Hydrofluorosilicic acid is the most corrosive substance known and it is transported all over Ireland from its importer in New Ross to be dumped into our drinking water. Dr Masters, in the recent US Dartmouth Study, has shown that hydroflourosilicic acid combine with lead, arsenic and other toxic ions in the body, specifically the neuro-system, leading inter alia to many forms of dysfunctional behaviour. In confusing these chemicals the Department ignores a crucial biological distinction between naturally-occurring calcium fluoride which is ingested through the pancreas to be excreted in the faeces whereas silicofluoride is passed through the kidney as urine. Indeed it was the threat to people with impaired kidney function which persuaded Finland s only fluoridated city, Kuopio, to abandon fluoridation many years ago. This is above all true in Ireland where such studies as there are, have been carried out only by dentists with the sole purpose of justifying the benefits of fluoride in all its forms.
Mottled enamel is health damage and it is very expensive to repair cosmetically.
Whether issued in the 1950s or the 1990s , assurances from the WHO Expert Committee are not based on research so it will surprise no one that Europe has uniformly ignored WHO pronouncements on fluoridation of water. Ireland s dental experts, on the other hand still propound a policy which the rest of Europe dismissed over 20 years ago. Over 60 US cities have discontinued fluoridation since 1990, many after more than 30 years. Dr. A.K. Susheela. It has been repeatedly shown that tooth decay has fallen in non-fluoridated areas just as much as in fluoridated areas, indicating that flouride is not the cause of better teeth.
