European Court Ruling spells an end to water fluoridation

UK Council Against Water Fluoridation
July 22, 2009
Fluoridated water must be treated as a medicine, and cannot be used to prepare foods. That is the decision of the European Court of Justice, in a landmark case dealing with the classification and regulation of ‘functional drinks’ in member states of the European Community. (HLH Warenvertriebs and Orthica (Joined Cases C-211/03, C-299/03, C-316/03 and C-318/03) 9 June 2005)
Functional drinks are those products that have two different purposes – for example, nutrition and exerting a positive effect on some medical condition. They include ‘near-water drinks with added minerals’ and, in view of the properties claimed for fluoridated water by fluoride advocates, it must be classified as a ‘funtional food’, and therefore falls within the scope of the relevant legislation.
Medicinal law takes precedent over food law.
The Court ruled that, where two different sets of rules appear to apply to a product, medicinal legislation must take precedent, and the product must be regulated as a medicine. It emphasised that medicines regulators in member states do not have the power to exercise discretion on the classification of such dual-function products. The repeated refusal of the British and Irish Regulators to recognise fluoridated water as a medicinal product is therefore an unlawful misuse of their powers, and one that requires immediate reversal.
ECJ rulings do not establish new laws, but clarify how existing ones should be applied, and are enforceable in the domestic legislation of all member states of the EC. In effect, this decision at last confirms the claim that I have made for many years – that existing medicinal law has always required that fluoridated water be regulated as a medicine. Fluoridated water has no medicinal marketing authorization (’product licence’), and because of this it is – and always has been – illegal to supply it to the public, as the 1968 Medicines Act confirms.
As a ‘medicinal water’, the protection afforded by the water quality regulations that shield consumers from hazardous substances in drinking water does not apply. Its use in the processing of foodstuffs is also prohibited, under the food safety legislation. Aa a direct result of this ruling, all English and Irish legislation providing for water fluoridation are at last exposed as having been in violation of that fundamental prohibition, and must now be repealed.
Prohibition of use of fluoridated water in foods

