Fluoridation Facts By Clinton Ray Miller

1. Fluorine (fluoride) is a cumulative poison.
2. Fluorine (fluoride) accumulates in bones.
3. Fluorine (fluoride) damages bones.
4. Fluorine (fluoride) makes bones denser.
5. Fluorine damaged bones are more brittle and fracture easily.
6. Fluorine causes an increase in hip fractures in both sexes.
7. Fluorine is not eliminated well by damaged kidneys. Women with normal kidneys drinking fluoridated water had high levels of fluoride in bone (typically 900 - 2,300 ppm, but for women with impaired kidney function, as high as 3890 ppm.)
8. Bones of persons with fluorosis have 3,500 to 4,500 ppm.
9. JAMA, 1992, Published a U. of U. paper by Danielson, Lyon, Goodenough, reporting a 41% increase in hip fractures in men and a 27% increase in hip fractures in women drinking fluoridated water in Brigham City, Utah compared to control (non-fluoridated) cities of Logan and Cedar City.
10. Since 1990, four major epidemiological studies from three countries -- The United States, (US), United Kingdom, and France -- have confirmed the 1992 University of Utah study by Lyon et al.
11. Although the U. of U. study linking fluoridated water and hip fracture has gained worldwide attention, it has never been reported by either the Dessert News or the Salt Lake Tribune.
12. If Logan and Cedar City had fluoridated their water supply when Brigham City did, there would have been no control cities to compare the effects on incidence of hip fracture.
