Argument against Aussie posted (not mine)
We wonder if Jason Armfield had his "arm twisted" to write that glowing fluoridation article Other researchers criticizing fluoride or fluoridation have lost their research money and or laboratories. Armfield's own research shows similar cavity rates in ten to fifteen-year-olds' permanent teeth whether they drink fluoridated water or not and was reported, August, 2004 by the New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation (NYSCOF). (1)
Armfield confirms his findings in another news release issued by California pro-fluoridation dentists intending to debunk NYSCOF's release; but, in fact, bolstering it where Armfield is quoted as saying "Their (NYSCOF's) news release accurately states that we found no significant effect of fluoridated water on the permanent caries experience among 10- to 15-year-olds." (2) Many other studies confirm Armfield's non-effect findings.
Armfield praises dentist Michael Easley a pro-fluoridation activist who's professional life is closely linked with fluoridation promotion. Yet, Easley appears to be losing credibiliity even among his pro-fluoridation colleagues. He has had several different jobs in different universities in different states across the U.S. in recent years and was once fluoridation spokesperson for the American Dental Association; but no longer is. Easley, who likes to call himself the #1 enemy of anti-fluoridationists, is handily deconstructed by The Fluoride Action Network FluoridealertEasleyIf Armfield is getting his fluoridation information from Easley, you should have grave doubts about it's scientific credibility. The truth is that doubt is growing about fluoridation's safety and effectiveness. The recent arrow piercing it's infallibility armor is a study which shows that water fluoridation chemicals leach lead from home plumbing systems. (3) You must use your common sense. How can fluoridation be as perfect as the fluoridationists claim it is. Fluoride should be left to prescribe in the physician's or dentist's office not via the water supply. No drug is safe for everyone. Despite what you've been told fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential to healthy teeth.
And when scientists resort to movie dialogue, e.g. Dr. Strangelove, you know their argument is extremely weak and that they are grasping at straws.
