FLUORIDE: Drinking Ourselves to Death?

by Barry Groves

ISBN: 0-7171-3274-9


is published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. under its "Newleaf" imprint with a Foreword by Dr C. Vyvyan Howard, MB, ChB, PhD, FRCPath., University of Liverpool.

Dr Howard writes:

"Barry Groves has performed a considerable service to society by producing a clearly written book, which summarises much of the scientific evidence available on the vexed question of the fluoridation of public drinking water supplies. The format of the book is based on a circular notice sent to UK dentists by the British Fluoridation Society (BFS), which detailed a series of questions that might be posed by patients and provides suggested answers to those questions. Barry Groves takes each question and the BFS answer in turn as the basis of a series of short chapters which then present what is known and published about each topic. This juxtaposition serves to put in stark relief the apparent evasive nature or clear bias of many of the BFS's suggested responses.

"I hope that you will enjoy this book, which must be regarded as essential reading for those who wish to enter an informed debate on this topic. As a microscopist . . . and a toxico-pathologist with an interest in the effect of toxic substances on development, I have found this volume to be in turn informative, readable and thought provoking. When you have finished reading, if you come to the same conclusion, recommend it to others!"

Professor Albert Burgstahler, editor of the journal, Fluoride.

"Writing primarily for the general reader, he nevertheless has assembled an impressive array of referenced information of interest to anyone who engaged in research concerning important biomedical and environmental aspects of fluoride and fluoridation." Read the full review.

Dr Don Mac Auley, B.D.S, Dental surgeon:

"In my opinion, Barry Groves' book is compelling, accurate and timely. I found it easy reading yet emotive. . . . I feel we all have a responsibility to expose the truth about fluoridation. . . . my congratulations to Barry Groves on an excellent read. This accomplished book will sit proudly on the shelf between Yiamouyiannis and Moolenburg."

"A new book has just come to hand on this whole question of fluoride and it is a cracker. Published by Newleaf and written by the author of Eat Fat, Get Thin! , Barry Groves, the book is titled Drinking Ourselves to Death .

"This book is simply a must for anyone interested in this most important of subjects. It is packed from cover to cover with quotable quotes and with referenced facts all cleverly laid out in digestible form.

"This book, I believe, will quickly become a standard reference . . ."

Dr Juliet Bressan, Medicine Weekly , 3 October 2001

"Books like this are important, . . . in that they do encourage governments to develop a little shame when it comes to ignoring public opinion, health and pollution. And you've got to take your hat off to someone who spends years, tirelessly researching a public health issue, which the medical and dental professions refuse to be bothered with."

"Groves [touches] on the role of industry and central government, by supplying copious quotes from parliament both here and in the UK which reveal the complete and utter incompetence when it comes to understanding public health."

"The revelations about . . . health ministers' complete lack of understanding as to why our water is fluoridated, and what the known health risks are is a disturbing component to the book".


The statements made by the Government-funded British Fluoridation Society are similar to the fluoridation propaganda being used in other countries, much of which emanates from the "National Center for Fluoride Policy and Research" in the United States.

In the interests of the public health, this 329-page book is an easy, eye-opening read for all politicians and health workers. It provides an extremely quick reference work for journalists trying to make sense of the "debate". It is, without doubt, a valuable tool for both seasoned and new campaigners.

Published in Ireland on 21 September and in the UK on 1 October 2001, this superb book has already been reprinted (3 October 2001).
