The Fluoride Debate

The Fluoride Debate; SunSmile Offers an Alternative

Fluoride is commonplace today in toothpastes, mouthwashes and drinking water. In the United States alone, over 120 million people are now drinking artificially fluoridated water. Many experts would argue that it poses a serious health risk. Fluoride is a known poison and has been classified as very toxic to extremely toxic by the National Library of Medicine's computerized data service on toxic substances. Numerous studies have demonstrated that fluorides are largely retained in the body and build up poisonous concentrations there.

Drs. R.N. Mukherjee and F.H. Sobels of the University of Leiden in Holland found that fluoride increases the frequency of genetic damage in sperm cells of laboratory animals exposed to x-rays and inhibits the repair of DNA.

Fluoride was first introduced in the public water systems in the United States in 1945 through an experiment, which grew out of research done by H. Trendley Dean, D.D.S. (the "father of fluoridation") for the Public Health Services. Dr. Dean was trying to determine the reason some people had higher than normal levels of staining of their teeth. His findings cited fluoride as the cause of the staining, but also credited fluoride as the reason these same people had fewer cavities. In 1950, the Public Health System recommended using artificial fluoridation in the public water systems to fight decay. Since the time fluoride entered the water system in the United States, there have been many health-related problems while at the same time, no statistically significant reduction in tooth decay. Dr. Dean himself has twice been forced to admit in court that his original statistics favoring fluoridation were invalid.

Christ Danielson, M.D., found an increased risk of hip fracture in men and women over age sixty-five who have been exposed to fluoride in their drinking water for about twenty years. At least 10 percent of fluoride in adults is deposited in bones, and studies have shown a positive correlation between higher fluoride intake and decreased bone mass and strength. In 1975, John Yiamouyiannis, M.D. and Dean Burk, M.D., compared ten large U.S. cities that fluoridate their water with ten cities that did not. They discovered a link between fluoride and a 10 percent increase in cancer deaths over a thirteen to seventeen year period. As a result of these studies, tests were ordered by Congress that confirmed that fluoride added to water causes cancer in laboratory animals.

In spite of all the research and finding, fluoride is still commonplace in the United States today. It has, however, been banned in Austria, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain.
