Sin of omission’ endorsements and spin dished out over the years has created an ‘illusion,’ that fluoride chemicals added to our water supply are beneficial and safe.Here is reality of fluoridation, Tasmania (Australia) has been fluoridated for about 50 years and has one of the most intensive fluoridation schemes. Currently it has 41 fluoridation plants for nearly half a million people, is 83% fluoridated at 1.1ppm with Fluosilicic Acid and Sodium Fluoride, And yet: The president of the Australian Dental Association quoted in the Tasmanian Advocate 2001:“Tasmania is in a Dental crisis.”
A recent report released 17th Dec 2007 from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare stated: “The highest levels of permanent decay experience were found in Tasmania,”(Water Fluoridation & children’s dental health Survey Australia 2002 Armfield JM, Slade GD & Spencer AJ.
The following Submission to the Senate Select Committee on Medicare by ANGLICARE TASMANIA in July 2003, stated: “Tasmanian adults have the worst dental health in the nation with the highest percentage of edentulous (complete loss of natural teeth) adults per capita with 15.3% of the adult population, compared to the national average of 9.7%.The State also has the highest percentage of persons wearing a denture in the nation, with 11.2% in the 25 – 44 year category, which is almost double the national average.” Stated also in this report “Tasmania has had some of the worst health indicators in the nation,”
It appears we have been suckers and lab rats for along time, time for it to stop. Be active against fluoridation.
