The FDA in US has listed fluoride as a medication and as a medication it should be prescribed for you by a doctor. There is an ongoing fight to stop fluoridation around the world and many countries have removed it from the water. They are all bent on giving it to you one way or another if not through water, toothpaste and now salt. If you Google fluoride health risks there is a lot of information. If you read a toothpaste tube you will see that if you accidentally swallow a bit you are told to contact your doctor or poison control center. When are they going to stop medicating with out notification.
What Countries Fluoridate Salt?
According to Fluoride Alert, countries with salt fluoridation programs include: Austria, Bolivia, Columbia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Switzerland, and Venezuela. How extensive and whether people are given the option of having non-fluoridated salt, is not confirmed.
Research published in 2006 subsequent to Mexico?s national salt fluoridation program, demonstrates the dental fluorosis rate among children went up to 52%. This rate was attributed to both fluoridated salt and the use of fluoridated toothpaste. (3)
Salt fluoridation has now far surpassed the population consuming fluoridated water. 350 million people were added in 1996 alone when the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) launched a massive program in Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Venezuela.
The project was part of a multi-year plan launched by PAHO in 1994 to ?fluoridate the entire Region of the Americas? (PAHO, 1996).
This project was funded, once again, by a multi-year-deal grant from Kellogg?s (PAHO, 1996).
