I am forwarding this extensive research on to all CADS supporters. Diana Buckland has her own web site, she has been researching the detrimental affects of chemicals on the human body for over 20 years and has recently joined our fight against fluoridation of our drinking water supply.
I realize that some people like the idea of fluoride being added to our water - however, people MUST be told the TRUTH about the TYPE of fluoride we are being forcefully fed.
Please take some time to read this research. I am sure that you will be surprised, at the very least you will be informed of the truth.
With Regards

I am sending this to many and ask you all to pass on to others everyone in your
address book, friends, family, workmates, colleagues and ask others to do
likewise, please Queenslanders and Australians, this affects all of us - you
will see the Evidence of Harm and Suppression of such evidence - please write
/email/phone your MP's, councillors, tell the Premier NO, tell the
Health
Minister NO, tell the Government NO, tell them all NO, you are not having S6
poison silicofluorides in your water supplies and the lies and Suppression of
Evidence is over. Write to any and all media you can, write to anyone you think
cares or will listen, and if they don't listen keep at them; make up your
own fliers out of the information here - spread the word to all Queenslanders
and all Australians, make every one hear you, that chemical water fluoridation
is dangerous and must end, permanently and irrevocably; our health and our
childrens' health is in danger. Contact Opposition Leaders and other parties
and tell them likewise; they all must act and end this insanity. So far media
hasn't published anything against chemical water fluoridation; with your
pressure, that can change.
Some Politicians have deleted without being read previous emails on this
subject, so just goes to show how much they
care.
Thank you all, Di Buckland, Kallangur.

Gaps in children's dental health - your headline * Point here - check with
Merilyn Haines Queenslanders for Safe Water Inc.* *www.qawf.org re: your story
saying that Queensland - along with the ACT and Tasmania - also had the worst
record for rotten permanent teeth among children, while South Australia and the
Northern Territory were the best - you'll need to check the truthful figures
with Merilyn; *but you'll find Queensland does not have the worst teeth -
and surprises here for you ACT has 100% saturation* *chemical water fluoridation
and Tasmania has 83% saturation of chemical water fluoridation (for over 50
years) yes, they do have
the worst teeth in the nation.* The lies never end
about chemical water fluoridation so please let me give you some information.
Please read right to the end as there is much information. Remember to see the
information in my previous email to Queensland Newspapers of* *Joel M. Kauffman,
Ph.D. who is Professor of Chemistry Emeritus at the University of the Sciences
in Philadelphia, and also see report Tasmanian's have the worst teeth in the
nation (they have been chemically water fluoridated for 50+) and others; so read
on.
and now we'll go to the Gold Coast Mail Fluoride added to Queensland Water
story http://www.goldcoastmail.com.au/storydisplay.cfm?storyid=3791590
Mr. Lucas quotes" there are a number of people who have expressed concerns
about fluoride, but I think they are wrong, wrong, wrong". Such ignorance
is sickening to say the least, and the experts from around the world have proven
him Mr. Lucas, wrong
wrong wrong. And this has been against all the deviousness
surrounding the suppression of Evidence of Harm and conflicts of interests by
the pro-fluoridation camps, that these experts are managing to get the damning
information of how dangerous chemical water fluoridation is to the public; with
no thanks to the media who wont publish these things.
My colleagues and I have done your credible research for all you Journalists so
please, give the true facts of Chemical Water fluoridation to the Queensland and
Australian population and put an end to the devious dodgers and the suppression
of Evidence of harm and Conflicts of Interest and loss of Integrity in Science
due to such conflicts of interests.
Dear Herald Sun & any and all other Australian Media,
Presented herewith Extensive Evidence of Harm and suppression of such Evidence
for your examination and for you to publish as a headline grabber; this
highly
credible evidence from many experts around the world. As I have previously said,
this some of such Evidence of Harm.
Also included here is my most recent emails to the Australian & Qld
Newspapers as journalism has been very one sided and certainly appeared to be
pro-fluoridation; so I am asking you to warn the Queensland and Australian
Public of the absolute and proven dangers of Evidence of Harm and suppression of
such evidence of harm due to conflicts of interest & loss of integrity in
science. Everyone who refuses to publish these facts becomes party to the
suppression of Evidence of Harm. Here is my most recent email.. Nothing I have
ever sent before to any newspaper has ever been published about this, except
when I did some testings of my own and if I posted nonsense comments about
celebrities and their bedroom antics or other such trivia, that usually got
published, well I want you to
publish this truth and Evidence of Harm and
suppression of such Evidence of Harm now.
Dear Australian Newspaper, (& any others this may be sent to)
from Di Buckland 4 Mia St. Kallangur, 4503 3285 3573 dbucklan@bigpond.net.au
Well I wonder if this one too will be deleted without being read, or if it is
read, shelved like all others from anyone speaking against chemical water
fluoridation. I have to say that I was disappointed to see even Kay McGrath
delete without being read and I do faithfully watch Channel 7 news when I have
the time that is. Maybe Kay will take the time to read this now, please Kay.
This is absolutely nothing about nutters, tree huggers, koala kissers, even
though I am an absolute human health and environmental warrior, we have to
protect everything around us; this is about common sense, this is about reading
Evidence of Harm put right under your noses, and presenting it to the
Australian
Population. As I have said the pro-fluoridation have had the floor for decades,
and the Evidence of harm and suppression of such evidence is now unravelling the
stranglehold that the proponents of chemical water fluoridation have had
politically and media wise. The health of everyone in the world is at stake
here; and the population need the truth and the Evidence of Harm is so
overwhelming and of the highest credibility, chemical water fluoridation Must
cease, permanently and irrevocably. Please continue reading. As I have stated,
this is only some of the evidence of harm.
Anyone bcc'd on this please onpost widely, we have to somehow get some
mainstream media to show their credibility, care and integrity and publish these
truthful facts. Ok am sending off, as I'm off to my new Dentist - a very
open minded young man prepared to see Evidence of Harm.

