The ostensible purpose of the meeting was to discuss the status of the antifluoridation opposition, to analyze their opponents' motivations, to assess a need for a national fluoridation policy, and to evaluate legal challenges.
It is interesting to note that one of the speakers, Dr. |

 Public Health Service assigned the problem to Dr Joseph Goldberger. The favorite medical theory was that pellagra was an Infection, but he soon deduced that it was a deficiency disease and showed how it could be prevented and cured. Dr Goldberger saved millions of people from the ravages of that dreadful disease and paved the way for the eradication of pellagra by the enrichment of flour with small amounts of niacinamide, starting about 1941 in the United States. |
| Public Health Service now fortifies bread with folic acid. Folic acid is destroyed by heat but some will survive.
Folic acid can decrease neural tube defects by 75%. If all the other vitamins were used, we are certain that figure would be closer to 100%. We cannot recall in the past 40 years a single female patient of ours on vitamins giving birth to any child with a congenital defect.
Health and Welfare Canada has likewise recommended that "as early as possible when planning a pregnancy women should consult their physician about folic acid supplements. |

 Whether the erroneously low figure of 10 percent used in the data banks of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) II of the public health service is the result of wishful thinking, a careless error, or industry coddling is not known. However, laboratory analyses provided by Durkee, a fats and oil company, show 15 percent; the USDA reports 14.1 percent; and lipids researchers at the University of Maryland check in at 14.8 percent. |

 For this reason the March of Dimes, the U.S. public health service (USPHS), and other organizations recommend that all women of childbearing age take a daily multivitamin that contains 400 meg of folic acid.
If you already have had a pregnancy affected by spina bifida (or other neural-tube defect, the USPHS recommends that you take 400 meg of folic acid daily if you are not planning to become pregnant. |

| The US public health service tried to allay Congressmen's fears by presenting data that refuted Drs. Burke and Yiamouyiannis' studies. But the USPHS' study was seriously and flagrantly flawed, a fact addressed in the course of the hearings: it contained significant mathematical errors and left out 80-90 percent of the data pertinent to the issue.
Congress, not convinced by the USPHS' answers, ordered them to conduct a study that would definitively answer the question of whether fluoridation of drinking water causes substantial cancer risk. |

 Folic acid is now recognized as essential for the prevention of neural tube defects in pregnancy, and the U.S. public health service recommends pregnant women take a daily 400 meg supplement. Optimal levels, especially in the elderly, may be much higher. There is one caution, however: folic acid supplementation can mask B12-deficiency anemia, so it is best to supplement extra folic acid with vitamin B]2.

| Finally the U.S. public health service did a study that claimed to show that one part per million of fluoride in water reduced tooth decay by 60 percent, and thus began the trickling of fluoride into our water supply.
The price of fluoride went up 1,000 percent almost overnight, and the problem of how to dispose of a potent toxin was solved. The practice of water fluoridation was further justified by more glowing studies claiming to show that communities using fluoridated drinking water had a much lower rate of tooth decay than those using unfluoridated water. |

| The United States public health service has estimated that perinatal transmission is only on the order of about 5-6%. Breastfeeding does not increase the risk of ttansmission (Dienstag 1997).
Other possible, yet unproven risk factors for transmitting the HCV virus include body piercing, tattooing, and sharing contaminated household items such as toothbmshes, razor blades, and nail clippers. Lock et al. (2002) investigated whether or not HCV is transmitted by sharing the toothbrush of an infected individual. Their results, although inconclusive, suggest that this may be possible. |

 The U.S. public health service therefore recommends that all women of childbearing age who are capable of conceiving consume 400 micrograms of folic acid daily. Pregnant women and nursing mothers need 800 micrograms daily. Taking extra folic acid reduces a woman's chance of having a child with spina bifida and other abnormalities of the spine and brain. Experts estimate that if every woman capable of having a baby took the appropriate amounts of folic acid, 75 percent of neural defects could be prevented. |

 Even Proctor and Gamble(the makers of Crest toothpaste) presented studies to the U.S. public health service that showed fluoride to be a cancer-causing agent at the lowest concentrations used.
The public was fooled into accepting water fluoridation because the original tooth-decay prevention tests were done using calcium fluoride, or CaF2. Calcium fluoride is the type of fluoride found naturally in water and plants. Yet, the type of fluoride that got added to public water supplies and toothpaste was sodium fluoride, or NaF. |

He cited fluoride as the cause of the staining, but also credited fluoride as the reason these same people had fewer cavities.25 In 1950, the public health service recommended using artificial fluoridation in the public water systems to fight tooth decay. Since the time fluoride entered the water system, there have been many health-related problems linked to its use but no statistically significant reduction in tooth decay. Dr. |

 To read the cigarette manufacturers' websites, one would think the industry must be a wholly owned subsidiary of the public health service. The sites warn about the dangers of smoking, say smoking is addictive, list chemicals added in manufacturing cigarettes, encourage smoke-free environments for nonsmokers, and offer smokers Web-based quitting resources. Industry leader Philip Morris sounds downright altruistic in its enunciated commitment to youth smoking prevention: the company wants "to work with those who share our goal of reducing youth smoking. |

 In the 1920s, the public health service started tracking diseases carried in milk. In 1961, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an agency of what is now the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), took over that task and began to issue annual counts of illnesses transmitted by food and drinking water. Five years later, the CDC initiated a voluntary program of state surveillance of outbreaks, meaning that states could choose whether or not to participate.
As early as 1970 the CDC realized that its counts were way too low. |

 Public Health Service were under tremendous pressure from Congress and the public to find a quick cure for this Italian plague. Leading American Medical scientists, with unlimited research funds, had experimented fruitlessly for five years.
Doctors in the South were sure it was contagious. Whole villages in South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi were suddenly swept by the strange flame-red skin rash.
