Fluoride Facts
Studies show that fluoride in all its uses, including public drinking water, causes cancer:

• The overwhelming evidence shows that fluoridation is causing an increase in bone cancer and deaths among males under 20.
• The growing increase in bone cancer attributable to fluoridation may also be due to an increase in osteosarcoma caused by fluoride.
• The overall preponderance of evidence shows that fluoridation is causing an increase in oral (mouth) cancer among human populations. Don't use fluoride toothpastes, or give your dentist consent to do fluoride gel treatments or use fluoride polishing paste.

Fluoride has been linked to many health problems:

• Bone and oral cancers in animals and humans.
• An ability to inhibit the DNA repair enzyme system.
• It accelerates tumor growth.
• It inhibits the immune system.
• It causes genetic damage in a number of different cell lines and induces melanotic tumors, fibrosarcomas, etc. Other tumors and cancers strongly indicate that fluoride has a generalized effect of increasing them overall. According to our estimates, over 10,000 people in the United States die of cancer each year due to fluoridation of public drinking water.

Hip Fracture Rate Highest in U.S.: Fluoridation of our water is weakening our bones, slowly but surely.
- U.S. National Research Council and Townsend Letter for Doctors.
Fluoride and Osteoporosis: Seniors living in areas with elevated fluoride levels in drinking water suffer up to 41% more hip fractures. In a study of 3,578 senior citizens, those who lived in areas with fluoridated water had a much greater risk of hip fractures.
- Journal of the American Medical Association
Fluoride and Bone Cancer: One study concluded that males under the age of 20 who live in areas with fluoridated water were six times more likely to suffer from bone cancer than males who don't.
- New Jersey Department of Health
The Deadly Costs of Fluoridation: When a claimed 20% decrease in tooth decay is compared to a 600% increase in bone cancer or a 41% increase in hip fractures, when the cost of a tooth filling is compared to the cost of a hip fracture or cancer treatment, it is obvious that the human and economic costs of fluoridation are staggering.
- Health Action Network
Fluoridated Water Increases Bone Cancer Risk: In a study conducted by the New Jersey Department of Health, young men who drank fluoridated water had a higher incidence of bone cancer.
- The Record
Osteoporosis, Calcium and Fluoride: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) gathered a panel of "experts" to discuss the causes of the rising epidemic of bone fractures in the elderly. Although the evidence clearly shows that calcium supplements don't help, and just as clearly shows that fluoride is terrible for the bones, the NIH simply recommended an increase in the recommended daily allowance of calcium.
- The Fluoride Report
The Overwhelming Evidence that Fluoride Weakens Bones: Dr. John Lee showed that "...7 out of 10 recent studies show a clear correlation between bone fractures and water fluoridation. One of these studies involved 560,000 women over 65. The size of this study completely obliterates the few reports of small populations that showed no correlation."
- The Fluoride Report, September, 1994
Fluoride Actually Reduces Bone Strength, Instead of Increasing It!: In a five year study conducted to test fluoride as a treatment for osteoporosis, bone density was actually decreased 45%, therefore causing osteoporosis, rather than preventing it! The doses used were very close to the amount Americans take in over a fifty year span.
- Bone, Vol. 15, 1994
How The EPA is Spending Your Tax Dollars: When Dr. Bill Marcus won back his job with the EPA after being fired for blowing the whistle on the cover-up of fluoride's hazards, the EPA refused to pay interest on his two years of lost wages. While the lawyers haggle, the whole sum is being withheld, and guess who's paying for the EPA's lawyers?
- The Fluoride Report
Fluoridation Accidents Swept Under the Rug: Toxic spills of fluoride in drinking water have happened in several communities, inciting nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and even deaths, but these incidences were never publicized.
- Townsend Letter for Doctors
Why Do Researchers Continue to Support Deadly Fluoridation?: Once accepted, scientific theories become very hard to debunk. Thus, research done on the topic after a theory has been accepted becomes "a strenuous and devoted attempt to force nature into the conceptual boxes supplied by professional education."
- Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
Fluoride, Shocking Facts: Fluoride has never received FDA approval and wouldn't pass if it were subjected to the FDA's standards of safety and effectiveness. It's more toxic than lead by the EPA's standards and accumulates in the body. The maximum allowable lead in drinking water: 0.015 mg/liter; the maximum allowable for fluoride: 4.000 mg/liter.
- Health Action Network
Fluoridation, A Health Violation of Medical Ethics: Fluoride is a pharmacologically active substance unrelated to water purification. There is no possibility of obtaining individual informed consent for medication with this experimental drug when it is placed in a public water system. For these reasons, fluoridation violates the Nuremburg Code of medical ethics and human rights.
- Health Action Network
Fluoride, Industrial Waste: The fluoride in your water is actually toxic waste left over after the manufacture of aluminum and chemical fertilizers.
- Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, Fluoride, the Ageing Factor
Environmental Protection Agency Infighting: EPA toxicologists have long been asking that the standards for water fluoridation be revised, while EPA administrators continue to reject their warnings and have even disciplined employees who have spoken out.
- The Pittsburgh Press
Fluoridation is Big Business: Despite the fact that it doesn't actually prevent tooth decay in children or adults, government officials still devote our tax dollars to fluoridation. Several other countries tried it and stopped when their research showed that the risks far outweighed the benefits. In this country, the big companies that make huge profits from selling this toxic waste material are so powerful that the facts are swept under the rug.

