FAN Bulletin 2013: Stockin strikes at the heart of the beast

 

March 9, 2010

 

 

Please drop everything you are doing and watch the TV news story,

" Dangerous Fluoride, " from the CBS affiliate in Atlanta, Georgia at

_http://www.cbsatlanta.com/video/22781769/_

Remember Atlanta is the home of the CDC: the biggest promoter of

fluoridation in the US and the world. Dan Stockin has struck at the heart of the

beast of fluoridation in its home town. Neither the ADA nor the CDC could

provide answers to the CBS news team. Surprise, surprise.

 

 

We need to get the link to this videoclip (transcript below) on as many

websites and other outlets as possible. Please put it on your facebook, your

twitter or whatever internet system you use. Please send it to any media

contacts you have and ask them to follow up on this story.

 

 

Meanwhile, Dan Stockin, and the Lillie Center for which he works, are in

desperate need of funds to keep this project going. FAN is sending $5000 but

this is only a fraction of what he needs. Please use the donate button on

his website:

_http://spotsonmyteeth.com/_ (http://spotsonmyteeth.com/) He also needs

more photos of those with dental fluorosis to send in pictures of their

teeth to this same website.

 

Not only is the CDC the heart of the beast, but we know that dental

fluorosis is its Achilles heel. They cannot deny that fluoridation increases the

risk of dental fluorosis. They cannot deny that it is a huge problem in the

US. Their own figures show that at least 32% of American children suffer

from this condition. Moreover, even though they have advised that fluoridated

tap water should not be used to make up baby formula, they have not taken

aggressive steps to get this message out to parents. Nor are they warning

vulnerable sub-groups of the population that they are more vulnerable to

fluorosis than others.

 

 

Even more serious is that the US Public Health Service, the CDC's parent

body, has nurtured a huge gamble since 1950. They have assumed - and hoped -

that while fluoride is damaging the growing tooth cells that it wasn't

harming any other tissue in the infant's body. This was a reckless gamble in

1950. They didn't have the evidence to support that gamble in 1950, and they

haven't shown much inclination to collect any evidence since: the absence

of study does not mean the absence of harm. The CDC is not exercising due

diligence on the dangers of fluoridation and it is failing to protect the

public health. Now the mainstream media in its home town knows about it.

Thanks Dan.

Fluoride: Friend Or Foe?

Fluoride Opponent Says Chemical Is Harmful To Our Health

By Stephany Fisher, CBS Atlanta Anchor

 

Excerpt: " ... The American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease

Control have endorsed water fluoridation since 1950 and while they admit

that fluoride can be toxic in excessive quantities, the ADA maintains that

at optimal levels, water fluoridation is a safe and effective way to prevent

dental decay.

 

But, when we tried to ask the tough questions, the CDC and State Dental Elizabeth Lense, denied our requests for interviews... "
