Water Fluoridation Targets Black Americans and Indigenous Australians+
In all three populations studied, those
children in each racial category and
each age group who were highly
likely to be exposed to silicofluorides
differ strongly in levels of blood
lead from those not exposed.
At present, U.S. public water systems serving
over 140 million people are fluoridated
with 200,000 tons of commercial
grade hydrofluosilicic acid
(H2SiF6) and sodium
Data from numerous studies show that, taking economic, social and racial factors into account, where silicofluorides are used, children absorb more lead from the environment, and there are higher rates of diseases and behavioral problems associated with lead poisoning (including hyperactivity, substance abuse, and violent crime).
Although some early studies showed differences between sodium fluoride and sodium silicofluoride, to this day the substitution of silicofluorides in public water treatment facilities HAS NEVER BEEN SUBJECTED TO APPROPRIATE ANIMAL OR HUMAN TESTING. Recently, the Assistant Administrator of the EPA admitted to Congress that his agency had no data on SiF toxicity and the Chief of the Treatment Technology Evaluation Branch at the National Risk Management Research Laboratory confirmed that the EPA has “no” data on the “health and behavioral effects of fluosilicic acid.”
Despite claims of safety by oral health officials, laboratory research in Germany revealed that silicofluorides do not dissociate completely and have important biological effects. To follow up on this issue, we have compared children’s blood lead levels in communities using SiF treated water with communities using sodium fluoride or with non-fluoridated water. In three separate samples, totaling over 400,000 children, SiF treated municipal water is ALWAYS significantly associated with increased blood lead levels in children.
This effect was evident in a Massachusetts survey of lead levels in 280,000 children (see graph for children exposed to SiF from the Greater Boston water system, from towns that add SiF locally, or from communities using sodium fluoride, and towns without fluoridation). For the state of New York, data was available on venous blood lead levels for 151,225 children in communities of 15,000 to 75,000. Controlling for other factors associated with higher blood lead, silicofluorides were again significantly associated with higher uptake of lead from the environment. For black children, who are especially at risk for high blood lead, those in towns using SiF were less likely to have low blood lead and more likely to have lead over 10µg/dL. To confirm that these results are not due to other socio-economic or demographic factors, additional statistical tests were run.
The third study concerned children’s blood lead levels in the National Health and Nutrition Evaluation Survey (NHANES III), which had reports for 7224 children from 80 counties with populations over 500,000. Since only 4 of these counties had any communities that used sodium fluoride, analysis of the NHANES III data focused on the percentage of the entire county population exposed to silicofluoride treated water.
Among the 1543 children of all ages from large urban counties with over 80% of the population exposed to fluoridation (almost all of whom receive water treated with SiF), average blood lead was 5.12 µg/dL whereas the average for 1139 children in low fluoride exposure counties was 3.64 µg/dL Blood lead in the 473 children sampled from the medium fluoridation counties was 3.23 µg/dL, which was significantly different from the high fluoridation counties but not from either low fluoridation counties or those with unknown fluoridation status, where average blood lead levels were 3.16 µg/dL (S.D. 2.83). Controlling for the Poverty, the effect of SiF use was highly significant (p < .0001). When the sample is divided by age and race, these findings provide six separate samples in which SiF is associated with high blood lead (see Graphs).
In all three populations studied, those children in each racial category and each age group who were highly likely to be exposed to silicofluorides differ strongly in levels of blood lead from those not exposed.
This conclusion was further checked by analyzing available data for health and behavioral traits that have been associated with high blood lead (such as violent crimes, cocaine use and asthma). In each case, those exposed to silicofluoride treated water were more likely to have behavioral or health problems that are more likely among those with high lead in their bodies.
The injection of silicofluorides in public water supplies is a practice whose elimination could possibly contribute to reduced rates of learning disabilities, substance abuse, violent crime, and asthma (all connected with lead poisoning and other toxins).
Whatever the benefits to teeth (and this is highly controversial), our research shows that the issues facing the public concern silicofluoride chemistry, toxicology, and the linkage of neurotoxins with behavior or health. Before SiF chemicals are used, citizens must know that they are safe for all.

Afro-American People Disproportionately Harmed by Fluorides. – Article from Lillie Centre.
On 2nd October 2007, a news release from the Lillie Center advised that.
1) Afro-Americans suffer disproportionate problems with kidney disease and diabetes caused by fluorides.
2) CDC shows that Afro-American have disproportionate risk for disfiguring teeth damage from fluorides.
3) Suffer more discrimination now that the CDC and the ADA has advised that babies should not have fluoridated water in their baby formula.

