we are going to see a asosiation. This Gay has written tons and tons of articles saying to people to drink poisen, and now he is guessing??!?
