U.S. Says too much Fluoride in water
US Department of Health and Human Service are now recommending fluoride levels to be lowered to no more than 0.7ppm. This is because over 30% of children in fluoridated areas have some form of dental fluorosis. New Zealand has the same levels of fluorosis.
“This is an admission they have been over dosing everyone with fluoride. Just reducing the level means they're still wrong, but they will be sued left right and centre if they admit the truth - no fluoride is the only safe level.” Says Mary Byrne spokesperson for Fluoride Action Network New Zealand.
Dental fluorosis is the first outward sign that a child has been overdosed with fluoride. “It’s not the look of dental fluorosis that matters, it’s what it means. Similarly, a thin blue line on the gum means a child has been overdosed with lead. No one would say “don’t worry no one sees your gum.” Says Ms Byrne.
The US recommendation comes hard on heels of the latest study to show fluoride reduces IQ in children.
According to MOH guidelines issued last year, bottle fed babies are exceeding the Upper Limit 90% of the time when fluoride is at 1ppm and 30% of the time when fluoride is at 0.7ppm.
Only 26 councils out of 69 add fluoride to drinking water and two of these councils (Hastings and Kapiti) dropped their level to 0.7ppm last year, against the advice of the MOH. Two other councils, Whakatane and New Plymouth, also resolved last year to review fluoridation.
According to Ms Byrne “NZ MoH now have no choice but to also recommend councils drop their maximum fluoride levels to 0.7ppm. Councils are adding a hazardous waste to drinking water, and now it is proved that the MOH have been wrong again”.
