To the editor:
According to The Douglass Report (www.douglassreport.com), the idea that fluoridated water prevents tooth decay is a deadly, disgraceful lie.
First of all, the opposite is true. One of the last cities in Europe just stopped using it — Basel, Switzerland. Why?
According to Dr. William Campell Douglass, after they started fluoridating, kids’ cavity rates didn’t go down. By contrast, rates in the rest of fluoride-free Europe did decline.
So why did anyone fluoridate in the first place?
Follow the money.
Fluoride is a byproduct of aluminum production. And aluminum producers must dispose of it. But this is a very expensive proposition prior to fluoridation. Years ago, the only approved uses for fluoride were as an insecticide or a rat poison. And one of the first studies “proving” the anti-cavity power of fluoridated water was funded by the aluminum industry, Douglass states.

People who warned against fluoridation used to be ridiculed, in fact all of Europe and nearly every other medically advanced nation, but they have now banned the practice. Know why?

Douglass said that is because fluoride makes your body absorb extra aluminum. And where does the aluminum go? Your brain. And what metal shows up alarmingly in the brains of Alzheimer’s victims? You guessed it. Hmm ... our health authorities have been drinking too much water.
