More Fluoridation Facts »
- Scientifically advanced and health conscious countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and others, have totally rejected fluoridation.
- There has never been a scientific study in Australia or the world to prove the safety of fluoridation.
- No studies in Australia have proven that fluoridation is perfectly safe for all people.
- Fluoride is a poison that accumulates in your body and one-third of a teaspoonful of sodium fluoride is estimated to be a lethal dose.
- There has been no clinical research which proves fluoride stops dental caries, only clever and persistent propaganda.
- Young children should never use fluoridated toothpaste because they have no control over the amount swallowed. In fact many children eat the stuff because it is enticingly flavoured and coloured.
- Fluoridated toothpaste can contain up to 1500 p.p.m. of fluoride. There is enough in one tube to kill a child!
- Nature knows best - there is virtually no fluoride in mothers' milk. A bottle-fed baby on formula food reconstituted with fluoridated water, receives 700% above N.H. and M.R.C. and W.H.O. suggested maximum safe daily intake of fluoride for babies. Many world medical scientists consider the fluoride intake should be zero.
- The Tasmanian Royal Commission 1968 and the Victorian Inquiry 1980 estimated 10% of children in fluoridated populations will suffer dental fluorosis, ie mottled teeth. The latest research shows 48%.
- The British Medical Research Council and the American Medical Association and the NH and MRC state that dental fluorosis is the first sign of chronic fluoride poisoning. Why is this appalling medical condition tolerated?
- There were over 100 Statutory Declarations claiming harm from fluoridation, some with Doctors' Certificates, sent to the Victorian Inquiry through our Association. Not one person was contacted or examined by the Government Committee and no mention was made in the Report so that the Premier was able to announce that "no harm was reported".
