Adding
fluoride to drinking water in the U.S. began on January 25, 1945
in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Its intended benefit is to reduce tooth
decay on a mass scale in a cost effective manner. For any drug,
chemical, or medical/dental procedure intended for human consumption
or use, be it conventional or alternative, the patient should
ask two questions before consenting to its use. How
Effective is it, and what potential or
expected side effects does it have? The quite
differing answers to these two questions is basically what
this passionate controversy is all about. There are two
view points regarding fluoride. One view that says fluoride
is SAFE. The other view says that fluoride
is UNSAFE.

Review: Don't believe the pro-fluoridationists,

Barry Grove's book, Fluoride:
Drinking Ourselves to Death, exposes the "science"
that has successfully promoted water fluoridation
for what it is: bluff, propaganda, and lies. Fluoride
is a poison--more poisonous than lead, slightly less
poisonous than arsenic. It is cumulative and collects
in bones and tissues, not just the teeth. Numerous
studies done on animals point out the obvious dangers.
Other studies have shown increased rates of cancer,
osteoporosis, and other diseases. Dr. Albert Schatz,
who discovered the antibiotic streptomycin, said in
1982 that "fluoridation is the greatest fraud
that has ever been perpetrated." Yet other studies
of tens of thousands of children show that it isn't
even effective at preventing cavities and is an extremely
poor delivery system even if it were effective.

Review: Fluoride: Health Fraud of the First Order., February
9, 2002
Reviewer: Ken Brown from Colorado
This
book is excellent for pointing out the fradulent studies
that were done and which were used as a basis for
duping dentists and other health officials into promoting
fluoridation. Dr. Yiamouyiannis outlines the history
of the fraud and how promoters abuse their power to
ruin the professional careers of opponents, especially
if those opponents are credentialed. Chemical and
Engineering News of 8/1/88 Vol. 66 and Newsweek Magazine
of 9/14/92 p. 63, address this and other issues. This
is must reading for those who are disciplined to think
for themselves as opposed to those who just accept
the word of indoctrinated individuals who are beholden
to the power structure (e.g. ADA, AMA, USPHS). The
"power structure" can never admit they were
wrong in promoting the practice, because to so, would
be to open themselves to untold levels of liability.
