What Would Happen if Water Fluoridation Stopped?

Interviewer: What would happen if the EPA or other regulatory agencies came out and said, "You know what? We were wrong about fluoride. It's not good. We shouldn't have it in these products." What would the trickle down effect, in terms of industry and business, and the Dental Association be?

Dr. David Kennedy: Well, they would join all the rest of the countries in the world. There's only 11 countries left that actively add fluoride to their water supply. Lots of countries have natural fluoride that's crippling people, China, Thailand, Ethiopia. But actually adding it to the water supply, they're down to 11 now.  

So what they would do is they would join the rest of the scientific community, which might be a new feeling for them. But if you could not dispose of the silica fluoride waste, you would have to dispose of it in a Class A landfill, where you have a lined landfill and you slake it with calcium of some sort. Lyme, or, inactivate it so it doesn't eat the planet. And that's basically an added cost of making phosphate fertilizer. Well, if the phosphate fertilizer costs more, then Agribiz might quit using it. It's making a lot of money selling water to you for food. But then you would have tomatoes that taste like they do out of your own garden, because they would not be blown up with phosphate fertilizers to make it big. Who wants a big tomato that tastes like nothing? 

Interviewer: What about the Dental Association, for all the years that they've been putting fluoride treatments on our teeth. Would they face lawsuits, I would imagine too, by people that were potentially harmed by that?

Man: You're getting into fields of law, and then what you've got to do is, you've got to prove, proof of causation. So, if you had a topical treatment from Dentist A, and a topical treatment from Dentist B, and you use Colgate Palmolive toothpaste from Place C, and you drank fluoridated water in Los Angeles D, then they're going to say, "Well, you can't prove that A caused the problem that you're seeing in this clad[??]. It could have been D. It could have been the City of Los Angeles, so you've got to sue the City of Los Angeles. But you have to sue Dentist B too, because, wait a minute, you're talking legal ramifications? And I know what's going on today. Is it, if they're afraid of being sued, the longer they delay in taking appropriate action, the National Academies of Science spoke in 2006, and the level of fluoride they showed caused harm to the thyroid with infinite dismal amounts. Far, far less than anybody's receiving this drinking fluoridated water.

So it's time to stop dosing people with a very powerful poison. And the longer they delay, the more the liability is. So if they're concerned, fine. But otherwise it's another 100 years of legal action and the attorneys will have plenty of depositions, I'm sure to go. 

But I would like them to stop it now and sort the rest out in a court of law.
