Thread: European Court Ruling spells an end to water fluoridation.

And some of you thought flouride was a good thing!

Fluoridated water must be treated as a medicine, and cannot be used to prepare foods. That is the decision of the European Court of Justice, in a landmark case dealing with the classification and regulation of 'functional drinks' in member states of the European Community. (HLH Warenvertriebs and Orthica (Joined Cases C-211/03, C-299/03, C-316/03 and C-318/03) 9 June 2005)

Functional drinks are those products that have two different purposes – for example, nutrition and exerting a positive effect on some medical condition. They include 'near-water drinks with added minerals' and, in view of the properties claimed for fluoridated water by fluoride advocates, it must be classified as a 'funtional food', and therefore falls within the scope of the relevant legislation.

Medicinal law takes precedent over food law.

The Court ruled that, where two different sets of rules appear to apply to a product, medicinal legislation must take precedent, and the product must be regulated as a medicine. It emphasised that medicines regulators in member states do not have the power to exercise discretion on the classification of such dual-function products. The repeated refusal of the British and Irish Regulators to recognise fluoridated water as a medicinal product is therefore an unlawful misuse of their powers, and one that requires immediate reversal.

ECJ rulings do not establish new laws, but clarify how existing ones should be applied, and are enforceable in the domestic legislation of all member states of the EC. In effect, this decision at last confirms the claim that I have made for many years – that existing medicinal law has always required that fluoridated water be regulated as a medicine. Fluoridated water has no medicinal marketing authorization ('product licence'), and because of this it is – and always has been - illegal to supply it to the public, as the 1968 Medicines Act confirms.

European Court ruling spells an end to fluoridation

I guess they must be putting an end to it just for the hell of it then. But then 'Billy no real mates' Daffy sure knows best.

It has been proven, even by the dental industry that flouride is not good for the body and shouldn't be consumed. The dental association recommended to schools to inform its children to rinse thoroughly, and to remove milk that contained flouride from their lunchen list. Some even argue the benefits of flouride on the teeth.

The only people it benefits are the corporations who have an abundance of flouride and don't know how to despose of it. So they put it in the water.

Flouride has been linked to brittle bone decease and a cause of brain tumors in young boys in particular.

I believe Daffy has been effected too.
