Famed pharmacologist says water fluoridation is obsolete
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Nobel Prize winner and famed pharmacologist Arvid Carlsson has said that fluoride works locally, so there is no reason to drink it. He says there is no other way it works as effectively as locally or topically.
In the 1970s, Dr. Carlsson was an outspoken opponent of two failed attempts to fluoridate water supplies in Sweden.
As Carlsson notes, "nobody talks about [fluoridation] anymore" in Sweden.
As with the vast majority of western Europe, Sweden has rejected water fluoridation, but has still experienced the same decline in tooth decay as experienced in heavily fluoridated countries such as the United States.
The second time, there was a proposal that the Swedish Parliament should allow addition of fluorine to the water supplies in Sweden and I became rather active as I had been the first time, and I think I was perhaps the one who more than anyone else convinced the Swedish parliament that this was not a good thing.
So you can see it's a long time ago.
And after that addition of fluorine to water supplies in Sweden has not been an issue anymore.
CONNETT: Do you think that your background in pharmacology sort of informed your view of fluoridation as a medical practice?
I mean, as I said before, this is against all principles of modern pharmacology.
There is no need, really, to go any further into all these other toxicity problems because I think the mottled teeth is enough.
CONNETT: In the United States, the dental community says that dental fluorosis is just a cosmetic effect, it's just spots on the teeth.
CONNETT: What about this notion of using the water supply as a vehicle of delivering medication?
In modern pharmacology it's so clear that even if you have a fixed dose of a drug, the individuals respond very differently to one and the same dose.
You have the teeth there, they're available for you, why drink the stuff?...
