-Caveat Lector- Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart Famous Quotes on Fluorides and Fluoridation part 1/3 "The best way to beat the antifluoride zealots, these health terrorists, is to to fluoridate their water supply." - Dr.Michael Easley, ADA Fluoridation Spokesman, August 7, 1996 "We have told the public that fluoridation works, so we can't go back on that." - F.A. Bull, at the 1951 Dental Health Conference in Washington, D.C. "Ever since the Public Health Service (PHS) endorsed fluoridation in 1950, detractors have charged that PHS and the medical and dental establishment, such as the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Dental Association (ADA), have suppressed adverse scientific information about its effects. Some of those who generally support fluoridation make similar charges. For example, Zev Remba, the Washington Bureau editor of AGD Impact, the monthly publication of the Academy of General Dentistry, wrote last year that supporters of fluoridation have had an "unwillingness to release any information that would cast fluorides in a negative light," and that organized dentistry has lost "its objectivity - the ability to consider varying viewpoints together with scientific data to reach a sensible conclusion." Hileman B, Fluoridation of Water, Chemical & Engineering News, 1988 August 1, 66, pp 26-42 "Most of the world has rejected fluoridation. Only America where it originated, and countries under strong American influence persist in the practice. Denmark banned fluoridation when its National Agency for Environmental Protection, after consulting the widest possible range of scientific sources, pointed out that the long-term effects of low fluoride intakes on certain groups in the population (for example, persons with reduced kidney function), were insufficiently known . Sweden also rejected fluoridation on the recommendation of a special Fluoride Commission, which included among its reasons that: "The combined and long-term environmental effects of fluoride are insufficiently known" . Holland banned fluoridation after a group of medical practitioners presented evidence that it caused reversible neuromuscular and gastrointestinal harm to some individuals in the population . Environmental scientists, as well as many others, tend to doubt fluoridation. In the United States, scientists employed by the Environmental Protection Agency have publicly disavowed support for their employer's pro-fluoridation policies . The orthodox medical establishment, rather weak or even ignorant on environmental issues, persist in their support, as do most dentists, who tend to be almost fanatical about the subject. In English- speaking countries, unfortunately, the medical profession and its allied pharmaceutical lobby (the people who sell fluoride) seem to have more political influence than environmentalists." Dr. John Colquhoun, the former Chief Dental Officer of Auckland, NZ., 1997 "Fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons, probably because of their capacity to modify the metabolism of cells by chenging the permeability of the cell membrane and by inhibiting certain enzyme systems. The exact mechanism of such actions is obscure." Journal of the American Medical Association, Sept 18, 1943. "Three different studies in Japan, the United States and India examined the dental records of 445,000 children living in areas with increased levels of naturally occurring fluoride (calcium fluoride) in the water. In ALL cases, an INCREASED level of tooth decay was correlated with INCREASED levels of fluoride. Many people believe the propaganda that "fluoridated water 'prevents' tooth decay", YET no laboratory study or epidemiological study supports this claim. On the contrary, a study of 26,405 children in New Zealand found the most decay in children living in areas WITH artificially fluoridated water.
