The Root Cause of Dental Decay

Before industrialised Europeans arrived in the Pacific, the teeth and health of Pacific peoples were supreme.

This had been noted by many visitors to this area and photographs of isolated communities from around the world prompted a Canadian dentist to seek out these people as he observed a disturbing trend in his younger patients in his American practice. Apart from rampant tooth decay, crowding and crooked teeth, and jaw malformations, these skull “injuries” were accompanied by a general decline in the health of his younger patients when compared to the older generations.

The dentist, Dr Weston Price, visited 14 different populations across the globe during the 1930's and recorded his findings in his, still in print, epic book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.

Price visited New Zealand and examined 1,000 year old Maori skulls as well as live Maori - those living in urban areas, and those still living in rural areas, away from the trappings of “beneficial civilisation”, and in accordance to their traditional ways which included nutrient rich nutrition. He concluded that these Maori had the world’s best teeth.
Price's findings clearly demonstrated that it was the European’s refined and nutrient devoid diet that wrecked havoc, which continues today, on the dental and general health of some of the traditional Maori people and on the rest of the world's populations he visited.

Price found that people who avoided the Europeans refined foods such as white flour products, sugar, sugar containing foods and refined vegetable oils, which still today detrimentally affects the body’s biochemistry, exhibited fine dental and general health their ancestors enjoyed for centuries.

Therefore, to fluoridate drinking water supplies is yet again another ignorant and unsubstantiated approach for supposedly supporting health. The type of fluoride that has been used in New Zealand, and is still being used by a few remaining council’s, is hydrofluorosilicic acid which is actually a toxic industrial effluent.

Suggestions that New Zealand will become the laughing stock of other countries if we completely ban fluoridation ignore that most countries in the world do NOT fluoridate their water. The only countries with more than 50% water fluoridation are the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong and Israel. Most European countries have when compared to New Zealand, very good and high child health ratings, and have chosen not to fluoridate.

Fluorosis, the weakening and mottling of teeth is common amongst young New Zealanders and is evidence of systemic fluoride poisoning. If that’s what we can see externally imagine what the rest of the body's bones are like.

The sooner fluoride proponents stop imposing this false sense of security upon us and we seriously address what is really causing the dental and general health carnage across the country the sooner we will have healthier people. Proper preventative nutritional health care makes much more sound economical sense.