Kwa mujibu wa utafiti huo, watoto wa jamii tatu zilizochunguzwa, ambao walikuwa katika kila jamii ya rangi na kila kikundi cha umri ambao walikuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuambukizwa silikofluoridi, walitofautiana sana katika viwango vya risasi ya damu kutoka kwa wale ambao hawakuambukizwa. Kwa sasa, mifumo ya maji ya umma ya Marekani inayohudumia watu zaidi ya milioni 140 ina fluoridated na tani 200,000 za asidi ya hydrofluosilicate ya kiwango cha kibiashara (H2S6 na sodiamu) na data kutoka kwa masomo mengi yanaonyesha kwamba, kwa kuzingatia mambo ya kiuchumi, kijamii na ya kikabila, ambapo silicofluorides hutumiwa, watoto huchukua risasi zaidi kutoka kwa mazingira, na kuna viwango vya juu vya magonjwa na matatizo ya tabia yanayohusiana na sumu ya risasi (ikiwa ni pamoja na hyperactivity, matumizi mabaya ya dawa na uhalifu). Ingawa baadhi ya masomo ya mapema yalionyesha tofauti kati ya sodium fluoride na sodium silicofluoride, hadi leo, uingizwaji wa silicofluorides katika vifaa vya umma vya matibabu ya maji haijawahi kuwa chini ya majaribio ya wanyama au binadamu. "Msemaji wa EPA, Dk. John W. Katz, ambaye ni mkurugenzi wa EPA, alisema kuwa ""hakuna data juu ya athari za afya na tabia ya asidi ya fluosilicic,"" na ""Utafiti wa maabara nchini Ujerumani ulifunua kwamba silicofluorides hazitenganishi kabisa na kuwa na athari muhimu za kibiolojia.""" Kwa kuzingatia suala hili, tumefananisha viwango vya risasi ya damu ya watoto katika jamii zinazotumia maji yaliyotengenezwa na SiF na jamii zinazotumia fluoride ya sodiamu au maji yasiyo na fluoride. Katika sampuli tatu tofauti, jumla ya watoto zaidi ya 400,000 - maji ya manispaa yaliyotengenezwa na SiF daima yanahusishwa kwa kiasi kikubwa na viwango vya risasi vya damu katika watoto. Kwa mfano, uchunguzi wa Massachusetts ulioonyesha viwango vya risasi katika watoto 280,000 (tazama grafu kwa watoto waliofunuliwa na SiF kutoka mfumo wa maji wa Greater Boston, kutoka miji ambayo huongeza SiF ndani ya mji, au kutoka jamii zinazotumia fluoride ya sodiamu, na miji isiyo na fluoridation). Kwa mfano, katika jimbo la New York, kuna takwimu za viwango vya risasi katika damu ya watoto 151,225 katika jamii za watu 15,000 hadi 75,000. Kwa kuzingatia sababu nyingine zinazohusiana na risasi ya juu ya damu, silicofluorides zilihusishwa tena kwa kiasi kikubwa na upatikanaji wa risasi ya juu kutoka kwa mazingira. Watoto weusi ambao wana hatari ya kuambukizwa risasi ya juu ya damu, wana uwezekano mdogo wa kuwa na risasi ya chini ya damu na zaidi ya 10mg dL. Ili kuthibitisha kwamba matokeo haya hayatokani na mambo mengine ya kijamii, kiuchumi au idadi ya watu, vipimo vya ziada vya takwimu vilifanywa. Utafiti wa tatu ulihusu viwango vya risasi katika damu ya watoto katika Uchunguzi wa Kitaifa wa Tathmini ya Afya na Lishe (NHANES III), ambao ulikuwa na ripoti za watoto 7,224 kutoka wilaya 80 na idadi ya watu zaidi ya 500,000. Kwa kuwa ni wilaya nne tu kati ya hizo zilizokuwa na jamii zilizotumia fluoridi ya sodiamu, uchambuzi wa data ya NHANES III ulizingatia asilimia ya idadi ya watu wote wa wilaya waliokabiliwa na maji yaliyotengenezwa kwa silikofluoridi. Katika watoto 1543 kutoka wilaya kubwa za mijini, ambapo zaidi ya 80% ya idadi ya watu walikuwa na fluoridation (kwa karibu wote kupokea maji kutibiwa na SiF), wastani wa risasi ya damu ilikuwa 5.12 mg DL, wakati wastani wa watoto 1139 katika wilaya za chini fluoridation exposure ilikuwa 3.64 mg DL. 2.83). Kuangalia kwa umaskini, athari ya matumizi ya SiF ilikuwa muhimu sana (p <.0001). Kwa mfano, ikiwa sampuli imegawanywa kwa umri na jamii, matokeo haya hutoa sampuli sita tofauti ambazo SiF inahusishwa na risasi ya juu ya damu (tazama Graphs). Katika idadi zote tatu za watu waliochunguzwa, watoto katika kila jamii ya rangi na kila kikundi cha umri ambao walikuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuambukizwa silicofluorides hutofautiana sana katika viwango vya risasi ya damu kutoka kwa wale ambao hawakuambukizwa. Utafiti huo ulionyesha kuwa kuna uwezekano mkubwa wa kuwa na viwango vya juu vya risasi katika damu (kama vile matumizi ya cocaine, ugonjwa wa pumu, na uhalifu wa kigaidi). Katika kila kesi, wale waliofunuliwa na maji yaliyotengenezwa kwa silicofluoride walikuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuwa na matatizo ya tabia au afya ambayo ni uwezekano mkubwa zaidi kati ya wale walio na risasi nyingi katika miili yao. Kuingiza silikofluoridi katika maji ya umma ni zoea ambalo kuondolewa kwaweza kuathiri viwango vya kupungua kwa matatizo ya kujifunza, matumizi mabaya ya dawa za kulevya, uhalifu wa vurugu, na pumu (zote zinahusiana na sumu ya risasi na sumu nyingine). "Hata hivyo, utafiti wetu unaonyesha kwamba masuala yanayowakabili watu ni ""kemia ya silikofluoridi, sumu, na uhusiano wa sumu za neva na tabia au afya.""" Kabla ya kemikali za SiF kutumiwa, wananchi lazima wajue kwamba ni salama kwa wote. Zamani ya Umoja wa Mataifa "Balozi wa Australia na Meya wa Atlanta Andrew Young na Mchungaji maarufu Gerald Durley wanatoa wito wa kufuta sheria ya fluoridation katika GA ""Watu wenye matatizo ya figo wako katika hatari kubwa ya kuambukizwa na fluoride"" na ""Wanawake wa Australia wenyeji wana figo ndogo kuliko wasio wenyeji, idadi ya nephrons imepungua na akiba ya figo imepungua."""

Kwa mujibu wa CDC, watu wa asili ya Afrika na Amerika wana hatari kubwa ya kuharibika kwa meno kutokana na fluoride.

Hii itakuwa kuangalia mbaya kwa fluoridation.]
