Good Australian Letter
Fluoride case has 2 sides
IN response to Leo J. Burke, Chiltern, The Border Mail, Wednesday, September 21.
My daughter was raised in Wodonga since birth drinking non-fluoridated water; at the age of 25 she has perfect teeth and has never consumed fluoride tablets.
I dont dispute there are children and adults with dental problems and measures should be put in place to rectify this, however to fluoridate an entire communitys water supply with chemicals affects everyone regardless of age or health.
I recently spent several hours on the internet researching fluoridation taking into consideration the conspiracy theories and research conducted by scientific, medical, dental groups and the booklet recently distributed by the Department of Human Services, one article referred to “A Toxicological Profile” by the US Department of Human Services in April, 1993, which indicated that certain groups in the population may be susceptible to the toxic effects of fluoride.
The scientific, medical and dental community worldwide remains divided over the toxicity of fluoride, most people who oppose fluoridation do so out of a genuine concern over the possible effects of fluoride and its compounds on the human body.
On August 5 this year, the US Environmental Protection Agency scientists and unions petitioned Congress for a moratorium on drinking water fluoridation programs across the country pending recommendations from a national science research committee, which are due next year.
I urge readers, do your research, become fully informed, there will always be a difference of opinion; however the proponents of fluoridation are absolutely right about one thing: there is no real controversy about fluoridation when the facts are heard by an open mind.
