Fluoride
Myths and Facts
The
pro-fluoridation crowd has produced a document telling people their
side of
the issue in a very misleading fashion.
They make a claim, such as this, "Fluoridated water is safe
for babies and young
children,"
Under a column called "the
Truth." Then the say what we claim in the next
column. Our purported
claim is generally a brief non-sequitur, designed to make us look
irrational
and lacking in back-up and substance. The next column gives
supporting
points to their "TRUTH."
It
is headed POSSIBLE RESPONSES TO OPPONENT’S CLAIM.
Although
there are many words, there is nothing there
except appeals to authority and the status quo, which are formal
logical
fallacies. Flaunting endorsements from professional
associations is no
substitute for science.
Do you agree this is an outrageous attempt at groupthink?
Instead of investigating the numerous studies and claims that indicate
danger
and harm concerning fluoride in our water, they simply tell you how to
answer.
Do you not feel your intelligence insulted? The word groupthink,
of course, comes from the dystopic novel 1984. In that world,
one of
their main mottoes is Ignorance is Strength. Another
word from
that nightmare novel is doublethink. They
also employ this,
stating that fluoride has been an historic success, meanwhile insisting
we are
in the midst of a dental health crisis! In fact, the areas
of our
population with the greatest fluoride exposure have the most cavities.
Find out who, and what, is really behind the push to stop adding
fluoride to
our water. Also look into who profits from the continuation
of this
practice. If you are really not afraid to be exceptional,
find out what
fluoride even is, chemically and biologically. What is
Fluorine?
Fluoride ion? Calcium Fluoride? Sodium
Fluoride?
Stannous Fluoride? Hydrofluorosilicic Acid?
Follow the links in the document where I present what we really say, in
place
of their absurd cartoon of what they wished we say. Rather
than parroting
the line that all credible scientists endorse fluoride, view some of
the many
research studies that raise red flags. Listen to the many
scientists,
including toxicologists, neurologists, bone specialists,
epidemiologists, and
even Nobel Laureates, who are very loud and clear about this.
Even many
dentists have statements against mass fluoridation. They all
understand
the difference between dose and concentration. Do you?
