ADDING FLUORIDE TO CHILDREN'S ICE CREAM?
by Robert Cohen
Yesterday, I received a package from a friend in England.
Inside was an article about a controversial milk additive
that will soon be blended into children's milk, fluoride.
Here's the article:

Children to Get Fluoride in School Milk
(London) The Independent by Sophie Goodchild
21 January 2001
Local authorities are planning to give schoolchildren
"dental milk" which has been treated with fluoride.
A dozen school nursery and infant schools in South Yorkshire,
including those in Barnsley, Doncaster and Sheffield, are to
be targeted by health officials advising headteachers and
governors about the benefits of fluoridisation.
A report by York University, commissioned by the
Government, revealed that 48 per cent of all children are
showing signs of side effects from the chemical.
The plan is to have bottles of fluoride milk specially labelled
which will then be provided to children whose parents have
given written consent.
_________________________________________
Why do children have bad teeth? Government
bureaucrats and medical doctors in Britain are
ignorant of real science. Milk has been called liquid
meat. Scientists have found that excess dietary
protein increases the production of acid in the blood
which is then neutralized by calcium taken from the
skeleton. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,
1995; 61).
Those who decide to add fluoride to milk do not realize that by eating too much protein, even if it contains 1,400 mg of calcium daily,would create a negative calcium balance.
One can lose up to 4% of his or her bone mass each
year because of excess protein. (American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition 1979; 32).
The Journal of Nutrition also reported:
"Increasing one's protein intake by 100% may
cause calcium loss to double."
The American Journal of Epidemiology (1994;139)
revealed that dairy product consumption is associated
with increased risk of hip fractures. Metabolism of
dietary protein causes increased excretion of calcium.
Dentists promote the use of fluoride. The American
Dental Association predicts that cavity rates and tooth
decay will increase if fluoridation ends. Let's examine
whether their is any truth to their well marketed claim.
No increase in cavities was found in Kuopio, Finland
3 years after the discontinuation of water fluoridation.
(Caries Research, Nov-Dec 2000)
Seven years after fluoridation ended in LaSalud, Cuba,
rates of cavity-free children increased dramatically.
(Caries Research Jan-Feb. 2000)
Following the cessation of water fluoridation in East
German cities, a significant fall in caries prevalence
was observed. (Community Dentistry and Oral
Epidemiology, October 2000)
The prevalence of tooth decay decreased over time in
the fluoridation-ended community while remaining unchanged in
the fluoridated community. (Community Dentistry and Oral
Epidemiology, February 2001)
Fluoride is a controversial issue. Those who are
against fluoride use claim that this chemical additive
causes neural, muscular, cellular and skeletal damage.
The greatest irony is that milk may cause what
fluoride adherents claim to be curing. By adding
one poison to a second, the British do-gooders
may be doing more harm than good.
