Dr. John Doull, Chairman of the National Research Council’s (NRC) comprehensive fluoride review, stated that: “Under studies completed, we found that many of the most important questions about floride, are unanswered. Scientific and medical research implicates fluoride exposure as a contributor to various chronic health ailments.”
In 2001, the union of scientists EPA Headquarters Office in Washington D.C. stated: “Water fluoridation is an unreasonable risk.”
A growing number of health professionals agree; over 4,000 medical, dental and scientific, professionals signed the “End Water Fluoridation Petition.” Specific health risks (e.g., risks to the brain and thyroid) can be accessed by clicking on the links at fluoridealert.org.
Current safety standards are not confirmed as safe for good health. Dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis are the first adverse effects that fluoride can have on the body.
American University chemistry professor, Dr. William Hirzy said, “it would be a ‘biological miracle’ if fluoride did not cause other harm prior to producing these end-stage forms of toxicity. Research already shows that fluoride can cause arthritic symptoms and bone fracture.
The margin between the toxic and therapeutic dose is very narrow: The NRC concluded that the allegedly “safe” upper limit of fluoride in water (4 mg/l) is toxic to human health. Fluoridation is an unreasonable risk.
According to the website, nofluoride.com, the EPA opposes fluoridation, Say no to fluoride in the City Water.
