The Bone Cancer, Fluoride Connection
|
Dr. Elise Bassin, while working on her PhD in epidemiology at Harvard University, conducted a study that found a significant relationship between fluoride and osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer.
The study found that boys who drank fluoridated water at ages 6-8 were five times more likely to develop the cancer. The water looked at in the study had only a fourth the maximum allowable level of fluoride considered "safe" by the EPA.
These findings contradict those of Bassin's dissertation adviser, Chester Douglass, whose $1.3-million, 15-year study did not find a link between fluoridated water and osteosarcoma. He claimed Bassin's study was a subset of his study, and that he had not been able to replicate Bassin's results.
However, Douglass has received widespread criticism for defending the use of fluoride while a paid editor of the Colgate Oral Care Report, a newsletter funded by the toothpaste maker. Harvard and the National Institutes of Health are investigating whether Douglass misrepresented his research findings.

My mother takes pills for her bones, but they do not tell her the truth, of course. How long will middle-aged and older women continue to think osteoporosis is normal for them?

Gee!
If its not soy its something else!!!
Wangaratta (where I live) has just approved fluoride being put into water. I didn't like it cos if it doesn't come out of the sky with fluoride in it, we shouldn't add fluoride to it. They (the council) just look at me like I had three heads....anyway.

Sigh.... I'm always getting looked at like I have three heads when I try to share stuff like this. Why do so many walk around with no head at all?

My dentist (well, the hygienists) are always looking at me like I have 3 heads as well when I refuse the treatment or tell them I don't WANT to supplement fluoride because we have well water.

Flouride was put into the water supply of the Jewish ghetto's in Germany under Hitler. He did not put flouride in the water supply of the German people. Also Israel adds a higher concentration of flouride to their own water than anywhere else in the world.
Lastly, all the most "progressive" countries in the world, Canada and all of Western Europe, have now stopped adding it to the water becuase of "health risks".
I'm not sure what to make of those facts.

Flouride is evil. When I mentioned to a dentist that we drank mostly bottled water, he said that we should drink tap water, as studies had shown that bottled water was no safer than water from the tap. I replied that bottled water didn't have flouride in it. He countered with, "But you want flouride in your water!" I said, "No, I don't..."
