Fluoride: The New Lead.read online here< http://www.laleva.org/eng/2010/12/fluoride_the_new_lead.html>originally fromOpEdNewsDecember 12, 2010By Dr Stuart Jeanne BramhallIt took decades to "prove" that even low-level lead exposure caused mental retardation and behavioral problems in children. In 1973 when I graduated from medical school, there was a mountain of compelling evidence of the terrible things lead in paint and auto exhaust was doing to kids. However under pressure from corporate interests (the companies who put lead in gasoline and paint), the medical establishment still officially proclaimed that at "subclinical levels," lead was totally safe.Fortunately Nixon's newly created Environmental Protection Agency stood up to the corporate elite in 1973. Taking the emphatic position that even low-level lead exposure was posing a

direct threat to public health, they ultimately forced the US auto industry (in 1975) to install catalytic converters in cars, to enable them to run on unleaded fuel. The use of lead-based paint in homes was banned in 1978.following are headers:A Regulatory Agency that Refuses to RegulateEstablished Link to Hip Fractures, Bone Cancer and Liver CancerFluoride Declared Hazardous Waste in 1930Fraudulent Scienceread online here< http://www.laleva.org/eng/2010/12/fluoride_the_new_lead.html>