Mohawk Indians' Fluoride Tragedy: In the period from 1960 to 1975, a Mohawk Indian tribe in the Northeast U.S. was all but obliterated by fluoride contamination. Cows, fish and children all suffered from tooth and bone deformities caused by wastes from two major metals manufacturers. (Now all Indian reservations have fluoridated water!)

Use Non-Fluoride Toothpaste: Fluoride in toothpaste is absorbed through the lining of the mouth, and in only one or two brushings, a milligram of fluoride enters your body.
- Health Action Network
Fluoridation Increases Lead Contamination: Fluoride is used to leech lead from plumbing and water mains. In Tacoma, Washington, where lead content of water had risen above EPA limits, fluoridation was halted because of equipment failure. Officials were surprised at the subsequent 50% drop in lead contamination after the halt.
- Letter from C.R. Myrick, Water Quality Coordinator, Tacoma, WA

Highly Publicized Fluoride Studies Show Medical Mistake: The high doses of sodium fluoride used in clinical studies of this drug are known to lead to a condition called osteofluorosis. This means abnormal bone growth and calcification of tendons and ligaments. Although this may help prevent spinal fracture and compression, it also increases risk of hip fracture and causes arthritis-like pain.
- Open letter from John Lee, M.D., to C.Y.C. Pak, M.D., regarding Dr. Pak's study on sodium fluoride in the Annals of Internal Medicine

The Sad, Unnecessary Epidemic of Dental Fluorosis: This disease, marked by tooth enamel malformation, mottled-discoloration and brittleness, affects up to 30% of children living in areas with fluoridated water. Only 10% of children in non-fluoridated locations have dental fluorosis.
- Public Health Service figures
H. Dean Changes His Mind and Retracts Fluoridation Endorsement!: H. Trendly Dean, the original promoter of water fluoridation, admitted under oath in 1955 that fluoride does not work as a remedy for tooth decay.
- Fluoride, Vol. 14, No. 3, July 1981
Study Reveals That Fluoride Causes Tooth Decay: Children in India who drank fluoridated water suffered from significantly more tooth decay than children who did not. Especially at risk were children with very little calcium in their diets.
- The Journal of the New Zealand Pure Water Association
Children Poisoned by Toothpaste: When fluoride toothpaste was first sold in the 1950s, warnings that it should not be used in children under six were eliminated from the package because they damaged sales! When two children in Tacoma, Washington, began to throw up every night before bed, doctors told the parents that their toothpaste was to blame. At last fluoride danger warnings are mandatory on all new fluoride toothpaste labels!
