Description: This blog shares reliable information about fluoride, fluoridation and dentistry which the mainstream media fails to do.
Seventy-eight years ago, on January 25, 1945, dentists convinced government officials to experiment on all Grand Rapids, Michigan, residents to prove that ( not if ) dosing the public’s water supply with untested sodium-fluoride chemicals would make children's developing teeth cavity-free. It ended prematurely, control city was fluoridated, promoted with PR, and evidence of harm ignored or untested.
Planned to last 15 years, the 1945 study ended prematurely after 6 ½ years . Teeth of most children born into the experiment hadn't even erupted yet. Muskegon, the non-fluoridated comparison or control city began fluoridating its water in 1951; thereby, negating the experiment.
An American Dental Association (ADA) news release reported, "many communities did not wait for the studies to be completed before starting their own fluoridation efforts. By 1950, [fluoridation] had the full support of the ADA." This support came without any safety evidence.
