HEALTH ALERT: FLUORIDE WARNING FOR INFANTS

Health authorities now agree that fluoride should not be given to infants.  Health Professionals, water districts, and the media need to work cooperatively to deliver this information to parents and caregivers so they can protect their children.

On November 9th, 2006, based on a National Research Council (NRC) report:

(1) the American Dental Association (ADA) warned that fluoridated water should not be mixed into concentrated formula or foods intended for babies one year and younger in order to avoid moderate dental fluorosis (white, yellow or brown stains affecting the tooth surface)

(2)On December 15, 2006, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) stated that using fluoridated water for infant formula may influence a child’s risk for developing enamel fluorosis

(3) According to the CDC, 32% of American children have dental fluorosis, a significant increase from 23% in the 1980s

(4) The Academy of General Dentistry has cautioned parents to avoid fluoridated water when making infant foods

5) The American Academy of Pediatrics has advised that fluoride not be given to infants 6 months and younger

(6) Fluoridated water (1 ppm) has 250 times more fluoride thanoccurs naturally in human breast milk (.004pm)

(7) The Environmental Working Group analyzed government data in March 2006, and found that babies are overexposed to fluoride in most major U.S. cities. In Boston, over 60% of formula-fed infants are over the safe fluoride exposure level

(8) On November 2006, the respected medical journal The Lancet described fluoride as an “emerging neurotoxic substance” due to evidence linking fluoride to lower IQs in children, and brain damage in animals

(9) In March 2006, the National Research Council reported that fluoride is an “endocrine disrupter” which may interfere with the normal activity of the thyroid and pineal glands

10)  May 2006 Harvard study found a significant link between fluoridated water and bone cancer in boys

(11) Common household water filters do not remove fluoride; and unlike chlorine, which steams off when water is boiled, fluoride becomes more concentrated.

'The Fluoridation Fraud'

A succinct and shocking snippet from a radio interview between Mr Glenn S.R. Walker** and Ms Judy-Ann Steed . 

Broadcast from a  Melbourne suburban community radio station.

  "  Glen Walker: This is what is added to Melbourne's water supply; the information comes from the Minister for Environment and Conservation of Victoria, October 2000. This is what goes annually into our water, and you people, as walking waste disposals, get rid of this:

     Fluoride -1030 tonnes, and because that corrodes the pipe, it makes the water acidic;

        They add:

      Lime - 2070 tonnes.  This turns the water into a turbid state; it goes all dirty. 

         So they add: 

      Alum - 1070 tonnes.  This is Aluminium Sulphate, considered at the moment to be the           cause of Alzheimer's;

        and then they add:

     Chlorine - 550 tonnes;

        and

      Sodium Hydrochloride - a few tonnes.

All that stuff is added because they added Fluoride and that's the Shandy people are drinking.  They're kidded that Melbourne's water supply is a wonderful, clean supply.  It used to be.  But that's what goes into the water now."

** Glen Walker (previous Chairman of the Anti-Fluoridation Association of Victoria, and author of the book 'Fluoridation: Poison on Tap') is the inspiration behind The Australian Fluoridation News.   He passed away peacefully, at the age of 95, on 30th June 2009 shortly after this (excerpt) interview.
