Online Video Archive Features Experts Speaking Out in Their Own Words

(OMNS Oct 2, 2012) Opposition to water fluoridation started in the 1940's. Now, the number of experts opposing the practice appears to be at all-time high. Examples of strong professional opposition are now captured on video and available online. At http://www.fluoridealert.org/fan-tv/ you may view both full-length documentaries and short segments on fluoridation. All are available for free access. The videos feature interviews with leading figures in fluoride research, including dentists, toxicologists, and award-winning journalists. They examine the health concerns with current fluoride exposures and the history and politics of the water fluoridation program. There is both archival footage and contemporary clips, many of which have never been available to the general public until now.

Some of the films available:

1. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader discusses his stance against water fluoridation. http://www.fluoridealert.org/fan-tv/nader/
2. Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation (28 minutes) features a Nobel Laureate in Medicine, three scientists from the National Research Council's landmark review on fluoride, as well as dentists, medical doctors, and leading researchers in the field.