I received a copy (at the very end of my email here) of your article referring
to nutters ; against fluoridation - many of my emails to your Newspaper

anyone
speaking out about fluoride as a nutter; your story, something in the
water, well sir, I am not a nutter, and neither are my close colleagues, and I
have sent you and many other mainstream newspapers very credible data on
chemical water fluoridation and mostly you delete without being read or nothing
is done with it. A lot wont read or publish anything or delete without being
read -anything that speaks against chemical water fluoridation; and that's
where a lot of the "untruths" come in too, people are lied to and led
to believe water fluoridation is "natural" - well who in their right
mind would want an S6 poison silicofluorides in their water? how on earth is the
true facts of chemical water fluoridation and the dangers therefrom from experts
around the world supposed to get to the public, if mainstream media won't
look at it; and that's pretty much all of mainstream media - except to paint
anyone speaking out
against fluoride as a nutter; the evidence of harm has been
suppressed and that is what I have been trying to get you to understand, and
give this to the public. Again I say, look at the data here, particularly look
at the evidence from Dennis Stevenson, an Ex-Parliamentarian (see hereunder- but

Dec. 10, 2008
*Comment from Old-Thinker News:* Dr. Phyllis Mullenix became well known in the
field of neruotoxicology when she developed a new, more accurate system of
analyzing chemicals effects on the brain and central nervous system. The new
technology was called the Computer Pattern Recognition System. She received
funding from a variety of high profile sources, and consulted with Exxon, Mobil,
3M, DuPont and others in her early career. She was very well received until she
began to investigate the effects of fluoride on the central nervous system.
Ultimately, her career was destroyed because of her investigation. This
presentation by Phyllis was done two years after she was fired from
her
toxicology position at Forsyth Dental Center in 1994. Mullenix covers vital
information regarding secrecy surrounding Fluoride and the Manhattan Project and
much more. For more information be sure to check out Christopher Bryson’s book
The Fluoride Deception.

Extract from: JADA –
See what they saying now: - see below: JADA Continuing Education Fluoride
supplements, dental caries and fluorosis
A systematic review
Results. Eleven of the reports evaluated dosage schedules similar to that
recommended by the American Dental Association. One potentially highly biased
study of primary teeth of children during the first three years of life reported
a /47.2 percent reduction/ in dental caries experience. Investigators in one
trial
involving 3- to 6-year-old children /found a 43.0 percent difference/, and
another trial of children in this age group */did not find a significant
benefit/*. Researchers in several studies involving older children detected a
significant reduction in caries increments in permanent teeth with the use of
fluoride supplements. Fifteen of the studies had withdrawal rates of 30 percent
or higher. All of the five included studies that evaluated the association
between use of fluoride supplements and dental fluorosis found that use of the
supplements increased the risk of mild-to-moderate fluorosis*. Conclusions.
There is weak and inconsistent evidence that the use of fluoride supplements
prevents dental caries in primary teeth. There is evidence that such supplements
prevent caries in permanent teeth. Mild-to-moderate dental fluorosis is a
significant side
effect.

