Thought this might interest some of you... I got rid of this stuff

from my house 4 months ago and want to pass the info on.

Prominent Researcher Apologizes for Pushing

Fluoride

by Barry Forbes

" Why'd you do it, Doc? Why'd you toss the fluoride

folks overboard? "

I had just tracked down Dr. Hardy Limeback, B.Sc.,

Ph.D in Biochemistry,

D.D.S., head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry

for the University

of Toronto, and president of the Canadian Association

for Dental Research.

(Whew.)

Dr. Limeback is Canada's leading fluoride authority

and, until recently, the

country's primary promoter of the controversial

additive. In a surprising

newsmaker interview this past April, Dr. Limeback

announced a dramatic

change of heart.

" Children under three should never use fluoridated

toothpaste, " he

counseled. " Or drink fluoridated water. And baby

formula must never be

made up using Toronto tap water. Never. "

Why, I wondered? What could have caused such a

powerful paradigm shift?

" It's been building up for a couple of years, "

Limeback told me during a

recent telephone interview. " But certainly the

crowning blow was the

realization that we have been dumping contaminated

fluoride into water

reservoirs for half a century. The vast majority of

all fluoride additives come

from Tampa Bay, Florida smokestack scrubbers. The

additives are a toxic

byproduct of the super-phosphate fertilizer industry. "

" Tragically, " he continued, " that means we're not just

dumping toxic fluoride

into our drinking water. We're also exposing innocent,

unsuspecting people

to deadly elements of lead, arsenic and radium, all of

them carcinogenic.

Because of the cumulative properties of toxins, the

detrimental effects on

human health are catastrophic. "

A recent study at the University of Toronto confirmed

Dr. Limeback's worst

fears. " Residents of cities that fluoridate have

double the fluoride in their hip

bones vis-a-vis the balance of the population. Worse,

we discovered that

fluoride is actually altering the basic architecture

of human bones. "

Skeletal fluorosis is a debilitating condition that

occurs when fluoride

accumulates in bones, making them extremely weak and

brittle. The earliest

symptoms?

" Mottled and brittle teeth, " Dr. Limeback told me. " In

Canada we are now

spending more money treating dental fluorosis than we

do treating cavities.

That includes my own practice. "

One of the most obvious living experiments today, Dr.

Limeback believes, is

a proof-positive comparison between any two Canadian

cities. " Here in

Toronto we've been fluoridating for 36 years. Yet

Vancouver - which has

never fluoridated - has a cavity rate lower than

Toronto's. " And, he pointed

out, cavity rates are low all across the

industrialized world including Europe,

which is 98% fluoride free. Low because of improved

standards of living,

less refined sugar, regular dental checkups, flossing

and frequent brushing.

Now less than 2 cavities per child Canada-wide, " he

said.

" I don't get it, Doc. Last month, the Centers for

Disease Control (CDC) ran

a puff piece all across America saying the stuff was

better than sliced bread.

What's the story? "

" Unfortunately, " he replied, " the CDC is basing its

position on data that is 50

years old, and questionable at best. Absolutely no one

has done research on

fluorosilicates, which is the junk they're dumping

into the drinking water. "

" On the other hand, " he added, " the evidence against

systemic fluoride

in-take continues to pour in. "

" But Doc, the dentists... "

" I have absolutely no training in toxicity, " he stated

firmly. " Your

well-intentioned dentist is simply following 50 years

of misinformation from

public health and the dental association. Me, too.

Unfortunately, we were

wrong. "

Last week, Dr. Hardy Limeback addressed his faculty

and students at the

University of Toronto, Department of Dentistry. In a

poignant, memorable

meeting, he apologized to those gathered before him.

" Speaking as the head

of preventive dentistry, I told them that I had

unintentionally mislead my

colleagues and my students. For the past 15 years, I

had refused to study the

toxicology information that is readily available to

anyone. Poisoning our

children was the furthest thing from my mind. "

" The truth, " he confessed to me, " was a bitter pill to

swallow, but swallow it

I did. "

South of the border, the paradigm shift has yet to

dawn. After half a century

of delusion, the CDC, American Dental Association and

Public Health

stubbornly and skillfully continue to manipulate

public opinion in favor of

fluoridation. Meantime, study after study is

delivering the death knell of the

deadly toxin. Sure, fluoridation will be around for a

long time yet, but

ultimately its supporters need to ready the life

rafts. The poisonous waters of

doubt and confusion are bound to get choppier.

" Are lawsuits inevitable? " I asked the good doctor.

" Remember tobacco, " was his short, succinct reply.

Welcome, Dr. Hardy Limeback, to the far side of the

fluoride equation. It's

lonely over here, but in our society loneliness and

truth frequently travel

hand in hand. Thank you for the undeniable courage of

your convictions.
