The Water Fluoridation Controversy: Is your drinking water safe?- Mustard Seed Market
This lecture will present a brief history of water fluoridation in Ohio and
its cities. Reasons why fluoridation never should have been initiated and
reasons why we should have terminated fluoridation will be shown. Special
emphasis will be placed on recent scientific studies associating fluoride in
water to IQ loss in children. I have calculated the “margin of safety” of
fluoride in our drinking water required to protect all our children from any IQ
loss (based on data from Harvard School of Public Health publication). The
effects of fluoride in our drinking water on our bones will be revealed.
Having investigated the history and science of water fluoridation for more
than 10 years, I am convinced that this controversy will exist as long as we
continue to fluoridate our water. Future studies regarding the harms of
fluoride ions will be published in scientific journals by scientists in
non-fluoridating countries. The politics of water fluoridation in the USA
discourage meaningful investigation of the damage fluoride ions cause to our
living tissues.
