New Scientific Review: ‘No Evidence’ Water Fluoridation Prevents Cavities
A new and highly-needed scientific review has found that there’s no real evidence linking water fluoridation with cavity prevention, further proving that the IQ-damaging substance known as sodium fluoride truly does not have a place in our water supply.
It was back in 2012 that I shared with you the results from a major Harvard study that revealed the dark relationship between IQ levels and sodium fluoride consumption. Specifically, the Harvard researchers detailed the fact that children who lived in areas with high sodium fluoride content had ‘significantly lower’ IQ than those in areas with less added fluoride content. What’s more, this research was published in a federal government medical journal known as Environmental Health Perspectives.
The researchers from Harvard specifically stated:
“The children in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ than those who lived in low fluoride areas.”
Remember, this was back in 2012. So why has almost nothing changed? A particularly valid question when we note that in 2011, the government actually called for ‘lower fluoride levels’ amid a growing body of research that it was negatively affecting the health of Americans.
Fast forward to April of 2015, and finally the federal government decides to lower fluoride levels for the first time in 50 years. A monumental event in the history of water fluoridation and public health.
Now, in June of 2015, another landmark study has hit: sodium fluoride in the water supply isn’t even preventing cavities! Now is the time to make this a well-known study, instead of a footnote buried within the latest news feed. After all, it’s huge news that this information is finally being displayed by the mainstream media after years of anti-fluoride activists enduring the label ‘conspiracy theorist.’
Let’s look at the piece by Newsweek entitled “Fluoridation May Not Prevent Cavities, Scientific Review Shows,” which states:
“The review identified only three studies since 1975—of sufficient quality to be included—that addressed the effectiveness of fluoridation on tooth decay in the population at large. These papers determined that fluoridation does not reduce cavities to a statistically significant degree in permanent teeth, says study co-author Anne-Marie Glenny, a health science researcher at Manchester University in the United Kingdom. The authors found only seven other studies worthy of inclusion dating prior to 1975. “
Thomas Zoeller, a scientist at UMass-Amherst who played a role in the study, breaks it down:
“I had assumed because of everything I’d heard that water fluoridation reduces cavities but I was completely amazed by the lack of evidence,” he says. “My prior view was completely reversed.”
The fact is that the science is quite clear: true independent scientists that study the safety and effectiveness of sodium fluoride in the water supply simply cannot believe the lack of both safety and effectiveness. This latest study is just another example of how sodium fluoride’s so-called ‘effectiveness’ in the water supply is not based on solid scientific reasoning, but rather political pressure to assert the ‘cavity-preventing’ benefits of water fluoridation.
These ‘benefits,’ however, never existed when it comes to water fluoridation. What does come from adding sodium fluoride into our water is a much more dangerous result: an attack on human IQ and overall health.
Plenty of evidence it is very harmful to humans
This all depends on how you pick your studies. Harvard published one a number of years ago that showed postmenopausal women that consumed 8 parts per million of fluoride daily were LESS prone to osteoporosis, but you don’t see the ‘natural’ websites broadcasting this.
Another thing to remember is that fluoride is cheap, so some of the anti-fluoride rhetoric that’s out there is ‘pushed’ by the pharmaceutical companies that don’t make any money from it.
Ever notice that folks who pump out the company line never allow their identity discosed? You wouldn’t be a troll right? Because poison is cheap does not make it good to treat people with it. And, what was that correct dose for osteoporosis? Amazing, I did not know it was due to a shortage of floride.
Calcium supplementation by itself is not sufficient; phosphorous is the important ingredient. Lots of poorly designed studies, even from ‘prestigious’ outfits.
As to your comment about ‘poison’, talk to any pharmacologist and they will say any chemical is a poison in enough concentration.
BTW, troll must have some new meaning to you.
Nice try. Your original post was defending fluoridation. Your suggestion was that it was good for postmenopausal women. It is poison. No one knows the safe dose. The US has now lowered the recommended amount to be added to the water supply. It should be eliminated altogether. It’s worse than useless. Your tooth paste tube warns you not to swallow it – because it contains fluoride. Stop swallowing.
Please keep things in proportion…Chemtrails are the real danger…
What is new? More pertinently who is paying for this toxic additive to the mains’ water supply. Try bringing this mass medication feature to the Health Secretary to see what happens?
All halides compete for iodine receptors. Fluoride and chlorine are halides. Not good.
The only halide that belongs in the human body is iodine.
@RO. I agree. Check your bread some time. They now add bromine, another nasty halide. In the past our salt and bakery products had iodine. It’s especially needed in the great lakes states where you don’t get enough iodine naturally. We supplement with Survival Shield.
