Is the Fluoridation Movement Expanding?

Posted By Dr. Mercola | March 25 2006 | 2,381 views

Local UK governments are currently deciding whether or not to begin fluoridating their water supplies as a method of preventing tooth decay.

Opponents of the plan argue that there is evidence connecting fluoridation to bone problems, arthritis, Alzheimer's, cancer and other illnesses.

Currently, most of Western Europe has abandoned fluoridation over concerns about side effects and a lack of evidence for its effectiveness. About 98 percent of Europe is free of fluoridated water.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

As you know, fluoride is becoming a hot button topic in America. While some health "experts" celebrate the anniversary of fluoridation, others are trying to rid their local water systems of this toxic chemical. That same tug-of-war is beginning in the UK.

Although all but four countries in Western Europe are free from fluoridation, some towns are being manipulated into considering adding it to their water supply.

They believe the lie that fluoride in the water will alleviate tooth decay among children. The cause of tooth decay is not a fluoride deficiency but poor dietary and dental hygiene habits.

If these statements contradict your beliefs about fluoride I would encourage you to carefully review the evidence. You can start by taking a look at What Your Dentist Isn't Telling You About Fluoride.

In addition to the problems associated with fluoride listed above, it can also cause:

The formation of antibodies in blood
Genetic disorders
Children with lower IQs

If you have any doubt fluoridation is useless and health-harming, some EPA unions called for a moratorium on such programs last year and have asked the government agency to acknowledge the cancer risks of fluoride.