Research Review
NEW EVIDENCE ON FLUORIDATION
M Diesendorf, J Colquhoun, B J Spittle, D N Everingham and F W Clutterbuck
Sydney and Brisbane, Australia; Auckland and Dunedin, New ZealandReprinted,
with permission, from The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health
Vol. 21 No. 2 199 03.07.2008
Extract: The 1991 report on fluoridation by the National Health and Medical
Research Council was published just as the first papers reporting the link
between fluoridation and hip fractures were being published.52 It acknowledged
in its
section 6.4 some of the evidence that skeletal fluorosis is a potential
health hazard, but created the false impression in its executive summary that
there are no health risks. It is the executive summary which is read by
decision-makers and the media. The report’s profluoridation bias was further
demonstrated by its failure to cite any of the studies presenting the evidence
against fluoridation published in refereed journals.
The 1995 Report to the Minister by the New Zealand Public Health Commission
demonstrated similar bias by failing even to cite any of the published papers on
hip fractures, skeletal fluorosis or osteosarcomas..53 However, the 1994 New
Zealand Public Health Commission report did include some of these references and
did acknowledge that:
It is possible that there is a small increased risk of hip fracture associated
with water fluoridation, though the evidence for this is very inconclusive.
More
research is required to clarify this issue. A large amount of research has
failed to provide evidence that exposure to fluoride causes cancer. However, the
possibility of a small increased risk of osteosarcoma (a rare type of bone
cancer) in young men cannot be ruled out at this stage. Here again, more
research is needed. [From the executive summary; there are similar statements on
p. 74 and p 78.]54
But this information, and the references supporting it, were not forwarded
officially to the Minister.
One of the us (DE), while Federal Minister for Health in Australia from 1972 to
1975, could not get frank answers from his own department on the risks and
benefits of fluoridation. Another of us (JC), while convenor of the New Zealand
Fluoridation Promotion Committee, observed at first hand how his then fellow
proponents of fluoridation kept from the public and decision makers the evidence
that
fluoridation is less effective than claimed by proponents and is harmful,
and then represented the evidence in a misleading way when it was eventually
released. All of us have observed attempts by the medical and dental
establishment in profluoridation countries to evade the evidence of concern and
to suppress and misrepresent scientists, medical practitioners and dentists who
attempt to publish evidence against fluoridation.55-57
For these and other reasons, we have no confidence in the impartiality of those
institutions of government and the professions which have endorsed fluoridation
for decades. Those who have built their careers and professional status on
fluoridation cannot credibly assess the evidence against it. We have submitted
this short paper for publication in the hope that at least some kind of
scholarly debate will
ensue.

