Fluorides
Fluoride in drinking water was
originally added in the 1940s to prevent tooth decay. Studies have now shown
that fluoride causes dental fluorosis in 10% of the population. Even more
disturbing than the cosmetic impact that fluoride can have on teeth, research is
also linking fluoride to increased risk of cancer (particularly bone cancer)
gene mutations reproductive problems neurotoxicity (hyper or depressed
activity) bone fluorosis (decreasing density). In fact, in 1999, the EPA's
Headquarters Union of Scientists took a stand opposing fluoridation of drinking
water supplies. Read more here.
The fluoride used for water fluoridation does not have FDA approval and is
considered by the FDA as an "unapproved drug". The proper use of any
drug requires an understanding of how much is too much. Since fluoride is
already in many foods and beverages, an estimated total intake of existing
fluoride amounts is imperative. Research shows fluoridation is unnecessary
since we're already receiving 300% or more of the American Dental Association's
recommended daily amount.
1. Fluoride exposure disrupts
the synthesis of collagen and leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone,
tendon, muscle, skin, cartilage, lungs, kidney and trachea.

2. Fluoride stimulates granule
formation and oxygen consumption in white blood cells, but inhibits these
processes when the white blood cell is challenged by a foreign agent in the
blood.
Robert A. Clark, " Neutrophil
Iodintion Reaction Induced by Fluoride: Implications for Degranulation and
Metabolic Activation," Blood, Vol. 57, pp. 913-921 (1981).
3. Fluoride depletes the energy
reserves and the ability of white blood cells to properly destroy foreign
agents by the process of phagocytosis. As little as 0.2 ppm fluoride stimulates
superoxide production in resting white blood cells, virtually abolishing
phagocytosis. Even micro-molar amounts of fluoride, below 1 ppm, may seriously
depress the ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents.

Other Facts
The contents of a family size
tube of fluoridated toothpaste is enough to kill a 25 pound child.
In 1991, the Akron (Ohio) Regional Poison
Center reported that "death has been reported following ingestion of
16mg/kg of fluoride. Only 1/10 of an ounce of fluoride could kill a 100 pound
adult. According to the Center, "fluoride toothpaste contains up to
1mg/gram of fluoride." Even Proctor and Gamble, the makers of Crest,
acknowledge that a family-sized tube "theoretically contains enough
fluoride to kill a small child."
Fluorides have been used to
modify behavior and mood of human beings.
It is a little known fact that fluoride
compounds were added to the drinking water of prisoners to keep them docile and
inhibit questioning of authority, both in Nazi prison camps in World War II and
in the Soviet gulags in Siberia.
Fluorides are medically
categorized as protoplasmic poisons, which is why they are used to kill
rodents.
The September 18, 1943 issue of the Journal of
the American Medical Association, states, "fluorides are general
protoplasmic poisons, changing the permeability of the cell membrane by
inhibiting certain enzymes. The exact mechanisms of such actions are
obscure."
Fluoride consumption by human
beings increases the general cancer death rate.
In 1975 Dr. John Yiamouyiannis published a
preliminary survey which showed that people in fluoridated areas have a higher
cancer death rate than those in non-fluoridated areas. The National Cancer
Institute attempted to refute the studies. Later in 1975 Yiamouyiannis joined
with Dr. Dean Burk, chief chemist of the National Cancer Institute (1939-1974)
in performing other studies which were then included in the Congressional
Record by Congressman Delaney, who was the original author of the Delaney
Amendment, which prohibited the addition of cancer-causing substances to food
used for human consumption. Both reports confirmed the existence of a link
between fluoridation and cancer. (Note: Obviously Dr. Burk felt free to
agree with scientific truth only after his tenure at National Cancer Institute
ended, since his job depended on towing the party line).
Fluorides have little or no
effect on decay prevention in humans.
In 1990 Dr. John Colquhoun was forced into
early retirement in New Zealand after he conducted a study on 60,000 school
children and found no difference in tooth decay between fluoridated and
unfluoridated areas. He additionally found that a substantial number of
children in fluoridated areas suffered from dental fluorosis. He made the study
public.
There is no scientific data
that shows that fluoride mouth rinses and tablets are safe for human use.
In 1989 a study by Hildebolt, et al. on 6,000
school children contradicted any alleged benefit from the use of sodium
fluorides. A 1990 study by Dr. John Yiamouyiannis on 39,000 school children
contradicted any alleged benefits from the use of sodium fluorides. In 1992
Michael Perrone, a legislative assistant in New Jersey, contacted the FDA
requesting all information regarding the safety and effectiveness of fluoride
tablets and drops. After 6 months of stalling, the FDA admitted they had no
data to show that fluoride tablets or drops were either safe or effective. They
informed Perrone that they will "probably have to pull the tablets and
drops off the market."
The fact that fluoride
toothpastes and school based mouth rinses are packaged in aluminum accentuates
the effect on the body.
In 1976, Dr. D. Allman and coworkers from
Indiana University School of Medicine fed animals 1 part-per-million (ppm)
fluoride and found that in the presence of aluminum, in a concentration as
small as 20 parts per billion, fluoride is able to cause an even larger
increase in cyclic AMP levels. Cyclic AMP inhibits the migration rate of white
blood cells, as well as the ability of the white blood cell to destroy pathogenic
(disease-causing) organisms. Reference: Journal of Dental Research, Vol. 55,
Sup B, p. 523, 1976, " Effect of Inorganic Fluoride Salts on Urine and
Tissue Cyclic AMP Concentration in Vivo". (Note: It is no small
accident that toothpaste tubes containing fluoride are often made of aluminum)
"Fluoridation is the
greatest case of scientific fraud of this century"
Robert Carlton, Ph. D., former U. S. EPA
scientist on " Marketplace" Canadian Broadcast Company, Nov.
24, 1992
"Regarding fluoridation,
the EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer
data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis, mutagenicity and other
effects"
William Marcus, Ph. D., senior EPA
toxicologist, Covert Action, Fall 1992, p. 66

At what point did this article MENTION, much less prove, that Obama wants to make water fluoridation a federal mandate, as the irresponsible title states? While the information in this article is important, it doesn't address what's in the title. And what's up with the second half of the posting?
Sloppy work.
