New Year’s January issue of the journal “Scientific American” highlights the findings of some recent studies suggesting that over-consumption of fluoride can raise the risks of disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland.
“Scientific attitudes toward fluoridation may be starting to shift,” writes author Dan Fagin in the journal “scientific American”.
“Fluoride, the most consumed drug, is deliberately added to 2/3 of public water supplies theoretically to reduce tooth decay, but with No scientifically valid evidence proving safety or effectiveness,” says Lawyer Paul Beeber, President, New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation.
Dan Fagin, award-wining environmental reporter and Director of New York
University’s Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program, writes,
“There is no universally accepted optimal level for daily intake of Fluoride“. Some researchers even wonder whether the 1 mg per liter added into drinking water is too much.
