In 1945 dentists set out to prove that adding fluoride chemicals

into public

water supplies safely prevented children’s tooth decay. The

studies failed;

but early fluoridationists ignored this inconvenient truth and

forged ahead.

Now with 2/3 of public water supplies fluoridated, Americans are

fluoride

overdosed and suffer from fluoride’s toxic effects as cavity

rates climb.

In 1955, ten years into the experiment, researchers reported more

bone

defects, anemia and earlier female menstruation in children

purposely dosed with

sodium fluoride-laced drinking water (1956 Journal of the American

Dental

Association). This is the first, and only, fluoridation human

health experiment

which was carried out on the entire population in the city of

Newburgh NY.

How did this happen?

In the early 1900’s, brown and yellow discolored, but decay

resistant, teeth

were prevalent in healthier, wealthier U.S. populations drinking

and

irrigating their crops with naturally calcium-fluoridated water.

Researchers discovered fluoride was the tooth discoloring culprit

and

mistakenly thought fluoride was also the cavity-fighting hero †"

unaware that

calcium was required to grow sound dentition. And also unaware of

Dentist Weston

Price’s extensive research published in 1939 showing that without

fluoride,

healthier populations had healthier teeth because of good diets.

Public health officials, so sure sodium fluoride safely benefited

children’

s teeth, had no misgivings about carrying out this very unusual

experiment

without first doing animal studies, without informed consent and

without

thought or interest about how sodium fluoride could afflict

adults.

Mistakenly assuming all fluorides are the same, in 1945, sodium

fluoride,

waste products from industries such as Alcoa Aluminum Company (not

natural

calcium-fluoride), was added to Newburgh NY’s water supply at

about one

milligram fluoride per liter of water. Kingston NY, the control

city for comparison

purposes, was left fluoride-free.

Kingston and Newburgh are thirty-five miles apart on the Hudson

River in New

York State and in 1940 had populations of 31,956 and 28,817,

respectively.

In Newburgh, 500 children were examined after ten years and 405 in

Kingston.

Adults were never tested.

Although planned to last ten years, due to political pressure, the

Newburgh/Kingston study was declared a success after five years

which caused many U.S.

cities to start fluoridation prematurely.

 

Newburgh's children were given complete physicals and x-rays, over

the

course of the study, from birth to age nine in the first year and up

to age

eighteen in the final year.

“®outine laboratory studies were omitted in the control group

during most

of the study, they were included in the final examination,â€

according to

Schlesinger and colleagues, in “Newburgh-Kingston caries-fluorine

study XIII.

Pediatric findings after ten years.â€

 

The researchers report after ten years of fluoridation in Newburgh

New York:

 

-- “The average age at the menarche was 12 years among the girls

studied in

Newburgh and 12 years 5 months among the girls in Kingston.â€

 

--Hemoglobin (iron-containing part of a red blood cell): “a few

more

children in the range below 12.9 grams per hundred milliliters in

Newburghâ€

 

--“…a slightly higher proportion of children in Newburgh were

found to have

a total erythrocyte (red blood cell) count below 4,400,000 per

milliliterâ€

 

--Knee X-rays of Newburgh children reveals more cortical bone

defects, and

irregular mineralization of the thigh bone.

 

Only twenty-five Newburgh children had eye and ear exams. Two had

hearing

loss; eight had abnormal vision. Even though researchers discovered

more adult

cataracts in surveys conducted before 1944 in communities with

naturally high

water fluoride concentrations Newburgh and Kingston adults were

never

checked for this defect.

Only two groups of twelve-year-old boys were tested for

fluoride’s toxic

kidney effects.

In a statewide survey conducted in 1954, J. A. Forst, M.D a New

York public

health official reported observing one-third more dental defects,

including

malposition of teeth, in fluoridated Newburgh, New York, than in

the

non-fluoridated control city of Kingston.

The 2004 book " The Fluoride Deception, " by Christopher Bryson,

reveals that

in addition to NYS Dep't of Health examinations “the University

of Rochester

conducted its own studies, measuring how much fluoride Newburgh

citizens

retained in their blood and tissues. Health Department personnel

cooperated,

shipping blood and placenta samples to the Rochester scientists,â€

writes Bryson.

Three times as much fluoride was found in the placentas and blood

samples

gathered from Newburgh as from non-fluoridated Rochester, reports

Bryson.

 

Following back the scientific references in all current

fluoridation safety

literature will invariably lead back to the Newburgh/Kingston study

which

actually failed to prove fluoridation is safe for all who drink it

although

public health officials and dentists tell a different story..

On January 25, 1945, Grand Rapids Michigan was actually the first

U.S. city

to fluoridate; without health effects measured. Even that study is

scientifically dishonest. After five years tooth decay declined

equally in Grand

Rapids and its control city Muskegon Michigan so Muskegon’s water

was fluoridated

which actually invalidated this experiment.

So it’s not surprising that a toxicological review of current

fluoride

science by the prestigious National Academies shows that fluoride

jeopardizes

health - even at lowlevels deliberately added to public water

supplies.

Fluoride poses risks to the thyroid gland, diabetics, kidney

patients, high

water drinkers and others and can severely damage children's teeth.

Further

studies linking fluoride to cancer and lowered IQ are plausible,

they report.

(1 comments) Tainted fluoride chemicals are added to 2/3 of the

U.S. water

supplies. Fluoride does not purify or treat the water supply, it's

added to

medicate the tap water consumer against tooth decay. It fails at

that, too. But

costs hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
