Fluoridation and its Dangers by Alfred Jones
A number of Local Goverment Councils in Australia have been unable to
supply free fluoride supplements to the public due to an Australia wide
shortage, so residents should be heartened by the knowledge that they are
not dosing their children daily with an established equivocal carcinogen
which is as poisonous as lead and only slightly less so than arsenic.
The US Food and Drug Administration has never approved fluoride supplements
and the World Health Organisation list of Essential Medicines is being reviewed
in 2005 with sodium fluoride listed for removal.
The Australian dental researchers Amfield and Spencer reported no significant
difference in the decay rates of permanent teeth of children drinking fluoridated
compared to unfluoridated water (Arnfreld JM & Spencer AJ (2004) Community
Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 32 (4) 283).
Silico fluorides used as fluoridating agents contain lead and carcinogenic
arsenic and studies by Masters and
Coplan, (1999) show an association between the use of fluorosilicic acid (and
its sodium salt) in fluoridated
water and an increase uptake of lead into children's blood. In fact Roger D
Masters (research professor of
Government Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, USA) reported: The specific
chemical compounds most frequently used to fluoridate water in the USA, fluorosilicic
acid and sodium silicofluoride have never been adequately tested.
Epidemiological studies show that, where these silicofluorides are added to
public water, children are significantly more likely to absorb lead in their
environment from lead paint in old houses, lead levels in water, etc. (Masters
etal, Neurotoxicology (200)23: 101 +Int.i. Env Stud. (1999) 56:435).
A search on the internet under the search term "silicofluoride" reveals a number
of disturbing articles in relation to harmful effects. For new evidence of
potential serious harm from fluoride ingestion,
(see www.fluoridealert.org/limeback.htm) for a summary.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of properly done scientific studies warning
about the short and long term dangers of fluoridation and the evidence is gathering
of the disastrous effects of water fluoridation on all living things.
So what is amazing is the fact that the professionals promoting fluoride, in
one form or another, seem unaware of any of these studies, or choose to ignore
them even though they are conducted by scientists with qualifications equal
to or even superior to themselves, Studies have also shown that with constant
ingestion silicofluorides are extremely cumulative, cannot be eliminated, and
have severely debilitating and disabling effects particularly as the victims
approach old age.
It can also precipitate a dramatic increase in an otherwise rare and fatal
form of bone cancer in adolescent boys, even after relatively short periods
of exposure.
Safe to put in drinking water? I think not!
