STOP DRINKING WATER FLUORIDATION NOW!
********** THREE WATER FLUORIDATION STUDIES: *********
80% of LAB RATS DEAD BEFORE STUDY COMPLETION!
*** USEPA CONCEALS STUDY RESULTS FROM PUBLIC ***
Couched in an obscure paragraph of a twenty-two page response to the House Committee on Science, Charles Fox, USEPA spokesman wrote: "In l999, EPA convened a group of experts to carefully consider the results of the Varner et al. (1998) study. As a result of that conference, EPA has requested that the National Toxicology Program consider the possibility of conducting additional studies of the neurotoxicity of aluminum that include verification of the results observed in the two previous Varner et al. studies."
The initial Varner et al. study was done to see if alum (aluminum sulfate) added to drinking water as a clarifier would combine with fluoride and penetrate the blood-brain barrier. The results were startling. 80% of the animals in the low dose range died before the experiment was completed. The dose of fluoride and alum fed to the animals in drinking water was similar to that in artificially fluoridated drinking water. The same results were confirmed in two subsequent studies.
The animals given both aluminum fluoride and sodium fluoride in low doses suffered from significant kidney and brain damage.
The Varner team stated that, "Striking parallels were seen between aluminum-induced alterations" in cerebral blood vessels that are associated with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of presenile dementia. They concluded that the alterations of the blood vessels may be a primary event triggering neuro-degenerative diseases.
Astounded by their results, the researchers also noted in the study: " Not only did the rats in the lowest dose groups die more often during the experiment, they looked poorly well before their deaths. Even the rats in the lowest dose group that managed to survive the 45 weeks looked to be in poor health."
The Varner et al. study was a replication of the disturbing results of two previous studies conducted by the same team. Despite these alarming findings, it may take two to three years for the National Toxicology Program to act upon the USEPA request for further research.
