Water Fluoridation in New Zealand is foremost an unethical challenge on our freedom of choice. Put simply, it is mass-medication and such a sweeping administration must require a unanimous consent. This is far from the case.
There are a growing number people rightful opposed to water fluoridation, many supporting reasons for it’s removal and serious questions regarding the health risks of the chemical involved.
Industrial Byproducts
• Fluoridation chemicals are unpurified industrial byproducts from fertilizer manufacturing, and are not the same as the fluoride in toothpaste.
It’s like swallowing sunscreen to prevent sunburn.
• There is a reason your toothpaste labels says, “Do Not Swallow.” It is now known that fluoride’s main benefit comes from topical contact with the teeth, not from ingestion. Even the CDC’s Oral Health Division now acknowledges this.
A Toxic Soup
• Adding fluoridation chemicals also adds a cocktail of other toxics to our water.
There is no scientific dispute that fluoridation chemicals would add arsenic, lead, and mercury to our water along with fluoride.
Science doesn’t support fluoridation
• Fluoride levels in drinking water have been linked to a broad spectrum of human health ailments from neurological damage and thyroid disorders to excessive fluoride consumption in infants and increased risks of bone cancer.
It doesn’t work
• The largest U.S. study ever conducted found that children drinking fluoridated water averaged only about half a cavity less than children drinking unfluoridated water.
94% of the world don’t drink fluoride
• Most of the rest of the world has rejected fluoride as risky and ineffective.Over 94% of the world’s population drinks unfluoridated water.
Unquestionably Unethical
• Fluoridation violates the fundamental principle that every individual has the right to consent to or reject a given medical treatment. Fluoride meets every legal and medical definition of a drug. It is intended to “treat,” “mitigate” or “cure” the disease known as dental caries.
