• NRC’s Findings

  The National Research Council’s report concluded that EPA’s safe drinking water standard (4 ppm) for fluoride is unsafe and “should be lowered.” The NRC based this conclusion on its finding that EPA’s 4 ppm standard places a person at increased risk for both tooth damage (severe dental fluorosis) and bone damage (bone fracture). While most of the press coverage of the NRC report focused […]

• NRC Delivers Wake Up Call on Fluoride

  WASHINGTON D.C. – A National Research Council (NRC) report on fluoride toxicity released today gives powerful evidence that many Americans are being over-dosed with harmful levels of fluoride. A wide range of health problems are cited in the report, with bones and teeth being the foremost, but not sole, targets of concern. The current “maximum contaminant level” for fluoride, […]

• Fluoride & the Pineal Gland: Study Published in Caries Research

Finally, the first half of the work that was the subject of Jennifer Luke’s Ph.D. thesis; presentation in Bellingham, Washington (ISFR conference) in 1998 and a videotaped interview I had with her, has been published in Caries Research. In my view this work is of enormous importance and […]

• Melatonin & Breast Cancer

  I have just received a fascinating piece of snail mail from June Allen, who with her husband Dr. Phillip Allen,  runs a group called Enviro-Health Concerns. She has pulled out some quotes which point to a possible connection between melatonin levels and breast cancer, and ties this back to the important work of Dr. Jennifer […]

• Sodium Fluoride Allowed in New Organic Standards

  Despite the fact that Sodium Fluoride “is a persistent, non-degradable poison that moves through the environment and accumulates in the soil and organisms” (Waste Not #461) the USDA is allowing for its use in the new National Organic Standards which are nearing completion. We need to act now to ensure that organic food production does not contribute […]
