It has been shown that with excess fluoride we get horny, bony growths, in some cases very debilitating ones. These are extreme cases, but they are all part of the pattern. There have been claims of bone benefits from fluoridated water studies in North Dakota, for instance. Unfortunately, these have not been checked out by other researchers, especially in England, where they have done a retroactive study with cadavers in the fluoride city of Hartlepoole vs. the nonfluoride city of Leeds. They could find no difference in the amount or extent of bone softening in the cadavers of the people that had lifelong residence Utah Independent: Many dentists Utah Independent: Why do dentists and medical doctors seem to be so united in favor of fluoridation? in Salt Lake City seem to favor fluoridation because they say Dr. Burgstahler: I think it is that all of the evidence that seems because the officers in these trustworthy to them indicates organizations were got to, so to that fluoridation is beneficial to speak, years ago, by people in humans and not harmful unless public health with various taken in very large overdoses. promises of advancement and so What would you say to them?

We know this took place in the American Dental Association directorship. There was an editor in the early 40s, L.
