Fluoride lawsuits start and may grow massively

Isn’t it odd that a substance that is claimed to reduce tooth decay actually causes white spotted, yellow, brown teeth and even pitted teeth? The truth is, even for what fluoride is purported to do, it doesn’t work very well. The other truth is, dental fluorosis, or these spots or pitted teeth, is a sign of fluoride poisoning, and according to the CDC, dental fluorosis now affects 41 percent of adolescents. The sad thing about fluoride poisoning is that it goes far beyond the damage to our teeth. Consuming fluoride negatively affects our brains and bones, and fluoride has even been found to make us statically less intelligent. It’s implicated in dozens of serious diseases, and the only bright side is that consumers and the public are starting to fight back.

A lawsuit was recently filed against two companies offering water products with fluoride marketed toward children, and they’re being sued for damage caused by the fluoride. The Plaintiff, a 13-year old girl, has severe dental fluorosis, and the cost to cover her white spotted teeth with veneers, over her lifetime, may be more than $100,000. Her parents actually bought the fluorinated water because it was marketed to be good for teeth – and the fluorinated water was 90 percent of the water the girl drank as a baby and young child.

“In this case, a photo really is worth a thousand words,” says plaintiff`s attorney Nidel pointing to a photo of the girl’s teeth.

Unfortunately there aren’t also pictures of how much of her intelligence quotient this girl lost and what further impact that will have on her life: whether it’s in income lost due to lost intelligence, kidney damage, bone damage, cancer or just in personal unhappiness. Her mother says she is extremely self conscious about her smile.

The bottled water she drank regularly contained .08 percent fluoride, which is about the same amount that municipalities add to public water supplies. The attorneys for the case think it’s just the tip of the iceberg for fluoride related lawsuits.

It also turns out that even though these parents thought that the fluoride would benefit their daughter, the dental industry has long known otherwise.

According to a firm working to end the fluoridation of our water supply, “Dental industry representatives have long fretted in their professional journals that fluoride providers could one day face legal actions for harm caused by ingested fluorides… There were also warnings in dental and other publications that fluorides could potentially cause bone disorders, kidney harm, and thyroid impairment.”

Attorney Nidel also adds, “We’re at the beginning of what looks to be an absolutely enormous wave of new fluoride litigation. There are so many harmed teenagers with fluorosis. We have the government’s own data to prove that. Potentially millions with fluorosis will want to talk to an attorney, and believe me, plaintiff attorneys and the plaintiffs’ bar are beginning to educate themselves about all this.”

It’s a sad thing that we have to step up and fight just not to be poisoned these days, but it`s good to see consumers fighting the battle. The city of New York may be getting on board with the ending of this massive public poisoning, and legislation has been introduced to stop fluoridation of the city’s water supplies.
