Video: 1945 Human Experiment Predicts Current Fluoride Ill Effects

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, "

according to Schlesinger and colleagues, in " Newburgh-Kingston

caries-fluorine study XIII. Pediatric findings after ten years. "

 

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. "

 

-Hemoglobin (iron-containing part of a red blood cell): " a few more children

in the range below 12.9 grams per hundred milliliters in Newburgh "

 

- " .a slightly higher proportion of children in Newburgh were found to have a

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

 

-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, " 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.
