Visible results of fluoridation?
Thank you for another great article,Jon Brodkin ("Study: too much fluoride in water dangerous," March 23).
As for MWRA and EPA consideration, they might start to thinkliability. Should a young person get osteosarcoma, one Texas law firm is already advertising to develop a class action suit.
Having worked against fluoridation for nineteen years, I can't help thinkingpain. I see the results everyday at the supermarket with the elders and now midlife folks hobbling from a lifetime of this poison. Who hasn't had low back pain, the first symptom? I see obesity and the 50 million people with sub-normal thyroid. Young people in sports have more injuries than they should. Autism in boys isn't all a mystery nor midlife depression in women. Can't sleep? Check out fluoride in the pinealocytes of the pineal gland. Much more is not so obvious and more seriously ravaging to health. Here the comparison to cigarette smoking is appropriate. Fluoride is worse because the government (The Center for Disease Control, CDC) has always been involved activelypromoting fluoridation. The latest study by Levy of the National Dental Research Institute tells us that fluoridation provides no significant difference in tooth decay numbers. Like cigarettes, I hope the love affair with fluoride will fall away quickly. It has been a costly mistake and neither safe nor effective. Now that the National Academy of Science Study is out, perhaps mothers will be more discerning and less emotional about another fallen idol. Pediatricians must take notice.
