Fluorides & Fluoridation

Welcome to www.fluoridationfacts.com, the home of fluoride.org.uk, the Australian Fluoridation News Archive and HREX fluoride-related files.

Please note: This website is mostly inactive. The nature of this website will also change to an archive-cum-database for out-of-print magazine articles, dental health data and related publications, and scientific literature. The Australian Fluoridation News has also moved to another server based in Australia. However, the 'AFN' will be backed-up on this website on a regular basis. The Webmaster, 7th August, 2005.

"Fluoride has several mechanisms of toxicity. Ingested fluoride initially acts locally on the intestinal mucosa. It can form hydrofluoric acid in the stomach, which leads to GI irritation or corrosive effects. Following ingestion, the GI tract is the earliest and most commonly affected organ system.

Once absorbed, fluoride binds calcium ions and may lead to hypocalcemia.

> Fluoride has direct cytotoxic effects and interferes with a number of enzyme systems; it disrupts oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, coagulation, and neurotransmission (by binding calcium).

> Fluoride inhibits Na+/K+ -ATPase, which may lead to hyperkalemia by extracellular release of potassium.

> Fluoride inhibits acetylcholinesterase, which may be partly responsible for hypersalivation, vomiting, and diarrhea (cholinergic signs). Seizures may result from both hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia.

Severe fluoride toxicity will result in multiorgan failure. Central vasomotor depression as well as direct cardiotoxicity also may occur. Death usually results from respiratory paralysis, dysrhythmia, or cardiac failure."

SPECIAL ISSUES:
	Layman's guide A simple overview of fluorides and water fluoridation. Learn the basics and understand the critical issues.
	The Other Side of the Coin In November 2003, The House of Commons voted by 284-181 to provide for the extension of fluoridation. Their reasons were based upon bad science, bad evidence and bad principles. Here are the facts some MPs are ignoring.
	The Big Issue Fluorosed teeth counted as "sound and present" in UK dental health surveys? Also see our Press Release of October 2006.
	Fluoridated milk Children being fed milk containing the same type of fluoride used to manufacture nerve gas, rat and cockroach poison?
	Fluoride: can you 'stomach' it? Pictures of stomach damaged by fluoride.
	Propaganda Fluoridation cannot survive without unscientific claims being made about it's safety & effectiveness.
	Yahoo! Groups: "The intention of this site is for FLUORIDE POISONED persons to share their experiences and support."
	Free Range Network: Information on "per-fluoro-chemicals ."

New Labour's idea of a free vote (quote from the Commons Hansard, 10th Nov 2003): Mr. Wiggin: "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I seek your guidance about whether a free vote means that the Government Chief Whip should herd her supporters into the *No Lobby." Mr. Deputy Speaker: "I must tell the hon. Gentleman that that is not a matter in which the Chair becomes involved in any way." (*'No Lobby' - to block opposition to further fluoridation).
