FLUORIDE: THE NASTY SURPRISE LURKING IN YOUR TAP WATER Battle to remove deadly toxin from water supplies continues to rage Fluoride: The Nasty Surprise Lurking in Your Tap Water Image Credits: armaggeusa, Flickr Despite the dangers of sodium fluoride being exhaustively documented for years, the battle to prevent the substance from being artificially added to tap water continues to rage across America. Christopher Bryson’s widely acclaimed book The Fluoride Deception includes dozens of peer-reviewed studies showing that sodium fluoride is a deadly neurotoxin that attacks the central nervous system and leads to a multitude of serious health problems. This fact has been covered up by a collusion of government and industry who have reaped financial windfalls while illegally mass medicating the public against their will. Perhaps the most notable study was conducted by Dr. Phyllis Mullenix Ph.D., a highly respected pharmacologist and toxicologist, who in a 1995 Forsyth Research Institute study found that rats who had fluoride added to their diet exhibited abnormal behavioral traits. A 2008 Scientific American report concluded that scientific attitudes toward fluoridation may be starting to shift as new evidence emerged of the poison’s link to disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland, as well as lowering IQ. Today almost 60 percent of the U.S. population drinks fluoridated water, including residents of 46 of the nation’s 50 largest cities, reported Scientific American’s Dan Fagin, an award-wining environmental reporter and Director of New York University’s Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program. The Scientific American study concluded that fluoride can subtly alter endocrine function, especially in the thyroid – the gland that produces hormones regulating growth and metabolism. The report also notes that a series of epidemiological studies in China have associated high fluoride exposures with lower IQ. Epidemiological studies and tests on lab animals suggest that high fluoride exposure increases the risk of bone fracture, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and diabetics, writes Fagin. Fagin interviewed Steven Levy, director of the Iowa Fluoride Study which tracked about 700 Iowa children for sixteen years. Nine-year-old Iowa children who lived in communities where the water was fluoridated were 50 percent more likely to have mild fluorosis than [nine-year-old] children living in nonfluoridated areas of the state, writes Fagin. The study adds to a growing literature of shocking scientific studies proving fluoride’s link with all manner of health defects, even as governments in the west make plans to mass medicate the population against their will with this deadly toxin. Most Americans already drink artificially fluoridated water. In 2005, a study conducted at the Harvard School of Dental Health found that fluoride in tap water directly contributes to causing bone cancer in young boys. The research suggests that boys exposed to fluoride between the ages of five and 10 will suffer an increased rate of osteosarcoma – bone cancer – between the ages of 10 and 19, according to a London Observer article about the study. Based on the findings of the study, the respected Environmental Working Group lobbied to have fluoride in tap water be added to the US government’s classified list of substances known or anticipated to cause cancer in humans. Cancer rates in the U.S. have skyrocketed with one in three people now contracting the disease at some stage in their life. The link to bone cancer has also been discovered by other scientists, but a controversy ensued after it emerged that Harvard Professor Chester Douglass, who downplayed the connection in his final report, was in fact editor-in-chief of The Colgate Oral Health Report, a quarterly newsletter funded by Colgate-Palmolive Co., which makes fluoridated toothpaste. An August 2006 Chinese study found that fluoride in drinking water damages children’s liver and kidney functions. Sodium fluoride is a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972. In addition, toothpaste manufacturers are required by law to include the following text on their products, “If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately.” FACTS ABOUT FLUORIDE - Fluoride is a waste by-product of the fertilizer and aluminum industry and it is also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972. - Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride). - USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress in the 1950′s that in his post as U.S.-Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient. - The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany’s Nazi prison camps. The Nazis had little concern about fluoride’s supposed effect on children’s teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in their concentration camps into calm submission. (Ref. book: The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben by Joseph Borkin.) - 97% of western Europe has rejected fluoridated water due to the known health risks, however 10% of Britons drink it and the UK government is trying to fast track the fluoridation of the entire country’s water supply. - In Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg fluoridation of water was rejected because it was classified as compulsive medication against the subject’s will and therefore violated fundamental human rights. - In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water. - Sources of fluoride include: fluoride dental products, fluoride pesticides, fluoridated pharmaceuticals, processed foods made with fluoridated water, and tea.
