Fluoridated Water

Fluoridated Water 'Causes Cancer' Boys At Risk From Bone Tumors, Shock Research Reveals

Fluoride in tap water can cause bone cancer in boys, a disturbing new study indicates, although there is no evidence of a link for girls.

New American research suggests that boys exposed to fluoride between the ages of five and 10 will suffer an increased rate of osteosarcoma - bone cancer - between the ages of 10 and 19.

In the UK, fluoride is added to tap water on the advice of bodies such as the British Dental Association. The Department of Health maintains that it is a cost-effective public health measure that helps prevent tooth decay in children.

About 10 per cent of the population, six million people, receive fluoridated water, mainly in the Midlands and north-east, and the government plans to extend this, with Manchester expected to be next. About 170 million Americans live in areas with fluoridated water.

The increased cancer risks, identified in a newly available study conducted at the Harvard School of Dental Health, were found at fluoride exposure levels common in both the US and Britain. It was the first examination of the link between exposure to the chemical at the critical period of a child's development and the age of onset of bone cancer.

Although osteosarcoma is rare, accounting for only about 3 per cent of childhood cancers, it is especially dangerous. The mortality rate in the first five years is about 50 per cent, and nearly all survivors have limbs amputated, usually legs.

Ah yes, lovely, lovely Flouride. Used to make prisoners more docile in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. Also, a lot of research pertaining to the CNS properties of Flouride happened in the 1940's and 1950's in the US, but all of it is highly classified.

At least Belgium has the right idea.

Be wary of fluoridated water and toothpaste, it could be killing you, or even "brain-washing" you, to a certain extent.
