"In March 1944, authorities in the Newburgh area of New York announced that the town's water would be fluoridated. On the day that fluoridation had been scheduled to begin, local health officials were startled to receive complaints about discolored saucepans, digestive troubles and cracked dentures. In fact, the fluoridation equipment had not been ready on time and no changes had been made to the water! But the public's imagination had already been primed. It seems that if you expect symptoms, you just may get them."

" Toxicity is always a question of dose! A mouthful of pure sodium fluoride will kill a rat, but the rodent would have to drink roughly a hundred liters of fluoridated tap water before suffering the same fate if the water had the usual fluoride concentration of 1 part per million."

The ONLY proven problem of fluoride is some discoloring of teeth when excessive amounts are used.


(As a child *I* lived in several areas with natural fluoride. I am almost 75 now, and though I have had cavities in later life, I have all but one of my teeth.)
