Fluoride Issue gets discussed in the Wall Street Journal

It's not every day that the fluoride issue makes the main stream media.  This was the case, on July 22, 2005, when an article entitled "Fluoridation, Cancer:  Did Researchers Ask the Right Question?" was published in the Wall Street Journal.  Sharon Begley's article discusses the apparent hiding of important scientific information at Harvard School of Dental Medicine.  The research indicated a 700% increased risk of osteosarcoma (a rare but often fatal bone cancer) in boys who were exposed to fluoridated water between ages six to eight.   The article relates why this research was swept under the rug.

Read the whole Wall Street Journal article and spread the news.

The scandal was brought to light by the Environmental Working Group, a well-respected Washington environmental organization.  See full  documents here.

Another Fluoride Accident in Massachusetts

About two years ago, in Marlboro, a malfunction in a water plant caused water to be flooded with fluoride.  This time, in Westminster, human error caused 750 gallons of fluorosilicic acid to spill.  Luckily, the spill was contained.

As far as what was reported, nobody was seriously harmed but worse consequences have occurred elsewhere.  It is very possible that some people were poisoned in this accident. We should not wait for something disastrous to happen in Massachusetts.  It is time our government officials realize this is another risk we take, when adding a chemical in our drinking water that a large portion of the population doesn't want in the first place.

EPA Reacts to New Information on the Fluoride-Cancer Link

In response to the latest information/scandal regarding bone cancer in young males (see Wall Street Journal article in previous news item), eleven EPA unions are now demanding that the EPA lower its Maximum Contaminant Level Goal for fluoride to zero, and of the U.S. Congress that it impose a moratorium on water fluoridation while conducting a full Congressional investigation.

The following links show these two recent letters.

The Fluoride Deception:

 A must read book

The Fluoride Deception, the long-awaited book by award-winning journalist Christopher Bryson, is now in bookstores.  This book is extremely well researched, documented, and written, and contains amazing facts that are new even to the most seasoned fluoride fighters.  Its forward is by Dr. Theo Colburn, a highly regarded research scientist and co-author of the watershed book on endocrine disruption, Our Stolen Future.

Because The Fluoride Deception contains material that puts the fluoridation public policy into a very different light, it is extremely important that this book be widely circulated.  This is a moment in fluoridation-fighting history that we must not let slip away.  NOW is the time to purchase this book and tell everyone you know to do the same!
