Paul Connett received his B.A. (Honors) in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University, England in 1962 and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 1983. He is Professor Emeritus in Environmental Chemistry at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY, where he taught chemistry and toxicology for 23 years.
Paul is a world authority on the science and toxicology of fluoride and the legal and ethical issues of water fluoridation, having researched the literature on fluoride’s toxicity and the fluoridation debate for 22 years. He first published his paper 50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation in 2004 and co-authored the book The Case Against Fluoride, published in 2011. He helped to found and is now Executive Director, of the US-based Fluoride Action Network (FAN). For the past 35 years Paul has (without fee) helped communities around the world understand the science of controversial issues like fluoridation and incineration. In addition to explaining the dangers of these practices he offers details of the alternatives. Paul has traveled extensively for fluoride: In the summer of 2000 he was invited by the York University team, which reviewed fluoridation for the British government, to peer review their report. His critique can be found here. In October 2000, he was invited by the Irish government to present his views on fluoridation before the Fluoridation Forum, a panel established by the Irish Ministry of Health. In June 2001, Paul (together with Dr. William Hirzy) was invited to debate proponents of fluoridation at the annual conference of the Association for Science in the Public Interest (ASIPI) in Richmond, Virginia. The proponents refused to participate in this debate. In October, 2001, Paul was invited by the Japanese Society for Fluoride Research to address a meeting of their society in Tokyo. In November 2001, Paul (together with Dr. Phyllis Mullenix) were invited by the American College of Toxicology to debate proponents, but they again refused. On both the above occasions Dr. Connett gave a presentation of the arguments against fluoridation in lieu of the debate. In January of 2003, Paul presented a keynote address on a weight of evidence analysis of the impact on water fluoridation on bone quality at the XXVth Conference of the International Society for Fluoride Research held in Dunedin, New Zealand. In March 2003, Paul was invited by the US EPA to present the opponent’s position in a one-on-one debate on fluoridation to be held at their annual Science Forum in Washington, DC, on May 6, 2003. Despite a six week effort by the organizers of this event, no scientist or official holding a pro-fluoridation position was willing to participate in this debate. In lieu of this debate, Paul provided a power-point presentation to a packed audience, which included 8 congressional aides, representatives from major environmental organizations, EPA officials and the media. The title of Paul’s talk “ Fluoridation: The Undefendable Practice.” On August 12, 2003, Paul gave an invited presentation to the US National Research Council committee reviewing the safety of the US EPA’s Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for fluoride in drinking water. On May 13, 2004, Paul gave an invited presentation on the dangers of fluoridation to the Irish Parliamentary Committee on Health and Children. In 2005, Paul presented a paper on Fluoridation and Osteosarcoma to a conference organized by the International Society for Fluoride Research and held in Wiesbaden, Germany. In 2007, Paul presented the case against fluoridation to a conference organized by the International Society for Fluoride Research and held in Beijing, China. In 2008, Paul presented the case against fluoridation to a parliamentary committee in the Knesset, Israel. In 2009, Paul was an invited panelist in three public fora organized by the South Central Strategic Health Authority (SHA) in Southampton, UK. In 2010, Paul provided testimony in a public consultation organized by the Science Committee on Health and the Environmental Research (SCHER) of the EU in Brussels.

Made an honorary citizen of Monte Maggiore in Italy in recognition of work on Zero Waste education and promotion. 2013. Made an honorary citizen of Grave in Chianti, Italy in recognition of work on Zero Waste education and promotion. A quote about fluoridation:
“In my view, the three most telling arguments against fluoridation are:
1) governments shouldn’t do to everyone what a doctor cannot do to anyone, i.e. force an individual to take medication without their consent;
2) The level of fluoride in mother’s milk is so low (0.004 ppm), i.e. 250 times lower than the typical level added to water (1 ppm). If you believe in fluoridation you are essentially saying that nature screwed up on what a baby needs for healthy nutrition;
3) The concession by the CDC that fluoride’s predominant action is topical – if it works on the outside of the tooth why on earth expose the whole body to this known toxic substance by putting it into the drinking water? Thus, when one learns that there is little decent science demonstrating that ingested fluoride is reducing tooth decay and there is a growing body of evidence that there are many health concerns, it not only adds scientific weight to these three very basic common sense and ethical arguments, but makes this practice even more preposterous.”

BSc, PhD (Biochem), DDS
Hardy Limeback is a Canadian retired full professor (now Professor Emeritus), former Head of Preventive Dentistry at the University of Toronto and Former President of the Canadian Association for Dental Research.
He received his PhD in biochemistry and his DDS from the University of Toronto. Dr. Limeback was one of the twelve panelists and authors of the 2006 US National Academies of Sciences/National Research Council’s committee on Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards. He has authored or coauthored over 100 publications on dentistry. Dr. Limeback is known for his stance against fluoridation, which began in 1998, stating that, “The evidence that fluoride is more harmful than beneficial is now overwhelming… fluoride may be destroying our bones, our teeth, and our overall health.” Prior to that, he had been called “one of Canada’s primary promoters of fluoridation,” publishing several papers on its benefits.

