SUMMARY OF MAJOR HEALTH RISK FACTORS
(Excerpts from published Peer Reviewed Tests)
Fluoride facts
Fluoride is more toxic than lead, even in minute doses, accumulates in and is
damaging to brain/mind development of children, i.e. produces abnormal behavior
in animals and in humans.
Fluoridation is Cancer causing. Dr. William Marcus, senior science
advisor at Office of Drinking Water / Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) -
Washington, D.C. stated unequivocally in his May Day memo
that fluoride is a carcinogen. Full text of memo available at
800-728-3833.
Numerous studies, including four published in Journal of American Medical
Association since 1990, have found that hip fracture rates are substantially
higher in people residing in fluoridated habitats.
Dental fluorosis, the first visible sign of fluoride poisoning, affects from 8%
to 51% of children drinking fluoridated water. Dental fluorosis is more than
cosmetic harm, its psychological harm. It's indicative of neurological
impairment.
All the recent large scale studies on fluoridation and tooth decay show that
fluoridation does
not reduce tooth decay. Studies from New Zealand, Canada, Europe, and the USA
have confirmed no difference in decay rates for permanent teeth of habitants
of fluoridated vs. non-fluoridated communities.
Fluoride drops and tablets are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
administration as safe and effective. Ingested fluoride has no detectable effect
on decay rates. Fluoride tablets and drops have been shown to be ineffective in
reducing tooth decay and to cause skin eruptions, gastric distress, headaches,
weakness - which disappears when fluoride use is discontinued - as well as
dental fluorosis, a permanent disfigurement.
Fluoride causes iodine deficiency, which can result in hypothyroidism and
frequently to hyperthyroidism. During pregnancy, when iodine requirements are at
their peak, the fetus is especially vulnerable. Even a slightly
under-functioning thyroid gland can result in loss of IQ in the newborn.
Japan and 98% of Europe have rejected the addition of
fluoride to their public water supplies.
Santa Cruz, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Escondido and over 70 other
California cities have rejected water fluoridation.
The UNION which consists of and represents ALL Biologists,
Chemists, Toxicologists, and Engineers at the EPA
headquarters in Washington, D.C., voted unanimously to take a stand against
fluoridation.
Carbon and most Home water filters will not remove
fluoride ! Only Reverse Osmosis (RO) Units or Distillation have been shown
to remove Fluoride Ion.
Over 50 years of fluoridation statistics show NO
significant decrease in tooth decay from ingested fluoride !
Let's STOP this Insanity for Fluoridation NOW !
