Argus letter
Letter: Fluoride is bad
Thursday 10th Aug 2006.
Mr Cornwall claims "fluoride does not have any effect on the health of the body other than reducing decay in teeth" (Letters, July 3).
Clearly, anything ingested which affects teeth must also affect the bones. Excess fluoride attacks the bone structure, causing crippling skeletal fluorosis. At low levels, damage is evidenced by dental fluorosis - mottling and discolouration of teeth. Some less obvious skeletal effects are indistinguishable from arthritis.
Readers who would like to understand how fluoridation was instigated in the US and how professional organisations were persuaded to endorse it should read the results of a ten-year study by investigative journalist Christopher Bryson (The Fluoride Deception 2004) just reprinted as a paperback.
See evidence the practice is neither effective nor safe at www.fluorideaction.net/health The cancer link was proved as long ago as 1975, when studies by Burke and Yiamouyiannis showing approximately 10,000 excess cancer deaths could be attributed to fluoridation in the United States, were legally tested in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
Presiding Judge Flaherty was "compellingly convinced" by their evidence; his judgement (quoted in Yiamouyiannis's Fluoride, the Ageing Factor, 1983) called for a halt to fluoridation as a public health hazard.
