August 21, 2007 - Warrnambool Standard - People Power | Printer Friendly
There were gasps from the crowd when former Australian Dental Association president Dr Andrew Harms said that fluoride contained arsenic, with about 0.4 to 1.6 parts per billion of arsenic in fluoridated water. Speaker David McRae said there was evidence fluoride did little for tooth decay. Mr McRae said Shepparton had fluoride, but the level of tooth decay was worse than in Warrnambool.

Let's start with a local issue, fluoridation. Quite simply, the minority, very vocal Nazi-like zealots who bombard the  Addy  with their selective quotes from dodgy sources are wrong. Even trades hall is questioning its position since it banned fluoridation some 20 years ago and is unlikely to ban it now. Our children deserve to have universally affordable dental care and old fuddy-duddies who scoop their dentures out of a glass each morning should butt out. `Whoopee Do' Michael Crutchfield has correctly assessed the feelings of the majority and the available reliable, authenticated research. Take no prisoners, Michael, and strike a blow for the rest of us.

Several Skagit County professionals have signed a statement released last week urging Congress to stop water fluoridation until congressional hearings can determine whether it is safe for all individuals. One signer on the statement, Helene R. Newbaker, a retired Sedro-Woolley nurse and chiropractic doctor, said she learned in chiropractic school that fluoride can cause deformities in the bone. C. Jess Groesbeck, a Mount Vernon doctor in preventive and alternative medicine, also signed the professionals’ statement. He said fluoride proponents falsely interpret the results of studies done on fluoridated communities.
