FLUORIDE CAUSES BONE CANCER
What's that you say? There's
fluoride in our drinking water and our toothpaste? Hmmmmmm..... You don't
suppose they're DELIBERATELY trying to harm us do you?
Nah! That would be a conspiracy
theory.
"NEW YORK, April 29
/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Blood fluoride levels were significantly higher in
patients with osteosarcoma than in control groups, according to research
published in Biological Trace Element Research (April 2009). Osteosarcoma, a
rare bone cancer, occurs mostly in children and young adults.
Randhu and colleagues measured
serum fluoride levels in three equal groups of age-matched and sex-matched
patients. Group one had osteosarcoma, group two had non-osteosarcoma bone
tumors, and group three had musculo-skeletal pain.(1)
"Mean serum fluoride concentration
was found to be significantly higher in patients with osteosarcoma as compared
to the other two groups," write Randhu's team. "(T)his report proves
a link between raised fluoride levels in serum and osteosarcoma," they
write.
This reinforces a 2006 published
Harvard study by Bassin showing a link between water fluoridation and
osteosarcoma in young boys.(2)
A 1992 New Jersey Department of
Health study shows osteosarcoma rates higher among young males in fluoridated
vs. unfluoridated regions of New Jersey.(3)
More studies link fluoride to
bone and other cancers but are downplayed or ignored by government
officials.(4)(5)
Bone defects similar to bone
cancer were detected in fluoridated Newburgh, NY children as early as 1955.
Newburgh is home of the first human health fluoridation experiment begun in
1945.
According to Christopher Bryson
in The Fluoride Deception, "A radiologist, Dr. John Caffey of Columbia
University, called the defects 'striking' in their 'similarity' to bone
cancer... and seen more than twice as frequently among
boys in Newburgh as among boys in
nonfluoridated Kingston [the control city]."(6)
In 2006, the prestigious National
Research Council review of fluoride/fluoridation toxicology found a
fluoride/bone cancer link plausible.
"If governments truly want
to save money, stopping fluoridation is a no-brainer. It would save money,
preserve health and teeth," says attorney Paul Beeber, President, New York
State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation.
In 2005, 11 Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) employee unions, representing over 7000 environmental and public
health professionals called for a moratorium on fluoridation programs across
the country and asked EPA management to recognize fluoride as posing a serious
risk of causing cancer in people.(7)
In addition, over 2,430
professionals urge the U.S. Congress to stop fluoridation until Congressional
hearings are conducted, citing scientific evidence that fluoridation, long
promoted to fight tooth decay, is ineffective and has serious health risks. See
