Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 It is now over 60 years since the United States Government started to promote the widespread reuse of the fluoride hazardous waste generated in Aluminum and Phosphate fertilizer manufacture. Most of the countries of the developed countries of Western Europe and Asia have banned fluoride from their water systems in the face of the steady stream of studies linking fluoridated water supplies to increased risks of bone cancer, hip fracture and lowered intelligence in children. In March 2006 the National Research Council (NRC) of National Academy of Sciences could no longer contain the damage and had to find that the " safe " levels of fluoride in public water systems was not safe for infants and should be lowered. The EPA cavalierly raised the Maximum Contaminant Level for Fluoride up to 4.0 mg/Liter in 1986, but the so called optimum level of 1 mg/L is still too high for infants as stated in the NRC report of 3/2006. The American Dental Association (ADA) advised its members, but not the public that foods for babies under 1 year should not use fluoridated water that the ADA tries to get legislators to mandate in all water systems. The questionable conduct of Harvard Dental Professor Chester Douglass in misrepresenting and covering up the study of Elsie Bassin,PhD, that he supervised showing an increased bone cancer risk in young boys drinking fluoridated water raised the most serious concerns. Through all these battles the persistence of the small New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, a group of dedicated volunteers continue to gather the comprehensive evidence that keeps mounting against this embarrassing decision that has been covered up in those countries under the political influence of the United States. If your local water supply is fluoridated, you should write to your Governor and legislative representatives, pointing out the above dangers, requesting that fluoride be removed from your water systems due to the increased risk of cancer, any medication, such as fluoride can be taken by anyone who desires and should not be forced on large populations without informed consent.

Their constant stream of Emails on the issue are a constant reminder of how the battle for truth continues and seems to be promising an eventual breakthrough.To be on their Email list send a message to _nyscof_ (nyscof) their website _www.orgsites.com/ny/nyscof_ (http://www.orgsites.com/ny/nyscof) If you can spare a few dollars to send them send to: NYSCOF PO BOX 263 Old Bethpage, NY 11804-0263 it is well worth the contribution arnold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
