Corporate pressure keeps water fluoridated, despite health risks
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Analyst John R. Lee, M.D maintains that fluoridation of public drinking water has only persisted throughout the decades because of corporate pressure and skewed science.
Within the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) there is something called the Food and Nutrition Board that, in 1997, attempted to include fluoride as an essential nutrient.
I will not, in this report, recount all the evidence that demolishes the Public Health claim of fluoride's supposed dental benefit.
Even if it worked, fluoride's toxicity is sufficient to discontinue fluoridation.
However, you should know that the majority of industrialized countries have banned or discontinued fluoridation because of their own studies showing (1) lack of effect and/or (2) evidence of toxicity.
The Board's selection of fluoride raises the question of their motive in linking it to essential nutrients.
According to the Federal Code of Regulations, the concentration of any substance in drinking water must be no more than one hundred times less than that shown to toxic in any manner.
This is the normal safety factor allowed in water sold to the public.
PHS authorities avoid this dilemma by redefining dental fluorosis as a mere "cosmetic" effect rather than a "toxic" effect.
The inclusion of fluoride in the present meeting of the Food and Nutrition Board strongly challenged by many top-flight scientists.
Professor of Chemistry Dr. Albert Burgstahler (U. of Kansas), an active researcher on the toxic effects and chemistry of fluoride for over thirty years, planned to report the errors in the NAS's arithmetic and reasoning on the subject.
From records derived via the Freedom of Information act, we now know that our atomic bomb program created fluoride waste in the use of fluoride flux to produce uranium 235.
By ignorance and carelessness, chemical industries in New Jersey producing bomb-grade uranium allowed an escape of waste fluoride into the air, severely damaging fruit trees and animal life downwind of these industries.
