7. FACT 1: The level of fluoride in
mothersโ milk is VERY LOW
The level is 0.004 ppm (NRC, 2006, p.40)
8. A bottle-fed baby in
fluoridated community
(0.7 โ 1.2 ppm) gets
175-300 times more
than a breast-fed baby
9. Biochemistry
n๏ฎโฏ FACT 2: Not one single
biological process in the
human body has been shown
to require fluorideโฆ BUT
10. Biochemistry
n๏ฎโฏFACT 3: Many biological
processess have been shown
to be harmed by fluoride
given a sufficient tissue
concentration
11. n๏ฎโฏ FACT 4: About 50-60% of the
fluoride ingested each day is
excreted in the urine but the rest
accumulates in the bone and
other calcifying tissues. The first
symptoms of fluorideโs poisoning
of the bone and connective tissues
(skeletal fluorosis) are identical to
arthritis.
12. n๏ฎโฏ FACT 5: The chemicals used to
fluoridate are not pharmaceutical
grade but industrial grade waste
products from the phosphate
fertilizer industry
13. n๏ฎโฏ FACT 6: Most countries do not
fluoridate their water, including
97% of Europe
14. 97% of Western European population now
drinks Non-Fluoridated Water
Austria
Belgium
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Iceland
Italy
Luxembourg
Netherlands
Northern Ireland
Norway
Scotland
Sweden
Switzerland
20. n๏ฎโฏ FACT 8: Leading proponents of
fluoridation now admit that
fluorideโs benefit is
predominantly TOPICAL not
systemic (CDC, 1999, 2001)
21. Fluorideโs main benefit is TOPICAL.
It works on the outside of the tooth.
โIts actions primarily are topical for both adults and children."
Centers for Disease Control, 1999
"Fluoride's predominant effect is posteruptive and topical."
Centers for Disease Control, 2001
22. Fluoridation violates common sense
n๏ฎโฏ If fluoride works on the outside of the
tooth why swallow it? Why put it in the
drinking water?
n๏ฎโฏ If you want fluoride brush your teeth with
fluoridated toothpaste and then spit it out.
n๏ฎโฏ This way you avoid exposing tissues that a)
donโt need it and b) may be harmed by it
n๏ฎโฏ And you also avoid forcing it on people who
donโt want it!
23. n๏ฎโฏ FACT 9: Based on dental
fluorosis rates American kids are
being hugely over-exposed to
fluoride โ from water, from
dental products and pesticide and
fertilizer residues on food
24. Context on Dental Fluorosis
Early promoters thought that at 1 ppm F
they could reduce tooth decay and limit
dental fluorosis to 10% of children in
its very mild form.
26. CDC (2010)
Beltrรกn-Aguilar et al. Prevalence and Severity
of Dental Fluorosis in the United States,
1999-2004
41% of ALL American children
aged 12-15 (average from both
fluoridated and non-fluoridated
communities) had dental fluorosis
31. A KEY QUESTION
When fluoride is damaging the
babyโs growing tooth cells
(causing dental fluorosis) what is it
doing to its other developing
tissues?
32. FACT 10: Since 1990โs
extensive evidence has
emerged that fluoride
damages the brains of
animals and humans
33. Over 40 animal studies show that prolonged
exposure to fluoride can damage the brain.
19 animal studies report that mice or rats
ingesting fluoride have an impaired capacity to
learn and remember.
12 studies (7 human, 5 animal) link fluoride with
neurobehavioral deficits
3 human studies link fluoride exposure with
impaired fetal brain development
37 out of 43 published studies show that
fluoride lowers IQ
34. The Harvard review
n๏ฎโฏChoi et al (the team included Philippe
Grandjean) did a meta-analysis of 27
studies comparing IQ in โhighโ versus
โlowโ fluoride villages .
n๏ฎโฏThe study was published in
Environmental Health Perspectives
(published by NIEHS)
35. Harvard meta-analysis of 27 studies
n๏ฎโฏThe Harvard team acknowledged
that there were weaknesses in many
of the studies, howeverโฆ
36. n๏ฎโฏโฆthe results were remarkably
consistent
n๏ฎโฏ In 26 of the 27 studies there was
lower average IQ in the โhighโ
versus low-fluoride villages.
n๏ฎโฏAverage IQ lowering was about 7
IQ points.
37. Promoters claim that the fluoride
levels in the โHigh Fluorideโ villages
were so high that they are not
relevant to fluoridation programs?
n๏ฎโฏTHIS IS NOT TRUE. In nine of the
studies the โhigh fluoride villageโ had
concentrations less than 3 ppm
38.
39. Using 1.8 ppm as our starting point and
using standard regulatory toxicological
procedures - in order to protect all
children (including the most sensitive)
from lowered IQ they should not drink
more than two teaspoons of fluoridated
water per day.
40. Dr. Philippe Grandjean
โFluoride seems to fit in with lead, mercury,
and other poisons that cause chemical brain
drain. The effect of each toxicant may seem
small, but the combined damage on a
population scale can be serious, especially
because the brain power of the next
generation is crucial to all of us.โ (Harvard
Press Release)
47. n๏ฎโฏIn 1949, one year before the US
Public Health Service endorsed
fluoridation, the Sugar Research
Foundation (the Sugar Lobby) said
the purpose of the foundationโs
research was โto find how tooth
decay may be controlled effectively
without restriction of sugar intake.โ
48. The Sugar Lobby then
proceeded to pay
scientists to promote the
benefits of both sugar
and water fluoridation.
49. One of these as Dr. Frederick
Stare, chairman of Nutrition
Department at Harvard. He
said that โCoca Colaโ was a
nutritious drink and for over
40 years campaigned for water
fluoridation
50. Frederick Stare, was one of the
founding members of the
American Council on Science
and Health (ACSH) an
industry funded group, which
has never found a chemical
(including dioxin) it didnโt like!
51. Frederick Stare, was one fo the
โscientistsโ who aggresively
attacked Rachel Carson when
she published her book โThe
Silent Springโ
52. Has North Americaโs obsession
with water fluoridation
contributed to the current
epidemic of OBESITY?
53. The Good News is if we were now
to put the emphasis on
EDUCATION instead of
FLUORIDATION (e.g. the
Childsmile program in Scotland)
we could combine the fight
against TOOTH DECAY with the
fight against OBESITY.
56. The same groups that
support fluoridation
support mercury amalgams