STATEMENT OF Dr. J. WILLIAM HIRZY
*BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON WILDLIFE, FISHERIES AND DRINKING WATER UNITED
STATES SENATE JUNE 29, 2000*
"Prior to hearing this case, I gave the matter of fluoridation little, if
any,
thought, but I received quite an education, and noted that the proponents
of fluoridation do nothing more than try to impune (sic) the objectivity of
those who oppose fluoridation."In the Illinois decision, Judge Ronald
Niemann concludes: "This record is barren of any credible and reputable
scientific epidemiological studies and or analysis of statistical data which
would support the Illinois Legislature's determination that fluoridation of
the water supplies is both a safe and effective means of promoting public
health."
Judge Anthony Farris in Texas found: "[That] the artificial fluoridation
of public water supplies, such as contemplated by {Houston} City ordinance No.
80-2530 may cause or contribute to the cause of cancer, genetic damage,
intolerant reactions, and chronic toxicity, including dental mottling, in man;
that the said artificial fluoridation may aggravate malnutrition and existing
illness in man;
and that the value of said artificial fluoridation is in some
doubt as to reduction of tooth decay in man."
The significance of Judge Flaherty's statement and his and the other two
judges' findings of fact is this: proponents of fluoridation are fond of
reciting endorsement statements by authorities, such as those by CDC and the
American Dental Association, both of which have long-standing commitments that
are hard if not impossible to recant, on the safety and efficacy of
fluoridation. Now come three truly independent servants of justice, the judges
in these three cases, and they find that fluoridation of water supplies is not
justified.
*/Proponents of fluoridation are absolutely right about one thing: there is no
real controversy about fluoridation when the facts are heard by an open
mind./**/ /*
*Changing Views on Efficacy and Risk *In recent years, two prominent dental
researchers who were
leaders of the pro-fluoridation movement announced
reversals of their former positions because they concluded that water
fluoridation is not an effective means of reducing dental caries and that it
poses serious risks to human health. The late Dr. John Colquhoun was Principal
Dental Officer of Aukland, New Zealand, and he published his reasons for
changing sides in 1997 (20). In 1999, Dr. Hardy Limeback, Head of Preventive
Dentistry, University of Toronto, announced his change of views, then published
a statement (21) dated April 2000. I am submitting a copy of Dr. Limeback's
publications.
We believe that Dr. Limeback, along with fluoridation proponents who have not
changed their minds, such as Drs. Ernest Newbrun and Herschel Horowitz, should
be called before a Select Committee to testify on the reasons for their
respective positions.
NTEU Chapter 280 and its individual Executive Board members have signed
on to
the following Statement of Concern about the science of fluoridation. The goal
is to stimulate a Congressional hearing on this national policy, which has not
been aired before Congress and the public since 1978. Since 1978, a wealth of
peer reviewed literature has been published on the carcinogenic, genotoxic and
neurotoxic effects of fluoride, as well as on the efficacy of fluoridation. We
believe that a full, open debate on the merits of the science underpinning
fluoridation - and EPA's drinking water standards - is long overdue.

Extract:- In 1990, Dr. William Marcus, senior toxicologist
in the Office of
Drinking Water at EPA, was fired for publicly questioning the honesty of a
long-awaited government animal study designed to determine if fluoride causes
cancer. Upon examining the raw data of the experiment, Dr. Marcus found clear
evidence that fluoride causes cancer, and suggested that a review panel set up
by the government to review the data had deliberately downgraded the results. He
was vindicated in December of 1992 when Administrative Law Judge David A. Clark,
Jr. ordered EPA to give him back his job, with back pay, legal expenses and
$50,000 in damages. EPA appealed, but the appeal was turned down in 1994 by
Secretary of Labor, Robert B. Reich who accused EPA of firing Dr. Marcus in
retaliation for speaking his mind in public. Reich found among other things that
EPA had shredded important evidence that would have supported Dr. Marcus in
court. The original trial proceedings also show that EPA
employees who wanted to
testify on behalf of Dr. Marcus were threatened by their own management. EPA
officials also forged some of his time cards, and then accused him of misusing
his official time.

*Harvard Professor: Hiding a Link to cancer from fluoride?*
A chronicle of the abuse of power and of the manufacture of state-sponsored
medical propaganda, The Fluoride Deception reveals how military and industry
scientists and public health officials buried
information about /fluoride's
potential for human harm/, while promoting its use in dentistry.
http://www.fluoridealert.org/bryson.htm
The Fluoride Deception reveals that fluoride pollution was the greatest legal
threat facing the wartime Manhattan Project. /And the book documents how a
secretive group of powerful industries, who all faced extensive litigation for
fluoride pollution, collaborated with the Institute of Dental Research to
launder fluoride's image./ We'll meet the dissident scientists who
warned us about fluoride from the beginning. We'll sit with the famous
doctor who'd alerted America in the 1950's to the dangers of cigarette
smoking, who reported that fluoride was a systemic poison, with tens of
thousands of citizens uniquely sensitive to even tiny doses. We'll walk the
cobbled streets of Donora, Pennsylvania, in the shrouded aftermath of the
nation's most notorious air pollution disaster
in 1948, and meet the
scientist who blamed -fluoride for the deaths.
Today, that scientist joins a growing number of health experts who call
fluoride a venomous and hydra-headed poison. They suspect its involvement in a
host of modern illnesses, including arthritis, bone cancer, and emphysema, and a
spectrum of central nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and
the epidemic of attention deficit disorder sweeping America's children.

