Barbados reached replacement level fertility in 1980 andhas had below replacement level fertility since 1985.Although the Barbados Family Planning Association (BFPA) was established in 1954, thepopulation control effort did not take off until 1967, when the government of Barbados decidedto address the problem of overpopulation by an Act of Parliament.Since the contraceptive prevalence rate is only 55%, Barbados’ below replacement level fertilitycannot be attributed to the use of contraceptives and is the result of covert methods ofdepopulation. In the early years of the depopulation program, Barbados subjected its people toinvoluntary surgical sterilization and to sterilizing vaccines. Over the past thirty years, however,the people’s fertility is suppressed according to advice from the Ministry of Health through“systemic dietary fluoride supplements for children up to thirteen years of age” and through“topical applications of fluoride” as a free oral health provision for adults of reproductive age.As a result, the people’s endocrine systems are ruined and this damage is increasingly reflectedin the prevalence of obesity, diabetes and cardio-vascular conditions. The 2000 Barbados FoodConsumption and Anthropometric Survey (BFCAS), for instance, “found the prevalence ofoverweight (pre-obesity) and obesity among adult Barbadians to be 55.8% in men, 63.8% inwomen” and “nearly 30% in young men and over 50% in young women”.74 | P a g e
