  • New evidence confirms dentists controlled statements by CDC on fluoridation toxicity concerns

    Ellijay, GA – Swirling questions about conflicts of interest and improper influence grew rapidly today as Freedom of Information Act documents showed that since the 1970s, dental health professionals alone in the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have controlled the agency’s stance supporting water fluoridation. A response to a request for the names and job […]

  • More Propaganda from the CDC

    Dear All, NYSCOF has forwarded to us this story from Health Scout (see below). It is interesting that the author of this piece (Adam Marcus) did get quotes from both sides, and that is good. However when he gave his readers references for more information he gave the CDC site and the ADA site but […]

  • Dow’s Bait and Switch on Sulfuryl Fluoride

    Dear All, A few months ago, on October 4, 2002, we sent out an IFIN bulletin requesting our readers support in fighting a proposal by DOW to get an experimental use permit (EUP) for use of the fumigant sulfuryl fluoride on two food items; walnuts and raisins. The prposed new uise for this fumigant was […]

  • Fluoride: Disposing of Mining Waste Through Your Body

    BRADENTON — August 13 ended Fluoride Awareness Week and promotion of the documentary with numerous health experts and scientists describing examples of many maladies caused by intake of the phosphate mining/fertilizer industry’s hazardous waste. The documentary is available for free viewing on line here. The maladies from this forced pollution of your body include (but […]

  • Kidney: A potential target for fluoride toxicity

    The kidneys are the organ responsible for clearing fluoride from the body. In the process of doing so, the kidneys are exposed to concentrations of fluoride that exceed, by a factor of 50, the concentration of fluoride in human blood. As such, the kidney have long been considered a potential target organ for fluoride toxicity. […]

  • Fluoride as a Cause of Kidney Disease in Humans

    Because the kidney is exposed to higher concentrations of fluoride than all other soft tissues (with the exception of the pineal gland), there is concern that excess fluoride exposure may contribute to kidney disease – thus initiating a “vicious cycle” where the damaged kidneys increase the accumulation of fluoride, causing in turn further damage to […]

  • Fluoride as a Cause of Kidney Disease in Animals

    Because the kidney is exposed to higher concentrations of fluoride than all other soft tissues (with the exception of the pineal gland), there is concern that excess fluoride exposure may contribute to kidney disease – thus initiating a “vicious cycle” where the damaged kidneys increase the accumulation of fluoride, causing in turn further damage to the […]

  • The Problems with Infant Exposure to Fluoridated Water

    Breast milk protects Infants from fluoride: “[P]lasma fluoride is poorly transferred to breast milk and infants thus receive almost no fluoride during breast feeding… The existence of a physiological plasma-milk barrier against fluoride suggests that the newborn is actively protected from this halogen. Hence the recommendation made in several countries to give breast-fed infants fluoride […]

  • Fluoride & Human Health: An Interview with Dr. Kathleen Thiessen

    KATHLEEN M. THIESSEN is a senior scientist at SENES Oak Ridge, Inc., Center for Risk Analysis. From 2003 – 2006, Dr. Thiessen served as a panelist for the National Research Council’s (NRC) review “Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards.” She has extensive experience evaluating exposures, doses, and risks to human health from environmental […]

  • Fluoride’s Effect on Male Reproductive System: Animal Studies

    Over 60 studies on animals (including rats, mice, roosters, and rabbits) have found that fluoride adversely impacts the male reproductive system. These studies have repeatedly found the following effects: (1) decreases in testosterone levels; (2) reduced sperm motility; (3) altered sperm morphology; (4) reduced sperm quantity; (5) increased oxidative stress; (6) and reduced capacity to breed.
