Fluoridation Ineffective & Harmful, studies show
Over 2,100 professionals urge the US Congress to stop water fluoridation until Congressional hearings are conducted, citing scientific evidence that fluoridation, long promoted to fight tooth decay, is ineffective and has serious health risks. See statement: http://www.fluorideaction.org/statement.august.2007.html.
This election day, 53 US cities rejected fluoridation joining a growing list of communities saying 'No,' to fluoridation.
-- The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, Canadas leading voice on environmental health issues, released a statement opposing fluoridation.
-- The National Kidney Foundation dropped its fluoridation support replacing it with this caution: Individuals with CKD [Chronic Kidney Disease] should be notified of the potential risk of fluoride exposure.
-- Researchers reporting in the Oct 6 2007 British Medical Journal indicate that fluoridation never was proven safe or effective and may be unethical.
-- A qualitative review of ...studies found a consistent and strong association between the exposure to fluoride and low IQ, concluded Tang el al., in 'Fluoride and Childrens Intelligence: A Meta-analysis in Biological Trace Element Research (e-published 8/10/08)
-- Scientific American editors wrote in January 2008, 'Some recent studies suggest that over-consumption of fluoride can raise the risks of disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland'
-- A study in the Fall 2008 Journal of Public Health Dentistry reveals that cavity-free teeth have little to do with fluoride intake. Researchers report, 'The benefits of fluoride are mostly topicalwhile fluorosis is clearly more dependent on fluoride intake.'
A Tennessee State legislator who is also an MD is urging all Tennessee Water Districts to stop fluoridation, reported a Tennessee newspaper on 11/29/08. At least 30 Tennessee water districts have already complied with his request.
On 1/5/09, the Burlington Board of Health recommended that Burlington cease fluoridation because fluoridation can harm some people.
On 1/6/09, a Canadian town, Drayton, stopped fluoridation, not to save money, but because it was in the best interests of residents, said the Mayor.
On 2/10/2009 Skagit County, WA officials reversed their 2007 fluoridation decision
Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, Dr. Arvid Carlsson, says, Fluoridation is against all principles of modern pharmacology. It's really obsolete.
Fluoride jeopardizes health - even at low levels deliberately added to public water supplies, according to data presented in a 2006 National Academy of Sciences' (NAS) National Research Council (NRC) report. Fluoride poses risks to the thyroid gland, diabetics, kidney patients, high water drinkers and others and can severely damage children's teeth. At least three panel members advise avoiding fluoridated water.