But the Court also ruled that such functional food products must not be used in the preparation of foods. As a ‘medicinal water’ the fluoridated product cannot be regarded as equivalent to the mandatory ‘water for human consumption’ specified for drinking and food preparation. So now every food wholesale and retail outlet in fluoridated areas of the UK and Ireland, from the corner chip-shop to the largest brewery, from the small high-street bakery to the largest supermarket retailers – all will now have to either cease production or install an alternative water supply.
Implications for international trade in food products
But the ruling also has an equally profound implication for export trade in processed foods and drinks. The Court stated that even if a functional food product (or a food containing it) is legally marketed as a food in one member state, it cannot be exported to any other member state unless it has a medicinal licence. So any company making a consumable product using fluoridated water in its preparation or as an ingredient cannot now export that product to any other state in the EC, even if their product is permitted in their home state.
The economic implications are enormous. Not only does the ruling ban the use of fluoridated water for all retail catering and wholesale food processing in the UK and Ireland, it also prohibits such trade from these states to other member states of the EC. But it goes much further than even this, because if British and Irish processed foods from fluoridated areas cannot be exported to the EC, this prohibition must also apply to the importing of such products into EC member states from any other country that practices water fluoridation. The decision effectively bans all processed food products from countries such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand, unless they can be positively proven to have been prepared using only water that was not fluoridated.
What does this mean for water undertakers who fluoridate their product?
Before British water undertakers allow Strategic Health Authorities to order them to start fluoridating their water they need to be fully aware of the implications to them and their shareholders should they agree to do so. Not only are medical damages compensation claims likely to be far higher, with charges of negligently supplying an unlawful product forming the basis of class actions, food processers who lose their markets will certainly hold their water undertaker accountable in law for their losses. This ruling means that Courts in other member states of the EC must support demands from competing food processors that an embargo be placed on British and Irish products unless they can be proven to have been manufactured using only non-fluoridated water.
I have previously warned that this illegal product substitution cannot be permitted to continue, and that members of the public are entirely entitled to demand to be supplied with water that complies with, and is regulated under, the drinking water quality standards that are enforceable under both EC and UK (and Irish) law. Since the ruling must be enforced in all EC member states, water companies will now have to come off the fence and accept that fluoridated water is not an acceptable alternative drinking water.
The only way out – repeal all fluoridation laws and ban the product.
This decision completely supports the challenge that I have issued repeatedly to the UK Regulator, the MHRA – identify the case law that justifies your perverse claim that this product is not a medicine. Ironically, it was the MHRA itself that finally gave the game away, in a formal response to another Regulator, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). In what I can only assume was a deliberate attempt to mislead the ASA, the MHRA actually cited this case in support of its continued perverse refusal to implement the medicines legislation that it is obliged to enforce!
The beginning of the end – fluoridation must now be banned, worldwide.
This ECJ ruling effectively puts the final nail in the coffin of water fluoridation, not only within the EC but worldwide. It establishes a very substantial but entirely justified obstacle to trade in food products that are prepared without proper regard to the protection of the public that is enshrined in law. The ruling must be recognised and enforced not only in every memebr state, but also in any external state that wishes to trade with the EC in processed foods. So just what can be done to resolve the present unacceptable situation?
One solution would be to grant a medicinal licence to fluoridated water. But the Court ruled that any evaluation of a functional drink may only be done under the rigorous procedures required to scrutinise any pharmaceutical product. In the present state of scientific concern over the evidence of its lack of efficacy and safety it is impossible to imagine that such a licence could ever be granted. If it were, it would immediately result in a world-wide denunciation from the scientific community that is fully aware of the improper commercial influence that is at the heart of the international promotion of fluoridated products.
The only acceptable response is to call a halt to this controversial practice now. The experience of the past half century has shown that it is completely unjustified – indeed, it is responsible for what may reasonably be described as a pandemic of avoidable chronic fluoride poisoning. In ruling that this type of product must be regulated under medicinal law, the Court has taken the final step towards bringing this disreputable practice to a long-delayed end. Let us hope that national Governments all over the world will heed this decision – the economic consequences will be dire for those who continue to attempt to continue this discredited and illegal practice.

I’d keep a close eye on this to see whether it also applies to any drink that have been ‘enhanced’ beyond being ‘neutral’ water; does or would it include mineral water for example, anything in fact that’s touted to have *any* “health benefits”.. it’s potentially a back-door into Codex implementation.

Indeed, with the EU you never know if it a protectionist measure against the US for example who also have certain levels of fluoride in water. Of course, it could also just be a tactic to ‘win those concerned Brits over’!! Do not fall for it, vote UKIP!!

This is a good thing, however, its just the EU elites to make us think that the EU bureaucrates are looking out for us, better than our own government who pushed us undemocratically into this union. Don’t forget though, their still trying to sweeten Ireland to vote in favour of the EU. However, mark these words “When it is totally ratifed, thats when theie evil hand will be shown”. DON’T TRUST ANYTHING ABOUT THE EU, AT ANY COST.

You know the hell of it is

out of publc water supplies here in the U.S.
But they’re all such a pack of pathological
LIARS you no way could believe ‘em!
THE ONLY WAY any of this is ever going to
be restored to order is if CITIZEN GROUPS
MONITOR EVERYTHING. From voting to
police activity to schools to food and water,
ALL OF IT must be taken out of the hands
of GOV’T CRIMINALS and watched over by
impartial groups of citizens. GOOD-O,

i’d like to say HALLELUJAH – but im wondering what they will leave IN the water. Australia is now talking about adding fluoride to all bottled water in the very near future. for reasons of dental health of course. Now that I have had 6 months without fluoride I dont want to lose all those new neurons Ive been growing.

