Are You Drinking Toxic Tap Water

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20188782?itool=Email.EmailReport.Pubmed_Re...

Fluoride in water is a government sponsored hazardous waste disposal program.

Fluoridation is unethical because:
•It violates the individual's right to informed consent to medication.
•The municipality cannot control the dose of the patient.
•The municipality cannot track each individual's response.
•It ignores the fact that some people are more vulnerable to fluoride's toxic effects than others. Some people will suffer while others may benefit.
•It violates the Nuremberg code for human experimentation.

As stated by the recent recipient of the Nobel Prize for Medicine (2000), Dr. Arvid Carlsson:
"I am quite convinced that water fluoridation, in a not-too-distant future, will be consigned to medical history..
"No physician in his right senses would prescribe for a person he has never met, whose medical history he does not know, a substance which is intended to create bodily change, with the advice: 'Take as much as you like, but you will take it for the rest of your life because some children suffer from tooth decay. ' It is a preposterous notion."

Fluoridation is unnecessary because:
•Children can have perfectly good teeth without being exposed to fluoride.
•The promoters (CDC, 1999, 2001) admit that the benefits are topical not systemic, so fluoridated toothpaste, which is universally available, is a more rational approach to delivering fluoride to the target organ (teeth) while minimizing exposure to the rest of the body.
•The vast majority of western Europe has rejected water fluoridation, but has been equally successful as the U.S., if not more so, in tackling tooth decay.
•If fluoride was necessary for strong teeth one would expect to find it in breast milk, but the level there is 0.01 ppm, which is 100 times LESS than in fluoridated tap water (IOM, 1997).
•Children in non-fluoridated communities are already getting the so-called "optimal" doses from other sources (Heller et al, 1997). In fact, many are already being over-exposed to fluoride.
Fluoridation is ineffective because:
•Major dental researchers concede that fluoride is ineffective at preventing pit and fissure tooth decay, which is 85 percent of the tooth decay experienced by children (JADA 1984; Gray 1987; White 1993; Pinkham 1999).
•Several studies indicate that dental decay is coming down just as fast, if not faster, in non-fluoridated industrialized countries as fluoridated ones (Diesendorf, 1986; Colquhoun, 1994; World Health Organization, Online).
•The largest survey conducted in the U.S. showed only a minute difference in tooth decay between children who had lived all their lives in fluoridated compared to non-fluoridated communities. The difference was not clinically significant nor shown to be statistically significant (Brunelle & Carlos, 1990).
•The worst tooth decay in the U.S. occurs in the poor neighborhoods of our largest cities, the vast majority of which have been fluoridated for decades.
•When fluoridation has been halted in communities in Finland, former East Germany, Cuba and Canada, tooth decay did not go up but continued to go down (Maupome et al, 2001; Kunzel and Fischer, 1997, 2000; Kunzel et al, 2000 and Seppa et al, 2000).
Fluoridation is unsafe because:
•It accumulates in our bones and makes them more brittle and prone to fracture. The weight of evidence from animal studies, clinical studies and epidemiological studies on this is overwhelming. Lifetime exposure to fluoride will contribute to higher rates of hip fracture in the elderly.
•It accumulates in our pineal gland, possibly lowering the production of melatonin, a very important regulatory hormone (Luke, 1997, 2001).
•It damages the enamel (dental fluorosis) of a high percentage of children. Between 30 percent and 50 percent of children have dental fluorosis on at least two teeth in optimally fluoridated communities (Heller et al, 1997 and McDonagh et al, 2000).
•There are serious, but yet unproven, concerns about a connection between fluoridation and osteosarcoma in young men (Cohn, 1992), as well as fluoridation and the current epidemics of both arthritis and hypothyroidism.
•In animal studies fluoride at 1 ppm in drinking water increases the uptake of aluminum into the brain (Varner et al, 1998).
•Counties with 3 ppm or more of fluoride in their water have lower fertility rates (Freni, 1994).
•In human studies the fluoridating agents most commonly used in the U.S. not only increase the uptake of lead into children's blood (Masters and Coplan, 1999, 2000) but are also associated with an increase in violent behavior.
•The margin of safety between the so-called therapeutic benefit of reducing dental decay and many of these end points is either nonexistent or precariously low.

@TheNdoki

I worked for Big Pharma - I know how *studies* are bought and paid for. There are no CLINICAL studies, (keyword clinical), just peer reviewed papers which please industry & politics. However, if one chooses to go to Fluoride Alert DOT org and do a search "clinical trials" - they'll get the truth.

[TheNdoki]

@DianeDi I don't know if my previous comment went through, but do you even bother reading my posts before commenting on them? Every place I listed earlier did clinical, documented studies and found it to be safe. If you're going to make wild accusations, at least do some research first. I found all those in just a few minutes, why can't you?

Also, refusing to listen to information when it's readily available is the definition of ignorance. Just saying.

[TheNdoki]

The National Health and Medical Research Council (Australia), NHS Center for Reviews and Dissemination, University of York, Dental Public Health Unit, University of Leicester, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, the WHO, CDC, Health Canada, the Journal of the American Dental Association, and many other scientific dental groups all have studied it and found it to be safe. If you want to ignore science then so be it.

[DianeDi]

@TheNdoki ANYONE can say it is safe.... my point is there are NO clinical studies ever conducted.

EVER EVER EVER - AND YOU KNOW IT

[TheNdoki]

@DianeDi Another false assumption. In just a few minutes I found: National Health and Medical Research Council (Australia), NHS Center for Reviews and Dissemination, University of York, Dental Public Health Unit, University of Leicester, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, the WHO, CDC, Health Canada, the JADA, and many other scientific dental groups, just to name a few. So what scientific studies do you have that prove otherwise?

[DianeDi]

@TheNdoki You can NOT find one scientific study that PROVES fluoride in our water is safe - BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY ! Like I said watch FLUORIDE: The Bizarre History and then talk to me. I'm not wasting any more time with you - either you have other interests that support these industries or you've truly been sucking on that tube of toothpaste full time!

[TheNdoki]

@DianeDi Pediatritians say you shouldn't give babies egg whites, peanut butter, shellfish, crustaceans and citrus, so should they be banned for being poisonous too? The problem with ANY vitamin, is dosage amounts. This is why babies and children have their own multivitamins, instead of just taking adult ones. This is why the CDC (the same people who have proven fluoride is safe in the right amounts) say babies shouldn't have it. You should look this stuff up before coming to wild conclusions.

[TheNdoki]

@DianeDi Actually, you were comparing water fluoridation to rat poison "thats whats in most RAT POISON" and yes, there is a difference. They are two different chemicals. Breastmilk is only "perfect" for developing babies. Of course breastmilk doesn't contain fluoride, babies don't have teeth! They don't need it yet! And the CDC says to limit fluoride for babies because a) they don't need it and b) small amounts are too much because of their lower body mass, not because it's poison.

@DianeDi If I were you , I would just Block Him

Aspartame is a Artificial SWEET added in different names, its a NEURO-TOXIn in our BRAINS like Fluoride

NeuroToxin in our BRAINS means we are DRUGGED & we do not know it.

Clean out BRAIN take MAGNESIUM with AMINO ACID see SCIENTIST georgeeby film it also Helps BREAK ADDICTION to SWEETS & ALCOHOL etc
