Everything should be taken in moderation.
It's good to be aware of such worldwide concerns. And it's a fact
that cancer is the top killer..... What causes cancer? What
accelerates the causes of cancer? Lots of things.
I want to know why does the Singapore government still include
fluoride in our water.... and hasn't made the effort to warn us
about the dangers... Is it becuz these consumer companies are
contributing way too much to our economy... and thus, government
just keep quiet, since 'anything in small amounts' is ok? Fluoride
has a culmulative effect... and eventually, some unfortunate people
would suffer from too much of it...
Causes of harm caused by fluoride have in the past, been brought to
court. In what was believed to be the first of many such cases,
Colgate-Palmolive made a 1,000pounds "goodwill"
payment to the parents of a 10 year old boy in Essex, England, who
suffered from dental fluorosis (mottled and/or stained enamel) the
first visible sign of fluoride poisoning
American Dental Association:
No Fluoride for Bottle-Fed Infants
In a little-noticed but dramatic turnaround, the nation's leading
fluoride advocate, The American Dental Association (ADA), issued an
alert on November 9th urging parents to avoid fluoridated water
when reconstituting infant formula, warning that "Infants less than
one year old may be getting more than the optimal amount of
fluoride if their primary source of nutrition is powdered or liquid
infant formula mixed with water containing fluoride."
The dentists are worried that fluoride exposure at this age will
permanently damage teeth, not protect them. A growing body of
research also links fluoride to weakened bones, reduced thyroid
activity, and possibly bone cancer in boys.
The advice, however, has gone largely unheeded. Nursery Water, the
nation's leading fluoridated water for babies still markets its
product nationwide at Wal*Mart and other major retailers.
SO BE WARNED.
