1. |
Hydrofluosilicic acid (Sodium Fluoride) never occurs in
nature. It
|
| |
is a toxic waste product of
industry. |
| |
|
|
2. |
Fluoride is more toxic than lead and slightly less
toxic than arsenic. |
| |
|
|
3. |
Fluoride accumulates in the body like lead,
inflicting its damage |
| |
over a long period of time. |
| |
|
|
4. |
Fluoride tablets are available by prescription only.
Therefore,
|
| |
fluoridation is mass medication of
of the population. |
| |
|
|
5. |
Four glasses (one liter) of fluoridated
water equals a one-milligram |
| |
prescription dose of fluoride. |
| |
|
|
6. |
Fluoride is found in most toothpastes and
in many foods and drinks
|
| |
processed in fluoridated areas. We are
already being over- |
| |
fluoridated withoutdrinking
artificially fluoridated water. |
| |
|
|
7. |
A family-sized tube of fluoride
toothpaste contains enough fluoride |
| |
to kill a small child. |
| |
|
|
8. |
Dental fluorosis, or mottling and disfigurement of
the teeth, is the
|
| |
first sign of fluoride poisoning.
Fluorosis is increasing in this |
| |
country, even in non-fluoridated
areas. |
| |
|
|
9. |
There is NO DIFFERENCE in tooth decay
rates in fluoridated and |
| |
non-fluoridated cities. |
| |
|
|
10. |
Fluoride drops and tablets have never
been approved by the FDA |
| |
as safe or effective. |
| |
|
|
11. |
Fluoridation has been rejected, discontinued or
banned throughout
|
| |
the world. Only 5 other
countries fluoridate on a wide scale. |
| |
|
|
12. |
Hip fracture rates in the elderly are
significantly higher in |
| |
fluoridated areas. |
| |
|
|
13. |
Malnourished people, particularly children, are at
greater risk for |
| |
fluoriade's harmful effects. |
| |
|
|
14. |
Fluoride is linked to many health
problems including cancer and |
| |
genetic damage. |
| |
|
|
15. |
It is the right of every citizen to make personal health
decisions.
|
| |
It is a basic right to have our
water supply free of medication. |
| |
No one should
be forced to take a prescription dose of fluoride |
| |
because public, professional, or political organizations
demand it. |
