The Effects of Fluoride on the Thyroid Gland
There is a daunting amount of research studies showing that the widely
acclaimed benefits on fluoride dental health are more imagined than real.
Fluorides are cumulative and build up steadily with ingestion of fluoride
from all sources, which include not just water, but the air we breathe
and the food we eat. With 141 million Europeans now at risk from fluoridation
poisoning, Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield discusses the dangers of fluorides
in general and particular, explains in great detail their highly damaging
effects on the thyroid gland.
Artificial fluoridation of public water supplies was first practised in America in 1945
and was from the outset highly controversial. It has been rejected by most European
countries except for Eire (where it is mandatory); and England, where 5.5 million
people are now medicated, mainly in and around the cities of Birmingham and
Newcastle-on-Tyne. This statement from National Pure Water Association was prepared
for the Rotherham Scrutiny Review held on February 19, 2007.
Very few topics have polarised public and political opinion more sharply
than fluoridation of the water supply. The NPWA's Elizabeth McDonagh discusses
in detail this highly controversial practice over the past 50 years, and
the results are surprising, to say the very least.
With the Government's plans to fluoridate the nation's water supplies,
this critical topic once again enters public consciousness. The NPWA's
Elizabeth McDonagh returns with Part II of this detailed account of the
events surrounding a 1992 Yorkshire consultation.
