or
the correlation debate has continued now for more than six decades
those who are prepared to read the arguments with an open mind
will quickly find that fluoridation as a poor medical practice
is unethical
illegal
unnecessary
ineffective
and poses clear health risks for which there is no adequate margin of safety
for those who concern for david water
these issues are covered in great detail in the recently published book
the case against four eyed
by doctor paul comment
doctor james beck
and dr h ethnic one
however
those who examined this debate will quickly come across too
infamous quotes
used both by fluoridation proponents
and by journalists or only prepared to review the issues superficially
one quote is meant to impress
and the other is meant to ridicule
these two quotes are used again and again
hardly a day goes by anymore that we don't read these quotes in a written
article
or steven used in a video report on fluoridation somewhere in the world
as propaganda they are widely used
especially by those who do not studied the issue carefully
are they true
do they have some real meaning in the florida bay
let's take a look at the origins of both
and find out
the c_d_c_ had stated tax fluoridation is one of the top ten public health
achievements of the twentieth century
alters who used that quote are guilty of failing to carefully checked both the
objectivity
and the credentials of the authors of the statement
most you the quote
as if it were an all-inclusive and authoritative statement from the centers
for disease control
and prevention
needing no further explanation
yet nothing
could be further from the truth
the information used to make this quote comes from the april second
and october twenty second nineteen ninety-nine additions of
morbidity
and mortality weekly report
a publication that is distributed by the u_s_ department of health
and human services
vehicle second article
ten great public health achievements united states
nineteen hundred to nineteen ninety nine
if simply a listing of these achievements with
fluoridation of drinking water included
the october twenty second article is the supporting documentation for including
fluoridation in this list
the morbidity and mortality weekly report
if c_d_c_'s official in the house journal
it is fed up to publish articles about cdc activities
projects and policies
its contents are prepared entirely by cdc staff
it does not publish any article
that questions or runs counter to official cdc policies
and positions
despite its importance to long-term national health trends
non of morbidity and mortality weekly reports contents are independently
peer-reviewed
the october twenty second nineteen ninety nine report and morbidity
and mortality weekly report
was written by two members of the oral health division
at the c_d_c_
dot tomar an educator and dentist
who had not published any papers on fluoridation before
and susan griffin
an economist
neither writer possessed credentials in toxicology
analogy which is critical fourth i think the dangers posed by the long-term
ingestion up fluoride
in the vast majority of cases
the only cdc employees to assess fluoridation related research
and make statements on water fluoridation
are members of the oral health division
which consist of approximately thirty people
out of the fourteen thousand employees at this huge federal agency
most of these government professionals have little or no training in toxicology
or specialized areas of medicine
their qualifications are largely dental
and their mission is clearly to fell asleep remote fluoridation across the
nation
sadly most members of the public the media
and the medical community are blissfully unaware of this
and take their word on fluoridation as the absolute docile
but their word on this issue is neither authoritative nor objective
since the publication of the nineteen ninety nine cdc article
a large number of research articles have been published about the long-term
adverse affects of fluoride
as well as other studies which have put the effectiveness of fluoridation into
considerable question
be studies
that made the nineteen ninety nine cbc statement completely obsolete
yet it is millions by forward promoters
as if it were published only yesterday
it can be strongly argued
that a purse the jets agencies such as the cdc
find it very difficult to break down from such lofty rhetoric
without losing face
and credibility
water fluoridation has claimed to have been the single most important factor
for reducing dental cavities in the united states
not only is this statement not true
the flame dramatic reduction in cavities
has been noted and reported by the world health organization
for other nations that have not practiced for days shin at all
w_h_ owed data that is freely available online
easily dispels the morbidity and mortality weekly reports assumption
that water fluoridation must be largely responsible
for the declining carries in the u_s_
clearly
there are other factors at work here
in nineteen fifty-one when the u_s_ public health service strongly promoted
fluoridation
doctor frank bull wisconsin state dental director
and velez fluoridation promoter
was quoted as saying
when you got to thinking suddenly something has come up in the picture
that has the possibility of knocking out
two-thirds of the democratic appear in population
you were talking about the prevention up more decatur home than the entire dental
profession
has been able to repair
yet despite over sixty years of water fluoridation
dental became remains our national dilemma
in fact
two-thirds of low-income adolescents