yeah ive heard that. dont you think that such a costly undertaking as adding a chemical to an entire nations water supply, that they would at least add a chemical that is actually beneficial to peoples health? i mean why not do a study, find out what vitamins the general population seems to lack, and then add those to the water? does that not make sence? why add something that has absolutely NO benefit whatsoever? i hear the dumbing down theory alot, and since i refuse to take peoples word for anything these days, i looked into it. and yes, it does seem to be the only real side-effect of ingesting fluoride daily over long periods of time.
but on a good note, at least people have finally gotten a win!
a change to see some GOOD news on this site for once

Brilliant. Hopefully this decision will stick & pressure will be put on other countries now in economic turmoil. Love this paragraph:
The decision effectively bans all processed food products from countries such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand, unless they can be positively proven to have been prepared using only water that was not fluoridated.
Europe also has GMO labelling laws, unlike USA & Australia which don’t believe its citizens have a right to know what they’re eating.

LOL, and in print too, The american coke company, called choke a cola by some, now has a huge marketing problem with its swill water and deadly plastic material in bottles, that is a double wammy, not to mention aspertane the brain eating artificial sweetner. ha, ha, ha, also, any product such as canned corn, using american water is normally a floridated product, not to mention genetically monsanto modified seeds, or Round UP ready. There are actually two round ups, the first is the deadly agent orange like weed killer used on the food, the second round uup is the one for dead bodies that ate that amerikan swill and drank the killing american products. TO ME THIS IS THE REAL NWO SYSTEMIC SLOW-ACTING POPULATION CONTROL.

Hey Alex Jones…
You are the leader of the ‘freedom movement’ and that means this is your opportunity to use your mantle to provide the platform for SOLUTIONS.
Put Lyndon Larouche on your program.
He’s the only leading ifluential figure in the Democrat party that can help mobilize your audience and the people of this country to turn the Obama administration around.
While you and Larouche may disagree about Andrew Jackson or swine-flu vaccinations, you both share an abhorrence of the financiers/oligarchy class and the Federal Reserve System they’ve used to ruin the United States and the world.
Have him on as a guest and have him on often until we can turn the OBAMA ADMINSTRATION around and this country around for a new development and Renassaince in science and productivity for all mankind.

This judgment would appeal to the free non fluoride thinkers in Ireland. As soon As the Irish say YES to the Lisbon treaty. This Judgement will be overturned. These guys are slick.

I’d keep a close eye on this to see whether it also applies to any drink that have been ‘enhanced’ beyond being ‘neutral’ water; does or would it include mineral water for example, anything in fact that’s touted to have *any* “health benefits”.. it’s potentially a back-door into Codex implementation.

Indeed, with the EU you never know if it a protectionist measure against the US for example who also have certain levels of fluoride in water. Of course, it could also just be a tactic to ‘win those concerned Brits over’!! Do not fall for it, vote UKIP!!

This is a good thing, however, its just the EU elites to make us think that the EU bureaucrates are looking out for us, better than our own government who pushed us undemocratically into this union. Don’t forget though, their still trying to sweeten Ireland to vote in favour of the EU. However, mark these words “When it is totally ratifed, thats when theie evil hand will be shown”. DON’T TRUST ANYTHING ABOUT THE EU, AT ANY COST.

It’s good if we can get rid of fluorination of water. However the principle that food that is good for you is medicine is a bad idea. See Codex Alimentaris.

