New Study Fails to Refute Fluoride-Osteosarcoma Link
A paper in the Journal of Dental Research by dentist Chester Douglass and colleagues, “An Assessment of Bone Fluoride and Osteosarcoma,” claims to show no association between fluoride bone levels and osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. However, Douglass’ study has serious scientific flaws and is incapable of disproving a previous study which linked water fluoridation to osteosarcoma.

Summary of 2011 Fluoride Research
Evidence of fluoride’s detrimental effects on the brain and central nervous system continues to mount. At least four more studies finding a link between fluoride exposure and decreased intelligence (IQ) of children were published this year, putting the total number of such studies at 25.

Water Fluoridation Challenged: Researcher Cites Decline in Tooth Decay Before Programs Began
Fluoridation of water, long credited with the large decline in tooth decay in much of the world during recent decades, might actually have played only a minor role, an Australian public health researcher has concluded after reviewing many previous studies. However, an official of the American Dental Association challenged the interpretation, asserting that many studies […]

Dartmouth researcher warns of chemicals added to drinking water
In a recent article in the journal NeuroToxicology, a research team led by Roger D. Masters, Dartmouth College Research Professor and Nelson A. Rockefeller Professor of Government Emeritus, reports evidence that public drinking water treated with sodium silicofluoride or fluosilicic acid, known as silicofluorides (SiFs), is linked to higher uptake of lead in children.

Fluoridation Chemicals Have Not Been Safety Tested – Here’s the Proof
Investigations by the National Pure Water Association in England have revealed that — as in the U.S. — the chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water in England have never been tested for safety.

Fluoride Pollution from Phosphate Industry in Polk County, Florida
Between 1953 and 1964, an estimated 150,000 acres of cattle land were abandoned as a result of the phosphate industry’s fluoride pollution, and 25,000 acres of citrus groves in the county were damaged. Truck crops were lost, and the commercial gladiolus industry in an adjacent county was blighted. In the seven-year period between 1953 and 1960, the cattle population of Polk County dropped 30,000 head.

The Phosphate Fertilizer Industry: An Environmental Overview
1. Introduction They call them “wet scrubbers” – the pollution control devices used by the phosphate industry to capture fluoride gases produced in the production of commercial fertilizer. In the past, when the industry let these gases escape, vegetation became scorched, crops destroyed, and cattle crippled. Today, with the development of sophisticated air-pollution control technology, […]

Aluminum Industry & Fluoride “Science”
Manipulative techniques in defense of technology are limitless. The aluminum industry has refined an ancient one: the lie. The liar can patch up a balky technology faster than an engineer.

The Ecological Aspect of Fluoride
Presented at the 4th Annual Conference of International Society for Fluoride Research, The Hague, 10/24-27/71. It is a great honor to be asked to present the Opening Address at this, the 4th meeting of the International Society for Fluoride Research. I chose “The Ecological Aspect of Fluoride”, because I believe that such an appraisal is […]
