And this, says Christopher Bryson, author of <i>The + Fluoride Deception</i>, has been the case from the start.<o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>When <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City + w:st="on">Newburgh</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">NY</st1:State></st1:place>'s + water was fluoridated nearly 60 years ago, it was more a test to see if + fluorine would hurt people than to see if it would stop cavities. Mr. Bryson + traces the whole scandal, using recently declassified US Army and other + genuinely embarrassing government documents. <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Fluoride pollution, much + of it a byproduct of WW II nuclear weapons manufacturing, had opened industry + and government to lawsuits. Fluoridated water was engineered to be an + antidote to liability as much as to dental decay.<o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Fluoridation rode a wave + of politicized science, the dark side of which was the nuclear arms race. + According to Bryson's publisher, "Documents discovered in the files of + the Manhattan Project connect the atomic bomb program with the 1945 public + experiment compared the teeth and health of the children of Newburgh with + that of fluoride-free neighboring Kingston. It was the most significant of + the early water fluoridation trials, purporting to demonstrate fluoride's + safety in low doses. The top <span class=GramE>scientist</span> who oversaw + the <st1:place w:st="on">Newburgh</st1:place> experiment, and the leading + voice promoting water fluoridation, issuing reassurances of fluoride's safety + in low doses, was Dr. Harold Hodge. Hodge is regarded as the dean of the + science of toxicology in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">United + States</st1:country-region></st1:place>. While selling fluoride to + children, he was simultaneously head of the Division of Pharmacology and + Toxicology for the Manhattan Project, charged with protecting the government + from worker and community lawsuits for fluoride damage. Showing that fluoride + was safe in low doses reduced the risk of lawsuits against the bomb + program."<o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Blanket and blatant + reassurances about safety is nothing new to the military. If you have ever + viewed the documentary movie entitled <i>The Atomic Café</i>, you have seen + actual U.S. Army film footage showing soldiers, shielded only by their cotton + uniforms and a G.I. helmet, walking straight towards a still-rising mushroom + cloud from an atomic detonation just a few miles away. It hardly ended there; + from 1942 until the 1980’s, uranium was added to the materials in dentures. + No doubt this was to help Grandpa see them in the dark when he craved a + midnight snack. Sounds pretty odd, doesn't it. Uranium in dentures. How very + silly, we now say. Yet to this day, the American Dental Association, the FDA, + and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control all maintain that mercury, a toxic + heavy metal, is perfectly safe to have drilled into your living teeth. (1, 2, + 3) <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Not surprisingly, they + also all support fluoridation of water.<o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>History is stranger than + fiction, and just as subject to revision. For decades, <span class=SpellE>fluoridationists</span> + declared that teeth were strengthened from within by fluoride; it was + supposedly a systemic, nutritional benefit. It is not. Fluoride weakens bone, + increases incidence of bone cancer, and increases fracture rates. (</span><span + style='font-size:11.0pt'><a + href="http://www.doctoryourself.com/osteoporosis.html"><span + style='font-family:Arial'>http://www.doctoryourself.com/osteoporosis.html</span></a></span><span + style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>) <o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Today the + "authorities" have quietly flip-flopped, and now claim that dilute + fluoride has a topical, perhaps bactericidal effect. Think about that for a + moment. If fluoride has that kind of killing power at just a few parts per + million, what are doctors doing wasting their time writing antibiotic + prescriptions? Forget the <span class=SpellE>Cipro</span>: Why not just tell + patients to drink more tap water? If fluoride is that powerful, imagine the + effect on the rest of the body. Indeed, fluoride is the most chemically + reactive of all naturally-occurring elements. When Linus Pauling originated + the four-point electronegative scale, fluorine was and remains the one and + only top scorer with a perfect 4. All other elements are weaker. And this is + the element you drink, without prescription, in doses that vary with how + thirsty you may be on a given day.<o:p></o:p></span></p> + <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Most of the <st1:place + w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region></st1:place> + is now fluoridated.
