| calin (OP) User ID: 14023715 United States06/12/2013 12:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It cites eight recent events that call for an urgent end to water fluoridation. Among them: A 500-page review of fluoride’s toxicology by the National Research Council of the National Academies, published in 2006. Evidence from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that found 32 percent of U.S. children have dental fluorosis, which is caused by fluoride. The American Dental Association’s 2006 policy change, which recommends not giving fluoridated water to infants for the first 12 months of life. A Harvard University study that found a five- to seven-fold increased risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer) among young men who were exposed to fluoride between the ages of 6 and 8. The CDC’s recognition that fluoride is beneficial in reducing tooth decay when it’s applied topically, not taken systemically. ..............................

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23263980 United States06/12/2013 12:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good News!!! Quoting: calin A statement asking Congress to end water fluoridation in the United States has been released by the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). Over 600 professionals, including a Nobel Prize winner, officers in the Union that represents Environmental Protection Agency professionals, and members of the National Research Council panel on fluoride’s toxicology, have signed the statement. The report urges Congressional members to “recognize that fluoridation is outdated, has serious risks that far outweigh any minor benefits, violates sound medical ethics, and denies freedom of choice.” The statement calls for members of Congress to sponsor a new Congressional Hearing on Fluoridation that requires those who continue to support water fluoridation to provide scientific basis, under oath, for their continued recommendations. According to one of the statement’s signers, Dr. Arvid Carlsson, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Medicine, "Fluoridation is against all principles of modern pharmacology. It’s really obsolete."

The fact that so many of you think that a simple element is capable of so much is laughable. Clearly your credentials don't include a single damn chemistry class. In reality, fluoride is a dangerous poison that does not help to protect your teeth when you ingest it via your drinking water. As even the CDC has admitted, fluoride may help your teeth if it’s applied topically, but taking it in systemically does not. What it DOES do, as this much-needed statement points out, is: Increase your risk of bone fractures Decrease your thyroid function Lower your IQ Cause arthritic-like conditions and dental fluorosis Possibly increase your risk of bone cancer On top of that, the statement reveals that federal agencies have admitted that “the industrial grade waste products used to fluoridate over 90 percent of America’s drinking water supplies (fluorosilicate compounds) have never been subjected to toxicological testing or FDA safety-tested approval for human ingestion." ..............................

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 41374797 Um, we are not fluoridated with natural fluoride. It is a chemical compound that is a byproduct of an industrial process. Where do you suspect they're mining all this "natural substance", and at what cost to mine it? And then they add it to the water for FREE? Come on, use some deductive reasoning...or try Google. |

| pso User ID: 34276466 United States06/12/2013 01:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Look at the related threads at the bottom of the page. Same story from 2007, with 500 instead of 600 experts. I'm not too hopeful after seeing that. Quoting: Fret Wiz Maybe they said, "Come back when you get another hundred."? Seriously, 6 years later, 6 more years of dumbing down our last generation of anything left that might be smart enough, willing enough, paid enough, to be the problem solvers and care takers of our elderly, retirement years to death. It's the worst news I've read all day. Seriously :-( |
