More scientific evidence against water fluoridation

More scientific evidence against water fluoridation
Whether you are for or against artificial water fluoridation, last month’s Muskoka district council decision has been to continue adding fluoride to municipal water, despite overwhelming recent scientific evidence that fluoride’s active compound has detrimental impacts on the organs, bone tissue and glands.
The following is a list of comments/quotes on fluoridation:
“Parents should know that fluoride is an extremely active chemical when it gets into our body. It can interfere with the Pineal Gland. It can interfere with the Thyroid Gland ... intimately involved with brain development, mental development.” (Source: Dr. P. Connett, PhD, Environmental Chemist)
Parents should be aware that “infants who ingest high amounts of fluoride can be at risk of dental fluorosis ... and that infant foods and juices can contain very high levels of fluoride and this should be considered when determining total fluoride intake.” (JADA)
Parents that use fluoridated drinking water to reconstitute infant formula should be “cognizant of the potential risks (of) enamel fluorosis development.” (Statement from the American Dental Association, 2011)
“A real concern with children, especially newborn infants, is that the blood/brain barrier is not fully developed and children are getting an inappropriate dose of fluoride in the developing brain, as seen in the depression of IQ in fluoridated communities.” (Source: Dr. William Hirzy, vice-president, EPA Union)
“The level of fluoride in mother’s milk is so extremely low, .004 ppm, which is 250 times less than we put in the drinking water.” (Source: Dr. P. Connett, PhD, Environmental Chemist)
“Nature has devised a system for keeping fluoride away from the infant and we’re circumventing that ... and there are consequences.” (Dr. V. Howard, Fetal Patho-Toxicologist)
“Low-income families cannot afford to avoid fluoridated water and could be at higher risk for adverse effects from fluoride exposure.” (Dr. Thiessen, PhD, Risk Assessment Scientist)
“We have tripled our exposure to fluoride since fluoridation was conceived in the 1940s and research shows we’re getting 300 per cent or more of the American Dental Association’s recommended daily amount.” (Dr. Limeback, B.Sc., PhD, DDS, Head of Dentistry, University of Toronto)
“Water fluoridation is the dispensing of a drug. Who’s responsible? Who’s the doctor making sure we’re not getting too much?” (Dr. Bill Osmunson, DDS, MPH)
“I think there is every reason to be concerned that today fluoride is one of the factors contributing to the epidemic of arthritis in this country. According to the CDC, 1 in 3 persons has some form of arthritis.” (Dr. Paul Connett, PhD, Environmental Chemist)

We are only among five per cent of the world population that fluoridates. Until recently, no studies had been carried out on fluoride’s long-term effects on human organ systems other than teeth. Over 2,000 top medical doctors, scientists, dentists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, fetal patho-toxicologists and environmental professionals are calling for an end to artificial water fluoridation worldwide.
Fourteen of these professionals, featuring a Nobel Laureate in Medicine, express their concerns in the online video “Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation” which premiered July 2, 2009. This is a must-see for anyone for or against artificial water fluoridation.
