"Fluoride Science is Corporate Science
Fluoride Science is DDT Science
It's Asbestos Science
It's Tobacco Science
It's a racket!"

The Fluoride Deception
An Interview with Christopher Bryson
Christopher Bryson is an award winning investigative journalist and a former producer for The BBC. In July of 2004 the book he had been researching for 10 years was published, The Fluoride Deception. In May of 2004, Christopher Bryson did an interview with a representative of the Fluoride Action Network about his book. He was asked to introduce people to the individuals and institutions that played a role in shaping the public policies around the toxicity of fluoride, and around the safety of fluoride being added to public water systems.
There is no reason to be adding fluoride to public water systems or giving children fluoride supplements. Fluoride does not help prevent tooth decay, and it is poisonous.
We have seen evidence showing drinking water containing fluoride can cause damage to tooth enamel in dental fluorosis, bones in skeletal fluorosis, and cause a malignant tumor in a bone with osteosarcoma. We have learned India and China have reported cases of skeletal fluorosis in cities where the amount of fluoride in drinking water is as low as 0.7 ppm. The recommended amount of fluoride added to public waters systems in the United States has been 0.7 to 1.2 ppm, not to exceed 1.4 ppm, since 1962. In 2011 the recommended amount was changed to 0.7 ppm (CDC website, 2011).
Below are
strong, deliberate statements against fluoride. They are made by the top medical
authorities in our nation - based on the latest medical research (Citizens for Safe Drinking Water, 2012).
In June of 1999, the Majority Chairman of the Environmental Resources Committee, Pennsylvania House of Representatives stated ".. there is no solid scientific or medical evidence to show that fluoridation is of any beneficial help to public health, safety or welfare."
"This record is barren of any credible and reputable scientific epidemiological studies and/or analysis of statistical data which would support the Illinois Legislatures determination that fluoridation of the water supplies is both a safe and effective means of promoting public health." - Illinois Judge Ronald Niemann (presided over litigation involving fluoridation)
"The evidence against the safety of this public health policy keeps mounting; it is too compelling to ignore." - Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, Children's Hospital, Boston
"The plain fact that fluorine is an insidious poison harmful, toxic and cumulative in its effects, even when ingested in minimal amounts, will remain unchanged no matter how many times it will be repeated in print that fluoridation of the water supply is 'safe.'" Dr. Ludgwig Grosse, Chief of Cancer Research, U.S. Veterans Administration.
"I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable." - Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association.
"Based on data from the National Academy of Sciences, current levels of fluoride exposure in drinking water may cause arthritis in a substantial portion of the population long before they reach old age" -Dr. Robert Carton, former EPA Scientist.
"Fluorides are general protoplasmic poisons, probably because of their capacity to modify the metabolism of cells by changing the permeability of the cell membrane and by inhibiting certain enzyme systems." Journal of the American Medical Association, Sept 18, 1943
"Fluoride has been shown to adversely effect the central nervous system, causing behavioral changes, increased hip fractures and reproduction problems." Natick Report Research Team
[Research Microbiologist, U.S. Army, Dr. B. J. Gallo, Environmental Chemist, J. Kupperschmidt Apollo Program Project Scientist, Dr. N.R. Mancuso, U.S. Army Natick Research Labs, A. Murray, Molecular Biologist, Dr. Strauss]
"..fluoride
damages bone even at levels added to public drinking water"
American Journal of Epidemiology, October 1999
"Since
1990, five
major epidemiological
studies
from
three countries-the United States, United Kingdom and France--
showing a higher rate of hip fractures
in fluoridated regions.." Australian & New Zealand
Journal of Public Health, 1997 vol. 21 no.
24
"fluoride
exposure, at levels that are experienced by a significant proportion
of the population whose drinking water is fluoridated, may have
adverse
impacts on the developing brain." Greater Boston
Physicians for Social Responsibility, May 2000
We need to stop protecting fluoride.
It does not help prevent tooth decay. It is a poison.
It does not help prevent tooth decay. It is a poison.
There are many ways you can help change fluoride policy. Go to Fluoride Action Network and they will tell you how to, "Join the fight to get our water clean."
