Good Hard Hitting Australian Letter
Fluoride isnt the answer
LEO J. Burkes observations (The Border Mail, September 21) of the supposed efficacy of Aucklands fluoridated water is at odds with those of Aucklands former principal dental officer, Dr John Colquhoun, who played a major role in having Aucklands water supply fluoridated. See www.fluoride-journal.com/|98-31-2/312103.htm: “The evidence that changed my mind about water fluoridation” by John Colquhoun, former advocate.
Fluoridated Perth has a massive dental problem with “Toddlers as young as one year having general anaesthetics to remove or crown rotten teeth with about 20 children a week being given a general anaesthetic for extensive reconstructive dentistry and a further seven for extractions.” (The West Australian, June 26, 2004)
Further, boys exposed to fluoride in tap water during their 6th, 7th and 8th years have been found to have a 7.2-fold increase in developing the often-fatal bone cancer osteosarcoma during their teenage years. Harvards Prof Chester Douglass (chairman of the Department of Oral Health Policy and Epidemiology at the School of Dental Medicine) is presently under investigation for suppressing these findings. Prof Douglass also works for Colgate During animal studies, radiation is the only other substance found to cause osteosarcoma. Adding a poisonous, carcinogenic substance to the water supply is not an antidote for a poor diet and a lack of dental hygiene. AILSA BOYDEN,
