I didn't think that people like this still existed. Sure, there was the big scare back in the late 40s and 50s, but I thought that seeing as how there wasn't ever a big thing that came of flouridation, there wasn't a reason to fear. That isn't the case:
THE FLUORIDE ACTION NETWORK
FAN Bulletin #534: NRC Delivers Wake Up
Call on FluorideMarch 22, 2006
Dear all,Enclosed below is a copy of today's
press release from Fluoride Action Network (FAN) regarding the historic report
on fluoride toxicity released today by the National Research Council. For more
information on the report, including the latest updates and press coverage, see: http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/epa/nrc/index.html
Michael & Paul Connett
...A National Research Council (NRC) report on fluoride toxicity released today gives powerful evidence that many Americans are being overdosed with harmful levels of
fluoride. A wide range of health problems are cited in the report, with bones
and teeth being the foremost, but not sole, targets of concern.The current
“maximum contaminant level” for fluoride, 4 parts per million (ppm), was set by
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect adults from crippling
skeletal fluorosis, a severe arthritic bone disease. The NRC advises the EPA to
lower this standard because of strong evidence linking fluoride to bone
fracture, joint pain, and damage to teeth...
And so on. I won't bore you with the rest of it, but seriously, I can't believe that General Jack D Ripper's legacy lives on today.