aged twelve to nineteen years old
had to decay
and dental became rate
that recently increased in america's poplars who worked to
to five years old
arguably the most four dated individuals in our population
and in recent years
more dental schools have been opened
and more dental professionals have been created in order to respond
to a national epidemic of untreated tooth decay
yet the c_d_c_ ignores these facts and continues to promote fluoridation
to the exclusion of more logical
and directed dental programs
much of the evidence cited by tomar and griffin for the safety of fluoridation
was taken from a nineteen ninety three
review by the national research council
the finance references it contains
were already six years old when they were used in the nineteen ninety nine
morbidity and mortality weekly report article
the national research council has sense published a new and groundbreaking
analysis
in two thousand six
that severely questions the wisdom of placing fluoride
and our drinking water
yet the c_d_c_ which enthusiastically acknowledged the nineteen ninety-three
n_r_c_ report
refuses to acknowledge the importance of the conclusions and the two thousand fix
n_r_c_ report
from the very same organization
why
because the two thousand six report casts very serious scientific doubt
on the wisdom of continuing fluoridation
indeed
chapter two in this report indicates that found
subsets of the population
including bottle fed infants
are already exceeding the maximum dose considered safe
by the environmental protection agency
instead of playing the role of public health watchdog as was originally
intended
the c_d_c_ aural helped division has now become are very strong promoter app
fluoridation
this represents a serious
and profound public health threat
forget the c_d_c_ is not willing to review health concerns
about fluoridation and fluoride exposure fairly
and objectively
what other public health threat at the c_d_c_ also ignoring
now let's take a look at the second infamous quote
here we are not
liquidation
ever more and more interesting config
endangers commoner plot where ever had different
most citizens had never heard of the c_d_c_ enhanced journal
morbidity and mortality weekly report
but many will quickly recognized
that this quote comes from film director stanley q briggs nineteen sixty four
black comedy masterpiece doctor strangelove
in the film
general jack the ripper
the commander of burp wilson air force base
a repository of nuclear weapons
is depicted as a leader who has developed a psychological mania with
dire consequences for the world
director q brick enhances represents lane actions
by showing that he is obsessed with communist conspiracy plot
that were well-known during the so-called red scare of the nineteen
fifties
one of those plots
what the policy of fluoridation
fluoridation was frequently associated with the john birch society
a right wing organization considered to be extremist in their beliefs
and very active during that period
borchers as they were called
considered all manner of social problems to be perpetrated by the end filtration
of communist philosophies into the fabric of america
to be called the berkshire in the media
was associated with an image of being crazy or obsessed
fluoride propagandists continue to associate people who are opposed to
fluoridation
even highly qualified scientists and researchers
with general jackal ripper
and with the john birch society to this very day
ironically the policy of fluoridation was not established by the communists
by the u_s_
public health service
in a twist of fate the john birch society was correct
in assuming that the new world totten fluoride
was not good for human health
indeed there have now been twenty-five studies associating lowered i_q_ with
fairly modest exposures to fluoride
when editors commentator's or journalists used the quote from general
jack the ripper while reporting on fluoridation
they or joining a long line of fluoride supporters who use a host of propaganda
techniques
they compare our group of activists
to another group commonly considered by the public to have extreme
or laughable opinions
the type of comparison has been a common political tactic
for a very long time
it is an attitude based upon an emotion
rather than upon scientific research
or common sense
now that you know the context
let's see the entire quote
made by general jack the ripper
straight from the motion picture
mandrake
have you ever seen a comedy the glass of water
i can't say i have
jennica
that's what they're doing
nevermore
and the impact of printing tent camps
unwelcome
lecomba rainwater and not without good reason
and and
hanging on
uh... quiet
seem like i'm getting at
or preferably a reporter
mandrake water sort of long life
several times in the sort of purpose with water
why do you realize that
seventy percent of your daughter
and that human beings
you and i made crash if you were working
to replenish are purchased by the way through it
he began and understand it
commander
ect
the primary have you ever wondered why
agreeing only to stillwater or rainwater only pure grain alcohol
well uh... indicated that you need anything else
have you ever heard of a political were american revision or
yes in fact i have had an engineer
million orders
got your airline
but retention
is the most more interested in config
endangered communist plot where ever had different and
the
so the next time you heard the folder
worn out quotes an a story about fluoridation
you can point out that they never had anyplace
in any rational debate concerning the science involved fluoride
