Ngo-1952, ingxenye yenkonzo yezempilo yomphakathi yase-United States impilo yomphakathi yamazinyo ikhiqize ividiyo ebabaza ubuhle be-fluoridation yamanzi. Yathi: “Odokotela bamazinyo emadolobheni amaningi bayasiza ekuletheni izinzuzo ze-fluorid ezinganeni. Manje izingane zethu zingaba nempilo engcono ngamanzi ane-fluoridated.”

Kodwa ngemva kweminyaka engu-78 sitshelwa ukuthi i-fluoride emanzini iyinzuzo yethu yezempilo, isayensi ifakazele ukuthi lokho akulona iqiniso. Ngeshwa, kuphambene - i-fluoride emanzini ethu empeleni idala ukulimala kwezinzwa.

INational Toxicology Programme, uphiko Lwezempilo Nezinsizakalo Zabantu, muva nje ikhiphe umbiko osalungiswa: “Isimo Sesayensi Mayelana Ne-Fluoride Exposure kanye Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health Effects: Ukubuyekezwa Okuhlelekile".

Umbiko wabo, owahlaziya izifundo ezibuyekezwe ontanga engu-52 emhlabeni wonke, wathola ukuthi ukudla i-fluoride kuhlobene nokukhubazeka kwengqondo ezinganeni.

Ucwaningo luphinde lwathola ukuphazamiseka kokunaka kanye nama-IQ aphansi ezinsaneni ezizalwa omama abaphuza amanzi ane-fluoridated ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kanye nasezinganeni eziphakelwa amafomula axutshwe namanzi kampompi ane-fluoridated.

Nakuba izazi ze-pro-fluoridation zizamile ukubukela phansi lo mbiko, zize zize zisho ngephutha ukuthi zonke izifundo "zixazululiwe", i-NTP ithe babuyekeze kuphela izifundo zekhwalithi ephezulu ezenza izindlela zesayensi ezinembile ngokulawula futhi zibalwe. kuzo zonke eziguquguqukayo.

Ngokusho kwe-Fluoride Action Network, ummangali oholayo njengamanje obandakanyeka ecaleni eliyingqophamlando le-fluoridation enkantolo ngokumelene ne-EPA, idokhumenti ye-NTP iwumbiko we-NTP obuyekezwe ngontanga futhi ocutshungulwe ngokwesayensi kakhulu emlandweni.

Ama-imeyili e-CDC angaphakathi atholwe ngezicelo zeFreedom Of Information Act yiFluoride Action Network abonise ukuthi ukushicilelwa kombiko wokugcina we-NTP kwavinjwa ngenxa yokuphazanyiswa nguNobhala Womsizi Wezempilo, u-Rachel Levine.

I-imeyili eyodwa evela kuMqondisi Wezempilo Yomlomo wakwaCDC kusukela ngoJuni 3, 2022 ithe, "U-ASH Levine uwumise lo mbiko kuze kube kuphinde kwaziswa."

Kuyadumaza ukuthi ukukhishwa kwalo mbiko, kuvinjwe i-HHS nezinye izinhlaka zikahulumeni ezikhuthaza ukugeleza kwamanzi, futhi ukhishwe kuphela ngemva inkantolo ikhiphe incwadi yokubizela enkantolo.

Ukukhishwa kwalo mbiko kanye nokutholakele kwawo kuwukunqoba okukhulu empilweni yabo bonke abantu abachayeke kungenasidingo ku-fluoride nalabo abamelene nomkhuba oyingozi we-fluoridation yamanzi njengoba kusibeka esinyathelweni esisodwa sokuqeda ukusetshenziswa kwemithi ngenkani ekuphuzeni kwethu. amanzi.

Futhi kulabo abazibuza ukuthi bangakwazi yini ukuvimbela imigodi ngaphandle kwezingozi ze-fluoride, ungakhohlwa, akukho lutho oludlula inhlanzeko yomlomo - floss futhi uxubhe amazinyo nsuku zonke okungenani imizuzu emibili, idla ukudla okunempilo okuhlanganisa imifino eminingi, amafutha amahle. kanye namaprotheni amaningi futhi yehlisa ukusetshenziswa kwakho ushukela.
