Dentists Are Speaking Out Against Fluoridation
Date: 27/10/11
Keywords: Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's Disease, dental-decay, Dental Plaque and Gum Disease, environmental-health, fluoride, Oral Health
Few topics cause as much division as water fluoridation...
It's like marmite, you're either for it or against it.
Whichever it is, you can't ignore fluoride because it has
literally poisoned our tap water in numerous areas... I'm
sure you can tell which camp I fall into when it comes to
this contentious subject!

Whichever it is, you can't ignore fluoride because it has

this contentious subject!
Recently, I told you about the Health and Social Care Bill, which will pass the power of water fluoridation to local authorities, such as county or district councils. Since local authorities have to answer directly to the people who voted for them, the Health and Social Care Bill seems like a good idea because (on paper) it will allow residents to play a part in the decision-making process regarding water fluoridation...
However, we all know in reality this probably won't be the case.
Monster in the closet
Luckily, someone is on our side. See, if local councils act on their power to fluoridate the public water supplies, they can now also face claims for damages... The UK Councils Against Fluoridation (UKCAF), which represents 74 local councils that oppose fluoridation, has sent out a letter of warning to every council in the UK, pointing out the legal implications of their new powers.
If they decide to fluoridate the water supply, councils leave themselves open to claims for damages from parents if their children develop dental fluorosis — a common disfiguring condition caused by fluoride, which damages the enamel on teeth and leads to unsightly discolouration. Councils could also face criminal charges for promoting an unlicensed medicinal product, which the UKCAF regards fluoride in public water as being.
Of course, UKCAF are not the only ones who know the truth about fluoride... and trust me when I tell you, it doesn't stop at just being an unlicensed medicinal product... If you ask me, fluoride is nothing short of a poison that needs to be banned outright.
Dangerous to swallow
Back in 2007, the American Dental Association (ADA) first warned that infants younger than a year old should not consume baby formula that has been mixed with fluoridated water, due to concerns about dental fluorosis.
Now, the Journal of the American Dental Association has published a study that found increased fluorosis risk among infants who were fed infant formula reconstituted with fluoride-containing water. The researchers said that mild dental fluorosis can be reduced by avoiding the consumption of large quantities of fluoride... and these are dentists speaking who in the past have always been fluorides biggest advocates!
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) followed suit and warned that mixing powdered or liquid infant formula concentrate with fluoridated water on a regular basis may increase the chance of a child developing enamel fluorosis. Unfortunately, the CDC's warning is ambiguous because they also state that water fluoridation is safe — and dental fluorosis is only a "cosmetic" problem.
The last two statements are both untrue! (Of course, we can't expect the authorities to admit they were wrong and totally back-track on what they've been saying for decades!). The truth is, discolouration of the teeth can also be an indication that the rest of your body (including your bones and brain) has been exposed to too much of this poison.
For many years now, fluoride has been added to the drinking water in many parts of the UK, especially in Ireland, under the guise that it helps prevent dental decay.
There are still those who blindly believe it actually protects teeth. Yet, the results of the largest study ever conducted on fluoridation and oral health involving 39,000 school children in 84 areas around the US, showed no statistical difference in tooth decay rates between fluoridated and non-fluoridated cities.
Countless studies have shown that adding fluoride to drinking water has absolutely no health benefits at all and that this archaic practice does far more harm than good! The fact is that it's nothing short of being a chemical waste product!
The irony is that when you consume too much fluoride, your teeth can become discoloured and start crumbling. Tests have shown that fluoride enhances the brain's absorption of aluminium - the substance that's found in the brains of most Alzheimer's patients...
The list of fluoride's damaging effects just gets longer and longer, For example, it's been lionked too causing damage to the nervous system leading to limited joint mobility, ligament calcification, muscular degeneration, increased lead absorption, hyperactivity and/or lethargy, muscle disorders, brain damage and lowered IQ, arthritis, dementia, bone fractures, reduced thyroid function, bone cancer (osteosarcoma), disruption of the immune system, damaged sperm and increased infertility.
It saddens me that even though the ADA and the CDC have issued warnings about the use of fluoridated tap water to make infant formula, neither of them have openly informed the public about the risks and millions of parents will continue using tap water to make up formula, oblivious to its dangers!
The only real solution is to stop the archaic practice of water fluoridation! I highly recommend that you get a copy of Dr Connett's new book, The Case Against Fluoride, for more information on the bad science and political agendas that got this toxic chemical in our drinking water.