*Fluoride a health risk, doctors' group says representing 3,500 members*

Halton might pull plug on fluoridated water
http://www2.fluoridealert.org/Alert/Canada/Ontario/Halton-wants-to-stop-fluoridating-water
On behalf of the 3,500 members of the Canadian Association of Physicians for
the Environment, I'm writing to support the proposed ban on fluoride in
Halton's drinking water.
The decline in caries (cavities) in communities that are fluoridated has been
significant -- but so is the decline in communities that are not fluoridated.
For example, B.C. drinking
water is 95 per cent nonfluoridated, whereas drinking
water in Alberta is 75 per cent fluoridated; yet the two provinces have similar
rates of caries.
Fluoridation comes with significant risks. Animal studies have shown the
chemical is a potential immunotoxin, embryotoxin and neurotoxin.. Because
fluoridation is unlikely to be the cause of caries decline in North America and
because the potential for adverse effects is real, we believe fluoridation of
drinking water is scientifically untenable.

Monroe attorney Milton Dale Peacock writes in the News Star "I am not a
scientist, but my father, Dr. Milton O. Peacock, was. Daddy was a brilliant
scientist and educator who fought tirelessly and successfully against the folly
of fluoridation. He saw clearly its dangers. My father entered into glory on
Jan. 19. It is my duty to defend the truth he knew."
"Serious scientific research has revealed numerous dangers and potential
dangers from the ingestion of fluoride. Those include bone cancer, increased
bone fractures, lead poisoning, brain damage and dental fluorosis...If this bill
is passed, encourage our fine governor to veto it," writes Peacock.
“The Louisiana Dental Association misinformed legislators about
fluoride's safety,” says attorney Paul Beeber, President, New York State
Coalition
Opposed to Fluoridation, Inc.
For example, their online letter to legislators says, "more than six
decades of research, literally thousands of studies and the experience of more
than 170 million Americans tell us that fluoridation is safe, effective and
economical in preventing tooth decay."
However, the most recent review of fluoride toxicology is from the prestigious
National Research Council (NRC). In 2006, the NRC revealed that fluoride, even
at low levels added for fluoridation, is detrimental to the thyroid, diabetics,
kidney patients, high water drinkers and others.

extract: *Discussion*
The WHO Oral Health Programme continues to emphasize the importance of public
health approaches to the effective use of fluorides for the prevention of dental
caries in the 21st century. Everyone should be encouraged to brush daily with a
fluoride toothpaste. In addition, where the incidence and prevalence of dental
caries in the community is high to moderate, or where there are firm indications
that the incidence of caries is increasing, an additional source of fluoride
(water, salt
or milk) should be considered. Where the country (or area of the
country) has a moderate level of economic and technological development, a
municipal water supply reaching a large population, trained water engineers and
favourable public opinion, water fluoridation using fluoride at a concentration
of 0.5–1 mg/l is the method of choice (/48/). Salt fluoridation is a widely
practised alternative that has the advantage of allowing consumer choice. It
should be emphasized that "topical" fluorides such as toothpaste can
also have a "systemic" effect when they are inadvertently ingested by
young children. Indeed, three independent studies in Australia, Canada and the
USA indicate that 47–72% of dental fluorosis in children can be attributed to
the systemic effect of fluoride toothpastes (/49/). Dispensing a pea-sized
amount of toothpaste, encouraging parents to supervise toothbrushing by their
young children, and the
use of toothpastes containing less fluoride by young
children are approaches to ameliorating this problem. It is recommended that
dental fluorosis be monitored periodically to detect increases in or
higher-than-acceptable levels of fluorosis. Action, such as adjusting intake of
fluoride from water, salt or other sources, should be taken when the prevalence
of fluorosis is found to be excessive (/48/).
In parallel, it is important to maintain and foster a programme of
health-services research that might seek to: • update our information on the
cost-effectiveness of water, salt and milk fluoridation against a background of
the now widespread use of fluoride toothpastes;…………
Such a programme of health-services research will help to maintain and develop
the outstanding progress made over the past half century in harnessing the
beneficial effects of fluorides.

