Interview with Dr. Vyvyan Howard, President, International Society of Doctors for the Environment

I'm a medial pathologst and toxicologist and my research over the past 20 to 30 years has involved looking at the effect of toxic substances on development in the fetus and in the infant..... I guess the thing that got me interested in fluroide in the first place was the very very low levels that you find in human breast milk. What that tells me is that throughout evolution we've built up a special mechanism for keeping fluoride away from the developing infant. Nature has devised a system for keeping fluroide away from the infant and we're circumventing that by putting fluoride into drinking water. And I think there are consequences. So the question is, why is it that nature has devolved a system which specifically keeps fluroide away from the infant? And the answer is it's a developmental toxin and in particular its a neurotoxin...There's lots of epidemiological evidence now that, for example, it might affect the intelligence of the child coming out of China and that's been reviewed by the National Academy of Sciences. They say that you can't be absolutely certain about it but there's quite a strong indication and we need further research...".
