Fluoride - Final Submissions Due Fri., Nov. 27, 2009
Final submissions to the Canadian Drinking Water Secretariat (water_eau@hc-sc.gc.ca) are due this Friday, November 27, 2009. Please consider submitting a response to this document.
The well-known requirements of science are not sufficiently fulfilled in this document:
- omission of citations for claims, (e.g., conflicting claims in the English and French translations had no citation to verify which claim was correct);
- omissions of research which do not support conclusions, including research by panel members selected to do this review;
- a review panel was chosen with conflicts of interest, and who demonstrate a lack of expertise in artificial water fluoridation;
- misrepresentation the National Research Council Review 2006;
- use of a double standard for claims of benefits and claims of harm whereby poor quality science demonstrating efficacy is accepted uncritically whereas claims of harm are dismissed if the evidence is not of the highest quality.
Any of the following peer-reviewed responses to the CDW secretariat are available for you to submit in whole or in part.

Here is a commentary on the recent (Jan, 25th, 2011) Public Participation Meeting (PPM) on Fluoride in the City of London, Ontario. The meeting started with a strong pro fluoride stance form the City engineer. His lack of knowledge on chemistry of the toxic wastes used to fluoridate water could embarrass even a high school student never mind his own profession. He blatantly violated his "duty to public welfare" as... [read more]

Here is a bit of history that illustrates why they feed us hydrofluorosilcic acid in our water. Show this to those who ask why should the authorities slow poison us! "One of the main reasons for processing the raw phosphate rock for agricultural purposes is because of the fluoride content – mainly in the form of fluorosilicates/silicon tetrafluoride. Back in the early part of the 20th century when industrial farming... [read more]
