Fluoride has its dangers
REGARDING fluoridation plans for our area, I have done some research and the following items which have not been well publicised are items the residents of the North East should think seriously about.
Fluoride is a poison and over time builds up in the body. The president of Australian Dental Association said in 2001: “Tasmania is in a dental crisis”, where theyve had fluoridation for 50 years. Then in 2004, The West Australian quoted the chairman of the Australian Dental Association, saying that parents were lulled into false sense of security and their childrens “teeth were spoilt rotten”. Perth has had fluoridation for 37 years.
The Anti-fluoridation Association of Victoria says 10 per cent to 48 per cent of children in fluoridated areas suffer from mottled teeth. Research done by both the British Medical Research Council and the American Medical Association states that mottling is the first sign of chronic fluoride poisoning. Those associations tell us half of the fluoride we ingest from fluoridated water is retained. This retention is controlled by the kidney function and that control is detrimental to the kidneys condition.
Why should we, without discussion, be forced to take this risk?
