NEW YORK, Jan. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Some recent studies
suggest that over-consumption of fluoride can raise the risks of disorders
affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland," reports Scientific
American editors (January 2008). "Scientific attitudes toward fluoridation
may be starting to shift," writes author Dan Fagin.

"Fluoride, the most consumed drug in the USA, 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.

That has to be the wackiest claim / statement I've ever read. Gee, I
wonder why it's an exception for today's youth to have any cavities
while they were so common for the previous generations.

Sounds like some dentist is pissed off over having so few cavities to fill.

In the 1960's the John Birch society claimed that fluoride was a
communist plot because it softened the brain.

How would they know ? None of those ever had a brain.
