Water
fluoridation is the largest source of fluoride exposure / over-exposure and
the easiest to eliminate.
"The major
dietary source of fluoride for most people in the United States is fluoridated
municipal (community) drinking water, including water consumed directly,
food and beverages prepared at home or in restaurants from municipal
drinking water, and commercial beverages and processed foods originating
from fluoridated municipalities."

CHRISTOPHER BRYSON:
ON WRITING
“THE
FLUORIDE DECEPTION”
I’m a reporter… I stumbled on the story in 1993. I was working in New York as a BBC radio
producer and was asked to find "an American angle" on water
fluoridation. Ralph Nader put me in
touch with a couple of government scientists (William Hirzy at the EPA and
Robert Carton at the U.S. Army) who opposed water fluoridation, and
explained how the science underpinning the nation’s (US) fluoride safety
standards was fraudulent... I just
kept reporting.”

“I had used thyroid
hormone supplements for years. After
reviewing research on fluoride, I realized even at ‘optimal doses’ fluoride
potentially interfered with both iodine and thyroid metabolism.
I decided to conduct an
experiment on myself. I began
taking small doses of iodine under the supervision of an iodine research
health professional from the USA.
Within weeks I could successfully reduce my dose of thyroid
supplements by 50%.
The
next step was to reduce all my fluoride sources as much as possible. Within one month I was able to eliminate
thyroid hormone supplementation without any recurrence of hypothyroid
symptoms. Blood serum tests for
thyroid function moved into the optimal range."

“Fluoride is the most consumed drug in the U.S., and it’s
time we talked about it.”

"I was
the counsel for the plaintiffs in rigorous trials in Pennsylvania,
Illinois, and Texas, resulting in judicial findings in all three cases -
based on the quality of the evidence heard on both sides - that artificial
fluoridation of public water supplies induces large-scale cancer and other
ailments in man. Eminent experts from great universities, government
institutions, and the private sector appeared in all three cases, and were
all subjected to direct and cross examination by veteran trial lawyers
before experienced trial judges. The professional union at the national
headquarters of the United States Environmental Protection Agency later
reviewed these judicial findings, and certified them as scientifically
correct to a subcommittee of the United States Senate. Since those
hearings, the evidence reported in leading scientific and medical journals
has extensively confirmed and elaborated what the three judges found.
Under these circumstances, it is morally irresponsible to continue
this practice, and governments have an urgent duty to end it."
