Strong Evidence Fluoride Causes
Bone Cancer in Young Men …
“Parents should know that fluoride is an extremely active chemical when it gets into our
body. It can interfere with the Pineal Gland. It can interfere with the Thyroid Gland ...
intimately involved with brain development, mental development.”
Dr. P. Connett, PhD, Environmental Chemist
A study published in “Cancer Causes and Control, May
2006” gives strong evidence that boys exposed to
fluoridated water between the ages of 6 and 8 years are
500% to 700% more likely to get osteosarcoma before
the age of 20 than boys drinking non-fluoridated water.
Research in 2009 shows higher blood levels of fluoride in
people with osteosarcoma.
“A real concern with children, especially newborn infants, is that the blood/brain barrier
is not fully developed and children are getting an inappropriate dose of fluoride in the
developing brain, as seen in the depression of IQ in fluoridated communities.”
Dr. William Hirzy, vice-president, EPA Union
Water Fluoridation is
Toxic Waste Disposal …
Water fluoridation is the addition of the chemical fluoride in
the form of hydrofluorosilicic acid or sodiumsilicofluoride.
These are toxic by-products of the phosphate fertilizer industry
which are too toxic to be discharged into the air or dumped
into the sea or rivers. However, they are allowed to get rid of
this waste product if they dilute it into huge amounts of water.
Real facts on
Water Fluoridation
“Nature has devised a system for keeping fluoride away from the infant and we’re
circumventing that ... and there are consequences.”
Dr. V. Howard, Fetal Patho-Toxicologist
“Low-income families cannot afford to avoid fluoridated water and could be at higher
risk for adverse effects from fluoride exposure.”
Dr. Thiessen, PhD, Risk Assessment Scientist
“We have tripled our exposure to fluoride since fluoridation was conceived in the
1940s and research shows we’re getting 300 per cent or more of the American Dental
Association’s recommended daily amount.”
Dr. Limeback, B.Sc., PhD, DDS,
Head of Dentistry, University of Toronto

Our public drinking water is essentially being
used as a toxic waste disposal system.

Only 22 New Zealand Councils out of 67 have any fluoridation.
Only 7 countries have more than 50% fluoridation. Dental decay
has gone down in all countries with or without fluoridation
NZ Councils that have recently
STOPPED water fluoridation:
Hamilton • Central Hawke’s Bay • New Plymouth
Taumarunui • and the Far North

Does water fluoridation
prevent tooth decay?
Studies now link Fluoride to:
Fluoride is not a nutrient.
The original theory behind fluoridation was that it
needed to be swallowed to harden the enamel of teeth
as they were forming. However, all of the top fluoride
promoters now say that fluoride’s primary benefit is
topical rather than systemic. i.e. that it works by applying
to the tooth surface, not by swallowing.

Fluoridation Facts:
• Almost all of Western Europe has rejected
water fluoridation.
• Fluoride is not added to improve water quality.
• Fluoride is a uniquely potent enzyme poison.
• Fluoride levels concentrate with boiling.
• High natural levels of fluoride are a problem in some
countries. India and China remove fluoride from water.
• Animals, especially horses, are also sensitive to fluoride’s
toxic effects.
The American Dental Association and the US Public
Health Services’ Centres for Disease Control advise
that fluoridated tap water is not safe for babies.
According to the NZ Ministry of Health website over
30% of the children living in fluoridated areas have some
form of dental fluorosis. This is a mottling or discolouring
of the teeth.
Just recently the European Union’s Scientific Committee
on Health and Environmental Risks has issued a report
stating that “water containing 0.8ppm or more is not
safe for babies”. The Ministry of Health guideline is
0.85ppm.
Dental Fluorosis is the first outward sign of Fluoride
Poisoning. This is not merely a “cosmetic effect”. What
is showing up on the teeth indicates what is actually
happening internally to skeletal tissue.
Fluoridation remains the only delivery application in the
world (to date) where one drug is administered to entire
populations at one time.
The practice of good pharmacology is to find the
right drug, at the right dose, at the right time for the
individual. This is not achieved nor honoured in the
practice of fluoridating public water supplies.
Fluoridation has NEVER been registered as safe
by any health authority.
Fluoridation does not reduce dental
decay …
All large scale studies show there is very little difference
in tooth decay between fluoridated and non-fluoridated
areas. The latest (internationally published) Australian
study showed negligible benefit to the permanent teeth
from fluoridated water.
NZ Government figures also show no statistically
significant difference. WHO figures for Western countries
show the same 30 year improvement between
fluoridated and non-fluoridated countries.
Pre-European Maori had dental decay occurring in only
1 tooth out of 2000, proving that NZ water does not
need added fluoride to protect teeth.
Bottom line
Water fluoridation is UNETHICAL and therefore
contrary to good public health policies.
Consider this analogy: If you wish to prevent sunburn,
you don’t drink sunscreen lotion. You apply it topically.

Fluoride is not something your body
needs …
No one has a fluoride deficiency. Fluoride is a false magic
bullet solution from a bygone era. Now, 60 years after
water fluoridation began, the word is getting out, that
this stuff is just plain bad.
Babies drinking fluoridated water will be getting up to
250 times more fluoride than breast fed babies.
