It seems the nation, like the U.S., thought (or pretended to think) that fluoride offered enough benefit to risk the populations health. Hoowever, Izun Hozer Association for Dissemination of Health Education and\u00a0Yaacov Gurman\u00a0petitioned\u00a0Israel\u2019s\u00a0highest court on November 12, 2012, demanding that water fluoridation come to a halt due to not only potential health concerns, but also because fluoride provides virtually no benefit. In April 2013, the\u00a0Minister of Health, Yael German,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/translate.google.com\/translate?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;js=n&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;eotf=1&amp;u=www.ynet.co.il\/articles\/0,7340,L-4366896,00.html&amp;safe=off\" target=\"_blank\">created a new regulation<\/a>\u00a0removing mandatory water fluoridation.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, ruling not only puts an end to not just mandatory fluoridation in\u00a0Israe, but all fluoridation \u2013 mandatory or voluntary.

An overwhelming number of countries do not fluoridate, including 97% of the European population. In fact, over half the people in the world drinking fluoridated water live in the US. We are the odd ones out.\u00a0Fluoridation is an outdated, unscientific, failed public health blunder. What I find remarkable here is that Health Minister German has been able to escape the unscientific belief system on fluoridation that traps so many public health bureaucracies in fluoridated countries.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A controversial substance not utilized by many developed nations, including Japan and 97% of western Europe, fluoride is without question destroying people\u2019s health, all under the guise of protecting the teeth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 1977, it was shown that fluoridation\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/naturalsociety.com\/top-scientist-fluoride-already-shown-to-cause-10000-cancer-deaths\/\" target=\"_blank\">caused about\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/naturalsociety.com\/top-scientist-fluoride-already-shown-to-cause-10000-cancer-deaths\/\" target=\"_blank\">10,000 cancer deaths<\/a>\u00a0in epidemiological studies by Dr. Dean Burk<\/strong>, former head of the Cytochemistry Section at the National Cancer Institute and Yiamouyiannis.
