According to a new research, the fluoride chemicals that are added to the water

supplies allacross the USdo not help reducing the risk of dental cavities.

 

Up until now, water fluoridation has been heavily promoted by the

governmentalagencies as being a positive and efficient process, which helps with

the fightagainst tooth decay in children and adults.

 

The findings of the research have been made public by theNYSCOF — New York

State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc.

 

The Rural Health ResearchCenter of the West Virginia Universityhas reported some

important facts. Children living in the urban areas of the US whoconsume

fluoridated water and who have access to better dental care,have approximately

the same number of decayed teeth as children who live inpoorer areas across the

nation (who do not have access to fluoridated waterconsumption).

 

On the other hand, the CDC (Centers for Disease and Control)states that water

fluoridation reduces the risk of tooth decay. Even so, plentyof recent studies

have proved exactly the opposite: that water fluoridationdoes not play any role

in the reduction of dental decay risk.

Beeber, who is the President of the NYSCOF, says thatthere are a lot of

money spent on water fluoridation systems nationwide. Thismoney is basically

thrown out the window, because as these important studiesreveal, fluoridation

fails to help with the prevention of cavity formation.Moreover, through water

fluoridation, organizations expose the children to theadverse health effects of

fluoride ingestion.

 

There are currently millions of dollars spent every singleyear on fluoridation

systems around the NYC area alone. The NYS Dental JournalJune/July issue of

2011, has revealed that the Chinese American childrenbetween 2 and 11 years old

who live in Chinatown (Manhattan) do struggle with a much higheroccurrence of

dental decay compared to white children and children from otherminorities on a

national level. As many as 63% of the Chinese American childrendo have primary

tooth decay, compared to only 38% of children nationally.

 

Currently, the anti-fluoridation organizations and entitieswant to enforce new

legislature that will help stopping fluoridation in the NYCarea. According to

F. Vallone, Jr. who is a chief sponsor, there hasalready been clearly

proved that fluoridation poses harm for the health, andthis process must be

stopped.
