Cryolite
Cryolie (Sodium Aluminum Fluoride) A little background: “Cryolite is an uncommon mineral of very limited natural distribution. Mostly considered a one locality mineral, although there are a few other minor localities, it was only found in large quantities on the west coast of Greenland. It was used as a solvent of the aluminum rich ore, […]

Cryolite: The Effect of Application and Timing of Kryocide on Fluoride Levels in Wines
Summary; The main purpose of this experiment was to investigate the relationship between various rates and timings of Kryocide applications on a red and a white winegrape variety and possible fluoride levels in finished red and white wines made from those treated grapes. In addition, the efficacy of Kryocide under these new treatment regimes and […]

Kryocide® Advisory on Use of Cryolite to Control Insects on Grapes
Grape Grower Advisory For Control of Insects on Grapes KRYOCIDE® Recent changes in European wine policies, as they pertain to fluoride, have made it more difficult for American wineries to supply the European markets. Restrictions on fluoride residues have been arbitrarily set at less than half those established by the U.S. EPA. This has forced […]

Results of Nebraska Referenda on November 4, 2008
Lobbied by the Nebraska Dental Association and supported by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Nebraska legislature passed a law in April 2008, over the Governor’s veto, to require all Nebraska cities with populations over 1,000 to add fluoride chemicals into water supplies unless cities opt-out by 2010. (See FAN press release) Summary of Nov […]

Naturally Occurring Levels of Fluoride in Fresh Food
Over the past 100 years, the levels of fluoride in foods purchased at the grocery store have increased. The reasons for this increase include: (1) the mass fluoridation of water supplies in some countries, (2) the introduction of fluoride-based pesticides, (3) the use of mechanical deboning processes, and, perhaps, (4) the use of Teflon in […]

Nobel Prize Scientists & Water Fluoridation
At least 13 Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry and Medicine have either opposed fluoridation or expressed reservations about it. These include: Arvid Carlsson (2000, Medicine/Physiology) Giulio Natta (1963, Chemistry), Nikolai Semenov (Chemistry, 1956), Sir Cyril Norman Hinshelwood (Chemistry, 1956), Hugo Theorell (Medicine, 1955), Walter Rudolf Hess (Medicine, 1949), Sir Robert Robinson (Chemistry, 1947), James B.

Communities that Have Rejected Fluoridation Since 2010
Most developed nations, including the vast majority of western Europe, do not fluoridate their drinking water. Cities that do not fluoridate their water include: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Basel, Berlin, Copenhagen, Florence, Frankfurt, Geneva, Glasgow, Helsinki, London, Montreal, Oslo, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Tokyo, Vancouver, Venice, Vienna, and Zurich. Since health authorities in North America have refused to let go […]

Fluoridation vs. Democracy
Over 185 million Americans now drink fluoridated water, a figure that exceeds the number of people in the rest of the world combined that do so. The massive scale of the U.S. fluoridation program is the result, not of popular demand, but of executive fiat. As Dr. James Dunning, of the Harvard School of Dental […]

WHO: Tooth Decay Rates in Fluoridated vs. Non-Fluoridated Countries
The following data from the World Health Organization provides the most recently reported tooth decay rates in 12-old-year children in developed nations. As can be seen, many countries with no water fluoridation at all have lower rates of tooth decay than countries that fluoridate more than 60% of their water. In fact, of the seven countries […]

Teflon Pans: A Source of Fluoride Exposure?
In 1975, Full and Parkins reported in the Journal of Dental Research that boiling water in teflon plans produced a “pronounced increase” in fluoride levels. An excerpt from this study is reproduced below. Teflon is made from fluorinated chemical, and thus the relationship between Teflon use and fluoride contamination of food is plausible. The following […]
