CANCER RATE INCREASE AND FLUORIDE.

Is it not high time that we investigated the link between Cancer and the fluoridated tap water consumed in this country? Ireland is the only country in Europe that fluoridates it's water, and has the highest rates of Cancer in Europe. Is it not possible that Fluoride, which is a component of Rat Poison and a bi-product of the fertilizer industry, is responsible?

If you were found in the middle of a busy road with tire marks across your face, it would be correct to assume that you were run over by a car. Using that logic is it not correct that something like Fluoride in our nations water is responsible for the Cancer spike?

We are always told that our lifestyles are to blame, that drinking and smoking and the main reasons for the increase in rates. If that is so, how then does this explain the massive increase in Child Cancer? Surely that can't be blamed on drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco, can it?. What about the fact that we are seeing an increase in people who have never smoked OR drank. Smoking has been banned in pubs over eight years now and still the increase in Cancer continues.

People have drank and smoked for hundred of years in Ireland so the increase in Cancer rates cannot be attributed to these handy scapegoats. These spikes have been most noticeable since the introduction of fluoride into our water supply in the late 50's. Other overlooked possible contributors to the increases are the MSG in food, the Aspartame in Diet drinks and thousands of other foods, and the BPA in plastic food and drink containers, that leeches into the food contained within.

It's time to deal with the elephant/s in the room and stop blaming the old reliables or all our health woes as it's getting tired now.
An article about the increase was published in the Irish Independent on the 5th of February 2012. Here is the link to that article.
