TOP FLUORIDE EXPERT APOLOGIZES
FOR PUSHING POISON DR. HARDY LIMEBACK'S APOLOGY A message for you Jeff green forwarded us this article, and says: We had pre-arranged with Barry Forbes to obtain his permission to reproduce this column throughout the world. We hope that if you find his writing style and the specific text of this column as persuasive as we have, that you will consider having this article reproduced as a guest column in your favorite (or previously ungrateful) media outlet. Thank you Barry and Hardy. We also urge you to send a copy to your local dentist, doctor, decisionmaker and any one else you can think of. Let's get this message around the world. Paul Connett. Prominent researcher apologizes for pushing fluoride by Barry Forbes The Tribune, Mesa, AZ Sunday, December 5, 1999 Reproduced With Permission "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. 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." "But Doc, the
dentists." Fluoride is a corrosive poison> Common pesticides use fluoridation chemicals as their main