Fluorides are cumulative toxins. The fact that fluorides accumulate in the body
is the reason that US law requires the Surgeon General to set a Maximum
Contaminant Level (MCL) for fluoride content in public water supplies as
determined by the EPA. This requirement is specifically aimed at avoiding a
condition known as Crippling Skeletal Fluorosis (CSF), a disease thought to
progress through three stages. The MCL, designed to prevent only the third and
crippling stage of this disease, is set at 4ppm or 4mg per liter. It is assumed
that people will retain half of this amount (2mg), and therefore 4mg per liter
is deemed "safe." Yet a daily dose of 2-8mg is known to cause the
third crippling stage of CSF.^10,11
In 1998 EPA scientists, whose job and legal duty it is
to set the Maximum
Contaminant Level, declared that this 4ppm level was set fraudulently by outside
forces in a decision that omitted 90 percent of the data showing the mutagenic
properties of fluoride.^12
The ////Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products, 5th Edition// (1984) gives
lead a toxicity rating of 3 to 4 (3 = moderately toxic, 4 = very toxic) and the
EPA has set 0.015 ppm as the MCL for lead in drinking water--with a goal of
0.0ppm. The toxicity rating for fluoride is 4, yet the MCL for fluoride is
currently set at 4.0ppm, over 250 times the permissable level for lead.

*Extract: American Dentists Association Admits: Fluoride
of Concern to Kidney
Patients** *
/By //Sally Stride//, Opednews, 06/29/08/
On June 19, 2008 the American Dental Association updated its website reporting
that
fluoride is a concern to all kidney patients, not just those on dialysis.
Along with false assurances of safety, fluoride chemicals are added to some
public and
bottled water in the unscientific belief it reduces cavities.
Fluoride-induced bone damage could occur in kidney patients who consume even
"optimally" fluoridated water because malfunctioning kidneys do not
properly sift
fluoride from the blood and out of the body. Fluoride can build up in bones
making
them brittle and fracture
For this reason, the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) withdrew its fluoridation
endorsement in October 2007, which they made public in a fluoride paper dated
April
15, 2008 with advice that “individuals with CKD
[Chronic Kidney Disease]
should be
notified of the potential risk of fluoride exposure.”
After the 2006 National Research Council's (NRC) fluoride toxicology report
was
brought to their attention, the NKF withdrew its fluoridation endorsement.
The NRC fluoride report was created by a 12-member panel of scientists to
review
current fluoride toxicology data at the request of the Environmental Protection
Agency
(EPA) to determine whether the maximum contaminant level goal (4 mg/L) of
fluoride
in public water supplies is safe.. The NRC says that level must be lowered. But
neither
the NRC nor the EPA has defined a safe level.
*/_At least three NRC panel members conclude that water fluoride levels should
be close_/*
*/_to zero, not only to protect kidney patients, but also thyroid patients,
infants and high_/*
*/_water drinkers._/*
*/_This would
effectively shut down fluoridation in the U.S._/*__
_ _
_But organized dentistry isn't going to let go of its pet project and
diminish its political viability by admitting_
_fluoridation is a failed experiment._ So they downplay anything negative about
fluoride
and in this case they want you to know that fluoride is only a secondary
concern. And,
of course, this writer wants you to know that secondary doesn't mean no
concern.
However, even the ADA seems to be covering their legal assets with this
statement in
their /Fluoridation Facts /booklet, “decreased fluoride removal may occur
among
persons with severely impaired kidney function who may not be on kidney
dialysis.”

However, hematopoietic cells appear to be sensitive to higher concentrations of

mg NaF/L). According to our previous findings, fluoride significantly decreases
their proliferative potential. 14
In conclusion, we see that fluoride is able to disturb hematopoiesis to

Extract: Dentists and WHO experts have predicted a very large caries increase
("a tide of caries") after termination of fluoridation.^49 Analyses of
the data, however, reveal a significant decrease in dental caries (caries
decline) after suspension of water fluoridation in Japan,^49,54 in the
Netherlands,^55 in Prague,^49,56 in the German Democratic Republic,^49 and
elsewhere. Never has any real increase in dental caries been observed after
water fluoridation was discontinued.
Furthermore, many fluoride tablet measures were stopped also. In

"The results range from an upset stomach to a situation that's
hazardous to the child's life. It's not appropriate to let young
children use fluoridated toothpaste by themselves." Like other medications,
the toothpaste should be stored in a place that's inaccessible to kids, he
says.
