Canada - Happy redneck
Happy redneck
Calgary Herald January 30, 2011 Re: "Disillusioned," Letter, Jan. 28.
Evidently, anyone stupid enough to disagree with Dan Brown's position on fluoride is a redneck and "ultraright."
Really, who else would be foolish enough to question the validity of mass dosing an entire population with a substance that is falling under increasing scrutiny? After all, we've been doing it for years.
Particularly astonishing is that Brown cites a "disregard for medical and scientific advice of qualified experts" when no such evidence exists. A growing body of evidence and significant study point to questionable results, and directly related harmful effects, including possible links to cancer, bone damage and hypothyroidism. Even the possibility of risk, using any definition of common sense, would demand fluoride's removal from the water supply.
Unlike Brown, I will happily maintain an open mind and support fluoridation if he can provide valid scientific proof of its effectiveness and that it does not cause any harm to the human body. Since that evidence does not exist, I'll maintain my "redneck" stance against it, thank you.
