Cancer in Boys and Floridated Water

	Dave in CA writes "Floride causing an increase of bone cancer in boys?? Check out this report. Excerpt: '(WASHINGTON, April 5) — Boys who drink water with levels of fluoride considered safe by federal guidelines are five times more likely to have a rare bone cancer than boys who drink unfluoridated water, according to a study by Harvard University scientists published in a peer-reviewed journal. The study, led by Dr. Elise Bassin and published online today in Cancer Causes and Control, the official journal of the Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention, found a strong link between fluoridated drinking water and osteocarcoma, a rare and often fatal bone cancer, in boys. The study confirms studies by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the New Jersey health department that also found increased rates of bone cancer in boys who drank fluoridated tap water.'"

The fact that a large corporation hired a sell out "scientist" to do shoddy research and skew it for profit? Or that Human beings are suffering because of it? Or is that the way it is in this our land, the home of the free? Sorry, oxymoron there, we aren't free unless we are rich, and even then we must toe the line, ask Bill Gates. Anyway, I guess this kind of thing doesn't create much reaction, just another company trying to gain profits at any cost, so what if People suffer, they are supposed to aren't they?

Fluoride in water has always had a worse impact on men because men drink more water - they do more hot & hard jobs, more construction, outdoor labor..etc Even if you reverse osmosis filter your water, you can't entirely avoid it. The odds are the sodas you drink contain it, as does the food you eat (packed with local water). They even use it in beer to stop the fermenting process. Freedom Is Merely Privilege Extended Unless Enjoyed By One & All.
