Study justifies fluoride worry
SINCE 1990 five major epidemiological studies from three countries, US, Britain and France, showed a higher rate of hip fractures in fluoridated regions than unfluoridated regions.
The University of Yorks Fluoridation Review estimates that up to 48 per cent of children in fluoridated areas have some form of dental fluorosis. To reduce this to the original target of 10 per cent of the population with so-called “mild” dental fluorosis, we would have to terminate fluoridation. It affects me also being a diabetic. Bottle fed babies will have four to six times more than recommended by medical authorities for fluoride supplementation.
