Stop Fluoridation Now!

STOP DRINKING WATER FLUORIDATION NOW!

********** THREE WATER FLUORIDATION STUDIES: *********
80\% of LAB RATS DEAD BEFORE STUDY COMPLETION!
*** USEPA CONCEALS STUDY RESULTS FROM PUBLIC ***

Couched in an obscure paragraph of a twenty-two page response to the House
Committee on Science, Charles Fox, USEPA spokesman wrote: "In l999, EPA
convened a group of experts to carefully consider the results of the Varner
et al. (1998) study. As a result of that conference, EPA has requested that
the National Toxicology Program consider the possibility of conducting
additional studies of the neurotoxicity of aluminum that include
verification of the results observed in the two previous Varner et al.
studies."

The initial Varner et al. study was done to see if alum (aluminum sulfate)
added to drinking water as a clarifier would combine with fluoride and
penetrate the blood-brain barrier. The results were startling. 80\% of the
animals in the low dose range died before the experiment was completed. The
dose of fluoride and alum fed to the animals in drinking water was similar
to that in artificially fluoridated drinking water. The same results were
confirmed in two subsequent studies.

The animals given both aluminum fluoride and sodium fluoride in low doses
suffered from significant kidney and brain damage.

The Varner team stated that, "Striking parallels were seen between
aluminum-induced alterations" in cerebral blood vessels that are associated
with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of presenile dementia. They
concluded that the alterations of the blood vessels may be a primary event
triggering neuro-degenerative diseases.

Astounded by their results, the researchers also noted in the study: " Not
only did the rats in the lowest dose groups die more often during the
experiment, they looked poorly well before their deaths. Even the rats in
the lowest dose group that managed to survive the 45 weeks looked to be in
poor health."

The Varner et al. study was a replication of the disturbing results of two
previous studies conducted by the same team. Despite these alarming
findings, it may take two to three years for the National Toxicology Program
to act upon the USEPA request for further research.