You know the hell of it is
they could swear they’ve taken all fluoride
out of publc water supplies here in the U.S.
But they’re all such a pack of pathological
LIARS you no way could believe ‘em!
THE ONLY WAY any of this is ever going to
be restored to order is if CITIZEN GROUPS
MONITOR EVERYTHING. From voting to
police activity to schools to food and water,
ALL OF IT must be taken out of the hands
of GOV’T CRIMINALS and watched over by
impartial groups of citizens. GOOD-O,
Europeans…ITS A START!

i’d like to say HALLELUJAH – but im wondering what they will leave IN the water. Australia is now talking about adding fluoride to all bottled water in the very near future. for reasons of dental health of course. Now that I have had 6 months without fluoride I dont want to lose all those new neurons Ive been growing.

yeah ive heard that. dont you think that such a costly undertaking as adding a chemical to an entire nations water supply, that they would at least add a chemical that is actually beneficial to peoples health? i mean why not do a study, find out what vitamins the general population seems to lack, and then add those to the water? does that not make sence? why add something that has absolutely NO benefit whatsoever? i hear the dumbing down theory alot, and since i refuse to take peoples word for anything these days, i looked into it. and yes, it does seem to be the only real side-effect of ingesting fluoride daily over long periods of time.
but on a good note, at least people have finally gotten a win!
a change to see some GOOD news on this site for once

Brilliant. Hopefully this decision will stick & pressure will be put on other countries now in economic turmoil. Love this paragraph:
The decision effectively bans all processed food products from countries such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand, unless they can be positively proven to have been prepared using only water that was not fluoridated.
Europe also has GMO labelling laws, unlike USA & Australia which don’t believe its citizens have a right to know what they’re eating.

LOL, and in print too, The american coke company, called choke a cola by some, now has a huge marketing problem with its swill water and deadly plastic material in bottles, that is a double wammy, not to mention aspertane the brain eating artificial sweetner. ha, ha, ha, also, any product such as canned corn, using american water is normally a floridated product, not to mention genetically monsanto modified seeds, or Round UP ready. There are actually two round ups, the first is the deadly agent orange like weed killer used on the food, the second round uup is the one for dead bodies that ate that amerikan swill and drank the killing american products. TO ME THIS IS THE REAL NWO SYSTEMIC SLOW-ACTING POPULATION CONTROL.

Hey Alex Jones…
You are the leader of the ‘freedom movement’ and that means this is your opportunity to use your mantle to provide the platform for SOLUTIONS.
Put Lyndon Larouche on your program.
He’s the only leading ifluential figure in the Democrat party that can help mobilize your audience and the people of this country to turn the Obama administration around.
While you and Larouche may disagree about Andrew Jackson or swine-flu vaccinations, you both share an abhorrence of the financiers/oligarchy class and the Federal Reserve System they’ve used to ruin the United States and the world.
Have him on as a guest and have him on often until we can turn the OBAMA ADMINSTRATION around and this country around for a new development and Renassaince in science and productivity for all mankind.

A UK government official suggested fluoridating our entire water supply. Good luck with that, witch! You don’t do something like this just because the kiddies might not clean their teeth.
Fluoride is known to cause cancer, brain damage, bone weakness, kidney damage and much other horrible effects.

Okay. My question is, what water is left for human consumption, then? Or was the idea to curtail the supply of it, in the first place, by regulating it?
water, water, everywhere but it's full of bloody fluoride Reply:

I think in this case, the sovereign governments of UK and Ireland want to fluoridate the water, under instructions, no doubt, from the eugenicists, but the European Court has stepped in and thwarted their evil plot.

call you local city water authorities and tell them about European court ruling

Call your local Water Authority and COMPLAIN !!!!!!!
Ask them.
Write to your local level newspapers.
Most Water Authorities get their water from a local freshwater source like lakes or rivers, and then add it at the plant. (For your teeth….)
This can be done. Get the word out!!!!!
You would not be fighting a global beast. Just a local county Water Authority.

they havent taken it out yet. They are promising to take it out if Ireland surrenders their sovreignty. It is because they are trying to get Irish people to vote for The lisbon treaty in October. This judgment would appeal to the free non fluoride thinkers in Ireland. As soon As the Irish say YES to the Lisbon treaty. This Judgement will be overturned. These guys are slick. One press release and you all stand down. LOL!
