Scientists and professionals lash out against water fluoridation: Newstarget.com

In a statement released early August by the Fluoride Action Network, over 600 doctors, scientists, and other experts have donated their signatures to call for an end to the controversial practice of water fluoridation.

In an extensive examination of the available literature, FAN has compounded a list of suspected symptoms of fluoridation in the human population including an increase in the risk of bone fractures, decreased thyroid function, lowered IQ, arthritic-like conditions, dental fluorosis and osteosarcoma. The parts per million (PPM) levels of fluoride present in the U.S. water supply are, according to the report, adequate to facilitate many of these symptoms in certain groups including children, diabetics, above-average water drinkers and those with poor kidney function, among others.

"Fluoridation is against all principles of modern pharmacology," argues Dr. Arvid Carlson, the winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Medicine and co-signer on the report, “…it’s really obsolete.”
