The FLUORIDE Report Fluoride Free Canada |

Hello : IMPORTANT LAWSUIT UPDATE! |
|
|
For the past two years, the Court has been waiting for the final publication of the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) review on fluoride’s neurotoxicity. After multiple unprecedented peer-reviews by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), the final draft was expected to be made public in May 2022. |
|
|
However, it was never published and was instead sent for a fourth “review.” During the October hearing, the Court granted the Plaintiff’s motion to end the stay on the trial. The Department of Justice–who is representing the EPA–has now turned over the NTP report. Because it’s currently under protective order, its contents can only be viewed by the Court, the legal parties (plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys), and experts providing testimony and analysis. THIS IS GREAT NEWS because it means the Court finally has what it has been waiting over two years for. It also means the Court is likely to make a decision at the next status hearing on January 12th, 2023 on the timing of the last phase of the trial…instead of being delayed further! Details about this case are on our Fluoride Free Canada homepage. All the updates, including a video of the latest Court hearing are on our Court Status page. The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) will be incurring huge legal costs when the trial gets underway. They are currently campaigning to raise $180,000 by December 31st, 2022. Their success will eventually be Canada’s success. Let’s show them our support by donating generously to their campaign! |

On November 24th, 2022, Colgate posted an article titled Fluoride Deficiency & Signs on their website. Above the article is written: “Medically Reviewed by Colgate Global Scientific Communications.” The following is an excerpt: |
|
|
"Fluoride is a powerful, natural tool in oral health. You can brush and floss with great care, along with avoiding sugary foods and drinks, but your mouth might not be as healthy as you think. You could be suffering from a fluoride deficiency. And that's nothing to smile about. Signs of Deficiency Tooth decay is a common sign of fluoride deficiency. Low fluoride exposure can create an environment for bacteria found in plaque or biofilm to thrive by allowing them to produce acids that wear away at tooth enamel. This weakened tooth enamel can also lead to cavities. Weak or brittle bones are another fluoride deficiency symptom that can appear in older adults." |

Is this Trump’s philosophy? The more you tell “The Big Lie”, the more the truth is blurred? Toothpaste is a multibillion dollar industry and Colgate is the world leader in making money from selling toothpaste…so they figure they can say what they want on their website! Isn’t it interesting though, that they have been selling fluoride-free toothpaste to toddlers? |

Because Colgate is a "world authority" on teeth, the masses go along with their ill-fated pronouncements…even when they say something as illogical as putting an acid (fluoride) into people's mouths to prevent other acids from forming. THE TRUTH The macro and trace minerals are: Magnesium, sodium & chloride, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, iron, zinc, iodine, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, silicon/silica and boron. Fluoride is not in this list, as it is NOT an essential nutrient for life. In the 1950s, dentists believed that fluoride was an essential nutrient. A nutrient is a vitamin or mineral that is necessary for our bodies to develop and function normally. Dentists believed that fluoride ingestion during childhood was necessary for strong, healthy teeth. A “fluoride deficiency” was thus believed to cause cavities, just like a deficiency of calcium can cause osteoporosis, or a deficiency of vitamin-D can cause rickets. However, it is now known that dental caries are caused by oral bacteria that thrive on the carbohydrates that are a prominent part of the standard American diet, and fluoride is NOT an anti-bacterial. There’s no such thing as fluoride deficiency (hypofluoremia). Fluoride is ubiquitous in food, water, air, and most tissues of the human body, and no physiological dysfunction results from having a "theoretically impossible" fluoride intake of zero. Colgate may profit from all their topical fluoridated products under the law, but it is inaccurate and highly misleading telling people that fluoride is a nutrient for which there can be a deficiency. It is misinformation, and a marketing gimmick to sell more dental products. |

Then in Issue #7, entitled MEDIA BIAS – WE ARE NOT TAKING THIS LYING DOWN, Dr. Robert C. Dickson, Director, Fluoride Free Canada, included a letter that he had sent to the CBC Ombudsman asking for a follow-up that would clear up the misconceptions it created. Finally, on June 28th, 2022, the CBC Ombudsman, Mr. Jack Nagler, published his review. THE REVIEW CONCLUDED... “… aspects of the article did not live up to the standards of the [Journalistic Standards and Practices]. I recommend that two changes be made to it: one, to remove the reference to “rotten tooth capital of Canada” from the headline (unless there is some way to put it in its proper context); the other is to add into the article some reference to more current rates of tooth decay in either Vancouver or British Columbia so that readers can draw a more informed conclusion about how big a problem this is in their communities. However, I do not agree with your assertion that CBC was obliged in this instance to incorporate the views of anti-fluoridation organizations such as yours.” Basically he concluded that it was not the intention of the subject matter to provide balance…really? Dr. Dickson finds it frustrating that CBC and other mainstream media get away with lies, insinuations and lack of accountability. He facetiously states that he is sure that the young reporter from Vancouver, almost a year after her article was published, is going to rush right out and change the angle on the title! NEXT STEPS Dr. Bob is NOT giving up! |

FLUORIDE FACT Fluoride has no essential function in the human body. A “fluoride deficiency” is only propaganda. Modern science shows clearly that even small amounts of fluoride pose a danger to susceptible sub-populations, especially young children. |

WHAT CAN YOU DO TODAY? Take a look at a box of fluoridated toothpaste and read the warning to call a Poison Control Centre if a child under six years of age swallows more than a pea-sized amount. Then throw out your fluoridated toothpaste (if you still have any), and warn your family and friends. Also, get current on the status of the legal Court case, and be sure to make a tax-deductible donation to the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) now, to show them Canada’s support! |