58. For many years
THIMEROSAL was used
as a preservative in
vaccines.
Thimerosal is based on
ETHYL MERCURY i.e.
organic mercury
59. How could any responsible
health official allow the
injection of organic
MERCURY directly into a
babyโs bloodstream?
60. At one point, babies in the
U.S. were receiving a
combined dose of organic
mercury directly into
their bodies, which was
100 times the so-called
โsafeโ level for ingestion!
63. They are using horribly toxic
substances (including
hydrofluoric acid) which is
poisoning the workers and will
eventually poison our water
64. Toxic # 5
Letโs get the halogens
(Fluorine, Chlorine and
Bromine) out of
commercial products (e.g.
PVC)
65. PVC was invented by the
German chemical industry
as a way of getting rid of
excess chlorine

n๏ฎโฏ PVC is 58% chlorine by weight
67. PVC is a source of dioxins
and furans in manufacture,
disposal (incineration) and
accidental fires
68. Dioxins - major health concerns
โขโฏ Dioxins accumulate in animal fat. One liter of cowsโ milk gives
the same dose of dioxin as breathing air next to the cows for
EIGHT MONTHS (Connett and Webster, 1987).
โขโฏ In one day a grazing cow puts as much dioxin into its body as a
human being would get in 14 years of breathing (McLachlan,
1995)!
โขโฏ Dioxins steadily accumulate in human body fat. The man cannot
get rid of them BUT A woman canโฆ
โขโฏ โฆby having a baby!
โขโฏ Thus the highest dose of dioxin goes to the fetus and then to the
new born infant via breastfeedingโฆ
69. Dioxins interfere with fetal and infant
devlopment
n๏ฎโฏ Dioxins act like fat soluble hormones
n๏ฎโฏ Disrupt at least six different hormonal systems:
male and female sex hormones; thyroid hormones;
insulin; gastrin and gluocorticoid.

a five membered ring (the furan) between the two
benzenes of PCBs. There are 135 furans.

83. Nature has been experimenting
with the chemistry of living
things for millions of years
84. Modern chemistry has been in
existence for a mere 200 years.
The thought that we could
improve on natureโs
fundamental designs (DNA etc)
is PREPOSTEROUS!

110. Even if you could make
incineration safe you could
never make it sensible
111. The modern incinerator (or gasifier) is
attempting to perfect a bad idea
n๏ฎโฏ Our task in the 21st Century is not to
find better ways to destroy discarded
materials
n๏ฎโฏ But to stop making packaging and
products that have to be destroyed!
112. Our task
is to convert a
Linear Society into
a Circular Society
123. Our task
is to convert a
Throwaway Society into
a Sustainable Society
124. As far as sustainability is concerned
Every ton of waste that we landfill or
incinerate takes us in the wrong
direction
Whereas, every ton we
Compost,
Reuse,
Recycle, or
Avoid
Takes us in the right direction