Dr. David Kennedy DDS, is a pioneering biological dentist who practiced dentistry for more than 30 years and retired in 2000 to work full-time toward improving the dental profession and public understanding of oral health.
Dr Kennedy received his BA Degree in Conservative Biochemistry and Physiology from the University of Kansas in 1967 and his DDS Degree from the University of Missouri at Kansas City Dental School in 1971. He then served for two years as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Dental Corps in San Diego, California. One of his duties was environmental cleanup of the Naval Training Center base for spilled dental mercury. In 1973, after the completion of his service obligation, Dr. Kennedy established his private practice in San Diego. He also established and helped build the Chicano Children’s Dental Health Center. In 1984, he founded the Preventive Dental Health Association. From 1988 to 1994 he served as Vice President and then President of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. Dr. Kennedy has lectured internationally to dentists and professionals on preventive and restorative dentistry and on the hazards of mercury and fluoride. In October 1995, Governor Pete Wilson signed AB733 into law which forces mandatory fluoridation of our water supply in all of California. The Legislature occurred irresponsibly, without examining the dangers such as hip fractures, cancer, dental fluorosis and other harmful effects, which have been linked to fluoride in scientific literature. Dr Kennedy founded Citizens for Safe Drinking (CFSD) in California. This group and other similar organisations worldwide continue efforts to prohibit fluoridation based only on international scientific evidence. In this regard, CFSD educates the public and provides city councils and citizen groups with solid scientific information about the dangers of fluoridation. Dr Kennedy has lectured to dentists, physicians and other health professionals all over the world on the subjects of preventive dental health, mercury toxicity, and fluoride. He is the author of the book How To Save Your Teeth With Toxic Free Preventive Dentistry that provides instruction and insight for both professionals and the layman on how to provide and receive toxic-free dentistry.
In 1968 I graduated from the Northeastern State University located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, with a BSc degree – a major in biology and minors in chemistry and sociology. Ithen graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry in 1972. I moved back to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and opened my general dentistry practice in 1973.
While in dental school I began to see that as dental students we were being taught how to treat the symptoms of a dental disease process and virtually no training about treating the cause of that disease process. After dental school I independently began to study the works of Charles C. Bass MD. Retiring in 1940, Dr. Bass had served as a professor of experimental medicine as well as the Dean of Tulane Medical School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Bass was also the medical doctor the United States sent to the Panama Canal construction site to solve the malaria problem, which he did. In addition to his medical career Dr. Bass had a long standing concern with the “deplorable” dental conditions he noticed in his patients, students and faculty at Tulane. After his retirement Tulane supplied Bass with an office and research space to continue his interest in solving the dental disease process. Bass eventually figured out the cause of the tooth decay and gum disease problems and in the early 1940’s this retired gentleman spent a tremendous amount of time and effort attempting to get the dental profession to listen to him and share his research with humanity. The dental profession had absolutely zero listening; they just ignored Bass and referred to him as a cantankerous old man who should not be listened to. When I studied Bass’ research studies I ran across one of his research papers where he described how fluoride caused damage to not only the teeth but also caused/contributed to systemic health problems. It was out of this fluoride research of Bass’ that I woke up in 1977 to what I now refer to as the Fluoride Fraud. Over the next couple of years I conducted an in-depth investigation of the history of this fluoride fraud. I found that at one time the American Dental Association and the American Medical Association and the US Public Health Service were all strongly opposed to the human consumption of fluoride in any form. Then in the early 1940’s they all did an overnight about face and began to claim that water fluoridation was God’s gift to humanity. In time I decided that to get my findings out to reach the most folks about this fluoride fraud scenario that an educational web site would be the best route. To read more about the Fluoride Fraud please visit this section on my educational website: www.DentalConfessions.com. You can also read about Dr. Bass’ research in the Gingival Sulcus section.

BSc (Hons)
Physiology, Biochemistry, Zoology
Doug Cross is a Forensic Ecologist, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, and has Professional Chartered status in both Biology and Science. He graduated in Zoology from Southampton University in 1964, having worked previously in physics research at the National Physical Laboratory and as a military Medical Radiographer. Subsequently he carried out pioneering ecotoxicological research on fish for the British Government, managed the fisheries of Cornwall as a Fisheries Office, and then established undergraduate courses in Applied Ecology for undergraduates in Coventry.
After leaving academia he became a freelance Consultant in Forensic Ecology, in which he has practiced for for over 40 years. He has contracted as a Consultant, Team Leader and Mission Leader for Law Firms, many of the largest Civil Engineering Consortia, as well as most of the major International Development Agencies, in approximately 35 countries. Doug’s expertise is founded on his professional experience and interventions into environmental activities in which criminal actions – either overt, such as in pirate attacks on shipping, or covert, for example in the ecocide currently threatening the Mekong Basin – require evidence for punitive or remedial intervention. His assignments have included multi-sectoral environmental and public health reviews and planning, and he has frequently worked within the medical and public health sectors to improve facilities and reduce environmental risks of contamination and contagion. Doug and his wife, Liz Vaughan, run UK Councils Against Fluoridation, and his expertise on the applicability of medical law to this controversial practice has proved crucial to the public resistance nationwide, justifying sustained opposition to State-imposed ‘mass medication’. Doug has published many articles on the ethics and legitimacy of water fluoridation. These include recent analyses and commentaries on water fluoridation in peer-reviewed scientific Journals. These form a unique resource, and some can be accessed on his Researchgate web pages His central question about the continued support for the practice of fluoridation by the dental public health sector is, why do you think that you are free to practice medicine in absolute violation of your National code of medicinal law? In his opinion, if the practice is in breach of law, then the question of its safety and efficacy is irrelevant.
