Fluoridation does not prevent cavities; it causes cancer and other diseases and lowers IQ
There is an industry lobby with campaign contributions behind the scam and they own there EPA and CDC. ...Your dentist, of course, is brainwashed by the lobbyists.
By Ekaterina Blinova: Robert
F. Kennedy Jr., who has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump
as health and human services secretary, has vowed to remove fluoride
from public water systems in the US if his appointment is approved by
the Senate.
“Fluoride
is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone
cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease," tweeted RFK Jr.
What is Water Fluoridation and Who is Peddling the Practice?
CDC
is part of the US Department of Health and the major agency that has
led water fluoridation since 1975. Its declared goal is to increase the
proportion of US people using fluoridated water.
CDC claims that water fluoridation prevents cavities and saves $6.5 billion in dental treatment costs for the nation annually.
Over 209 million Americans have access to fluoridated drinking water, as per CDC.
It's up to state and local governments to decide whether to fluoridate their community water. According to some estimates, US communities spend over $300 million annually on water fluoridation.
For
its part, CDC: actively propagates water fluoridation across the US;
supports infrastructure in states to promote water fluoridation;
monitors coverage and quality of fluoridation; provides technical
assistance to state fluoridation programs
CDC's
FY2025 budget, requested by President Joe Biden, amounted to $19.7
billion, whereas CDC's department overseeing water fluoridation (Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion) was assigned $1.5 billion, a
9% increase compared to FY2024.
Despite the CDC propagating community water fluoridation, the measure is surrounded in controversies with critics referring to numerous alleged health risks.
While
the CDC claims community fluoridation led to a 25% reduction in
cavities in children, international oral health data shows almost the same level of reduction in cavities in the countries which have not fluoridated their water over the past decades.
According
to the WHO, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of fluoride (over
1.5 mg/L) could cause tooth enamel and skeletal fluorosis.
2024 studies indicated that high exposure to fluoride for pregnant women could be associated with lower IQ in children as well as neurobehavioral problems.
Scientists warn
that it is impossible to control the dose of fluoride each individual
receives when consuming fluoridated water: first, water consumption
varies; second, an average person also receives fluoride from sources
other than the water supply.
Moreover, to fluoridate its water systems, the US uses technically-grade chemicals:
fluorosilicic
acid (H2SiF6; also referred to as hydro fluorosilicate, FSA, or HFS), a
by-product of the manufacture of phosphate fertilizers, which is used
by most US water systems; sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6); and sodium
fluoride (NaF)
A 2014 study
showed that HFS contains arsenic (As) – that could be responsible for
lung and bladder cancer cases – whereas both HFS and NaSF have been
shown to leach lead (Pb).
On
November 22, Florida surgeon general, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, issued
guidance calling to stop adding fluoride to the water supply
On
September 24, a federal district court in California ordered the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate fluoridation of
drinking water to eliminate the “unreasonable risk” to health.
Axios
noted that even if RFK Jr assumes the position of health and human
services secretary, he wouldn't be able to prohibit fluoridation.
However, if the EPA recognizes it as a toxic substance, it could stop
the practice.
