sugar man is writing about fluoride what next Kevin rudd’s cat on nature conservation?

In my little family (two adults & one child) we get through maybe 7 or 8 litres a year between us. My thanks to whomever is drinking more than a thousand extra litres annually to make up our contribution to the average.

The National Kidney Foundation withdrew their fluoridation endorsement and replaced it with a warning that all chronic kidney disease patients should be notified of the potential risk of fluoride exposure.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment now opposes fluoridation because modern science does not support it

Researchers report in the Oct 6 2007 British Medical Journal that fluoridation was never proven safe or effective and may be unethical.

Researchers reported n the scientific journal “Biological Trace Element Research” published in 2008 that a review of studies found a consistent and strong association between the exposure to fluoride and low IQ

Dr. A. K. Susheela an international expert on fluoride and fluorosis tells us in this video clip that US physicians are not trained to discern early signs of fluoride poisoning. http://tinyurl.com/Susheela

Dr. Arvid Carlsson,winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Medicine, says that fluoridation is obsolete and should be abandoned

Now over 2,000 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.

Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. It’s a drug that should never be dispensed based on thirst and not need.

That would be…nicotine. And would hardly help the problem.

You miss the point the WHO made in the 2002 report which was that on balance fluoridation of water is a good idea but, like all interventions, not without some side effects. However, your article is somewhat misleading about the side effects. Fluourois (dental or skeletal) refers to a condition that can occur with fluoride overdose, not at the relatively low levels that we are exposed to via drinking water. Overall skeletal fluorosis is an almost insignificant issue in the industrialised world, with only a handful of cases reported. Where it is a problem is in countries where significant numbers of people are exposed to fluoride overdose during industrial processes. There is no evidence to suggest that skeletal fluorosis is increasing in incidence and if you would like to find reasons for fractures occurring in older people vitamin D and calcium deficiency are both more common and more important.

Dental fluorosis is a little more common and is related to fluoride overdose in developing teeth. This is the reason the ADA have suggested not using fluoridated water for baby formula.

However, reducing the amount of highly sugared foods and especially soft drinks is a very, very good idea and that’s perhaps the most important point.

It’s a matter of public record that the Nazis put IG Farben fluoride in the concentration camps water supplies. Naturally, we know the Nazis were concerned of the dental health of their prisoners - don’t we.

Wake up people. We’re being mass sedated. We’re being dumbed down by Dancing with the Stars, Australian Idol and a virulent poison in our water which many European communities are removing from their public water supplies.

Are Australians aware fluoride is an issue of national security? Come on what’s going on? The government needs to come clean. Our scientists need to inform the public. We need to protect our children and our elderly who are victims of this poison in our water. Get it out of the water supply now.
