Written on How do you feel about water fluoridation?:

Fluoridation Ineffective & Harmful, studies show

More than 3,700 professionals (including 322 dentists) urge that fluoridation be stopped citing scientific evidence that ingesting fluoride is ineffective at reducing tooth decay and has serious health risks. See statement: http://www.fluoridealert.org/professi...

Eleven US EPA unions representing over 7000 environmental and public health professionals are calling for a moratorium on fluoridation.

The CDC reports that 225 less communities adjusted for fluoride between 2006 and 2008. About 100 US and Canadian communities rejected fluoridation since 2008, including Fairbanks, Alaska, and Calgary, Alberta, Canada, this year. More recently Spring Hill,TN; Philomath, OR and Pottstown, PA have stopped fluoridation

New York State communities which have already stopped or rejected fluoridation include: Elba, Levittown, Canton, Corning, Johnstown, Oneida, Carle Place, Rockland County, Suffolk County, Western Nassau County, Albany, Beacon, Poughkeepsie, Riverhead, Central Bridge Water District, Homer, Ithaca, Rouses Point and Amsterdam.

NYC Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr introduced legislation to stop fluoridation in New York City .

Written on Tooth Talk: Children’s dental health — not quite a myth:

Studies show that fluoride will not prevent teeth from being eroded from sodas or fruit juices.

Further, there is no evidence that drinking fluoride-free bottled water causes more cavities. In fact, some studies show that children who drink fluoride-free water have less cavities.

Many studies show that when water fluoridation stops, cavity rates actually go down.

Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. The American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control recommend that infants NOT be fed fluoridated water either alone or mixed into their infant formula.

The CDC reports that up to 48% of US school children are fluoride over dosed and sport dental fluorosis - white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted enamel. This is costing Americans multli-millions of dollars to cover up in expensive out-of-pocket costs.

Low-income children who are more apt to get fluorosis will just have to suffer the embarassing consequences of a medical establishment that encourages more, rather than less, fluoride, and a media who fails to research fluoride properly.
