Scientific Study Finds Fluoride Horror Stories Factual
Industrial by-product consumed by millions of Americans lowers IQ, causes cancer

The establishment media will have to find a new tactic with which to ridicule
those who oppose the fluoridation of water after a major new Scientific
American report concluded that "Scientific attitudes toward fluoridation may be
starting to shift" as new evidence emerges of the poison's link to disorders
affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland, as well as lowering IQ.
"Today almost 60 percent of the U.S. population drinks fluoridated water,
including residents of 46 of the nation's 50 largest cities," reports
Scientific American's Dan Fagin.
Fagin is an award-wining environmental reporter and Director of New York
University's Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program.
"Outside the U.S., fluoridation has spread to Canada, the U.K., Australia, New
Zealand and a few other countries. Critics of the practice have generally been
dismissed as gadflies or zealots by mainstream researchers and public health
agencies in those countries as well as the U.S. (In other nations, however,
water fluoridation is rare and controversial.)"
Indeed, the zeitgeist for scoffing at those who spoke of the dangers of mass
medicating the public against their will with fluoride was the deranged and
paranoid character of General Ripper in the hit 1964 Peter Selllers movie Dr.
Strangelove.
But that stereotype is quickly fading as serious scientific research uncovers
proof that all the horror stories about sodium fluoride told down the decades
are essentially true.
The Scientific American study "Concluded that fluoride can subtly alter
endocrine function, especially in the thyroid -- the gland that produces
hormones regulating growth and metabolism."
The report also notes that "a series of epidemiological studies in China have
associated high fluoride exposures with lower IQ."
"Epidemiological studies and tests on lab animals suggest that high fluoride
exposure increases the risk of bone fracture, especially in vulnerable
populations such as the elderly and diabetics," writes Fagin.
Fagin interviewed Steven Levy, director of the Iowa Fluoride Study which
tracked about 700 Iowa children for sixteen years. Nine-year-old "Iowa children
who lived in communities where the water was fluoridated were 50 percent more
likely to have mild fluorosis... than [nine-year-old] children living in
nonfluoridated areas of the state," writes Fagin.
The study adds to a growing literature of shocking scientific studies proving
fluoride's link with all manner of health defects, even as governments in the
west, including recently the UK, make plans to mass medicate the population
against their will with this deadly toxin.
In 2005, a study conducted at the Harvard School of Dental Health found that
fluoride in tap water directly contributes to causing bone cancer in young boys.
"New American research suggests that boys exposed to fluoride between the ages
of five and 10 will suffer an increased rate of osteosarcoma - bone cancer -
between the ages of 10 and 19," according to a London Observer article about
the study.
Based on the findings of the study, the respected Environmental Working Group
lobbied to have fluoride in tap water be added to the US government's
classified list of substances known or anticipated to cause cancer in humans.
Cancer rates in the U.S. have skyrocketed with one in three people now
contracting the disease at some stage in their life.
The link to bone cancer has also been discovered by other scientists, but a
controversy ensued after it emerged that Harvard Professor Chester Douglass,
who downplayed the connection in his final report, was in fact editor-in-chief
of The Colgate Oral Health Report, a quarterly newsletter funded by
Colgate-Palmolive Co., which makes fluoridated toothpaste.
An August 2006 Chinese study found that fluoride in drinking water damages
children's liver and kidney functions.
FACTS ABOUT FLUORIDE
- Fluoride is a waste by-product of the fertilizer and aluminum industry and
it's also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972.
- Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene
Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride).
- USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees
of Congress in the 1950's that in his post as U.S.-Soviet liaison officer, the
Soviets openly admitted to "Using the fluoride in the water supplies in their
concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient."
- The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in
Germany's Nazi prison camps. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride's
supposed effect on children's teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating
water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in
their concentration camps into calm submission. (Ref. book: "The Crime and
Punishment of I.G. Farben" by Joseph Borkin.)
- 97% of western Europe has rejected fluoridated water due to the known health
risks, however 10% of Britons drink it and the UK government is trying to fast
track the fluoridation of the entire country's water supply.
- In Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg fluoridation of water was rejected because
it was classified as compulsive medication against the subject's will and
therefore violated fundamental human rights.
- In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that
parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water.
- Sources of fluoride include: fluoride dental products, fluoride pesticides,
fluoridated pharmaceuticals, processed foods made with fluoridated water, and
tea.
