Judge Flaherty, later to become a member of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, sat through weeks of testimony on the issue of fluoridation's dangers. He ruled that fluoridation at 1ppm was in fact dangerous to human health and also added that the proponents seem to do little but denigrate the anti-fluoridationists. His ruling was overturned on a technicality of jurisdiction but not on the merits of the case, which was never questioned.
A telling statistic comes from New Zealand which, since the 1930's, has offered free dental care to its children to age 13 with a resulting and revealing data base. A graph of the decades of NZ's declining tooth decay (of over 95% of the nation's children) shows a slope that is unaffected when fluoridation and fluoridated toothpaste were introduced in the 1950's. Fluoride had no effect. Maybe NZ children's teeth are different??
The Grand Rapids/Muskegon study, the first fluoridation study in the US, found tooth decay decreased somewhat more in the fluoridated areas HOWEVER...they don't mention that in the fluoridated city, the method was changed and many schools were dropped ONLY in the fluoridated city. That the study was bogus is proven because in the fluoridated city the incidence of missing, filled and decayed teeth among one class of students was better than the rate the same children had the year before. In other words their teeth repaired themselves! Even proponents don't make that claim for fluoridation! Obviously, the schools with the worse tooth decay records were eliminated but only in the fluoridated city! This is a classic example of biased researchers who worked to make the study fit their preconceived ideas. This shows, as the Nobel Laureate, Dr. Linus Paulig, PhD always admonished his people, "Don't just read the abstracts! READ THE STUDY!!!"
The China studies mentioned by the doctor as being a "couple" have now grown to 23. All of them show that children in China (whose exposure is primarily from air-blown coal-burning pollution) who have dental fluorosis (the outward sign of fluoride poisoning) had a 5 to 11 point deficit in IQ! Dental fluorosis now affects over 40% of American children in fluoridated areas. We look for the dumbing-down of our children everywhere but in the most obvious place. Add the published rat study showing that when rats are given aluminum and fluoride together it produces brain lesions identical to those in Alzheimers victims. Aluminum alone didn't do it. Fluoride is an enhancing transmitter from the gut to the blood and from the blood into the brain. An aluminum-fluoride pesticide is the most used chemical by vegetable and fruit producers. It can not be rinsed off in cold water, only warm water and soap removes it. Fluoride is in virtually all canned drinks, wine, food cooked in fluoridated water and is easily absorbed through the skin in bathing. The old accepted medical remedy for too much thyroid hormones was to soak in fluoridated water! Fluoride lowers thyroid and hypothyroidism is at near epidemic levels among humans and their pets. Everyone is getting fatter as fluoride lowers body temperature (undetected hypothyroidism) so we don't burn up calories.
Dr. Elise Basen, DDS, PhD compared the incidence of osteosarcoma (a rare but often fatal bone cancer) in fluoridated and non-fluoridated counties and found from a 5 to 8 times increase in fluoridated areas. This corroborates the NJ Health Dept. comparison of their fluoridated and non-fluoridated counties showing almost an identical finding in osteosarcoma among their children. It also corroborates a government rat study showing this cancer has a direct correlation with the amount of fluoride given the rats. Osteoarcoma seems to be caused by radiation and fluoridated water is radioactive and ingestion is particularly dangerous during the fast bone growth periods of children (5 to 8).
This study was Dr. Bassen's Harvard PhD thesis and was published in a peer-review Harvard journal. Her faculty advisor buried her findings and didn't mention them in his report to the NAS study group . He works for Colgate-Palmolive company: the guys who started the whole toothpaste with fluoride thing.
