Fluoride was NEVER Approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness

http://www.1healthmall.com/shopcart/fluoride.htm"FLUORIDE" Fluoride was found to be an equivocal carcinogen by the National Cancer Institute Toxicological Program. Further studies by the New Jersey Department of Health have now confirmed a 6.9 fold increase in bone cancer in young males. Earlier studies had found a 5% increase in all types of cancers in fluoridated communities. Opaque white spots and brown ugly teeth caused by fluoride is called Fluorosis. Fluorosis currently affects one out of five or more children in this nation although it is rarely seen in California. California is the least fluoridated state with less than 16% of the population drinking artificially fluoridated water. Fluoride is not effective in reducing tooth decay. No correlation was found between the level of fluoride in water and dental caries. The FDA considers fluoride an unapproved new drug for which there is no proof of safety or effectiveness. The FDA does not consider fluoride an essential nutrient. The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has classified Fluoride as an unapproved dental medicament due to its high toxicity. •As of this moment, THE FDA HAS NO PROOF OF THE SAFETY OR EFFECTIVENESS OF FLUORIDE AND NO DRUG APPLICATION IS PENDING. •Fluoride drops and tablets are classified by the FDA as an UNAPPROVED NEW DRUG. How the unapproved status of fluoride was revealed: An investigation was initiated by New Jersey State Assemblyman John V. Kelly. His investigation showed that, although: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has no proof of fluoride safety or effectiveness. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has no proof of fluoride safety or effectiveness; virtually every American is exposed to daily treatment with this unapproved new drug. And such proof has been required by law since June 7, 1938. In June 1993, New Jersey State Assemblyman John V. Kelly announced his alarming discovery. In the process, the FDA did not voluntarily come forward with this startling information. When the Honorable Mr. Kelly asked for their records of tests results used to verify the safety of fluoride the FDA initially refused to comply. It was only because of the effort by Assemblyman Kelly that the FDA admitted they could not comply with the request. They revealed that there is no drug application on record for fluoride and none has ever been submitted. There are no studies on file showing either safety or effectiveness. Blunder 1) Uncontrolled random dosages. It is impossible to consistently supply any medication through the drinking water. People are very unique in their sensitivity to drugs and resent being medicated without their consent. Adding fluoride to drinking water invariably leads to uncontrolled random dosages. Infants and adults who drink more beverages will be overdosed. There are many well documented scientifically verified negative side-effects from exposure to fluoride. 2) No margin for safety. There is a negative margin of safety between the "therapeutic" dose and onset of adverse health effects. Increased hip fractures are found at levels 1/10th the "recommended" 1 ppm fluoride level. 3) We are getting too much already! Excessive fluoride accumulates in the biosphere and results in ever increasing levels in soil, food and water. Beverages such as grape juice may have 6.8 ppm. This grossly exceeds the level of fluoride that has adverse health effects. Soft drinks and beers manufactured in fluoridated communities will contain fluoride as well. 4) Fluoride is a human carcinogen. Fluoride has repeatedly been shown to be a carcinogen in cell cultures, animals and humans. In 1956 Dr. John Chaffey, a professor of clinical pediatrics at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, noted cortical defects in the bone x-rays of 13.5% of the children living in fluoridated Newburgh, compared to only 7.5% in the neighboring nonfluoridated Kingston. He also noted the lesions were strikingly similar to osteosarcoma. Studies have now confirmed a dramatic increase in osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in young males exposed to fluoride during growth of the bones and a 5% increase in all types of cancers in fluoridated communities. 5) Fluoridation does not reduce tooth decay. Adding fluoride to drinking water has not been shown to be effective in reducing tooth decay. In blinded animal studies there was no correlation to the amount of fluoride and tooth decay. In the human populations fluoridation was not effective in reducing tooth decay. In fact, tooth decay has decreased more in some nonfluoridated communities than in fluoridated ones. 6) Fluorosis is a disease (health effect) caused by fluoride. According to the National Research Council fluorosis affects 8 to 51% and sometimes as many as 80% of the children growing up in areas where drinking water contains one part per million (1 ppm) fluoride. Fluoride also can have a deleterious effect on bone growth and cause premature joint and ligament aging. The visible damage to tooth surfaces results in mottled, brittle teeth that are prone to fracture and may cost many thousands of dollars to cosmetically repair. 7) Fluoridation is very expensive. There are enormous health care costs associated with injury from fluoridation. Adverse health affects include; hip fracture, joint and ligament calcification, bone cancers, other cancers, allergy, accidental poisonings and death. The cost of a hip replacement alone is over $35,000 in California. There is a 25% mortality associated with this adverse health effect of fluoridation.
