Time to End Water Fluoridation

Time to End Water Fluoridation 
Fluoridation Is a Danger to Our Health: Recent science shows that fluoride is a neurotoxin that damages the developing brain, and an endocrine disruptor that impairs thyroid function. Neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors simply have no place in our drinking water.

Fluoridation Is Unnecessary: Unlike chlorine, fluoride does not treat the water to make it safe to drink. It is added for the sole purpose of reducing tooth decay. But fluoride is now readily available in toothpaste and other dental products, so there is no need to force it on people through the water supply.

Fluoridation Violates Our Rights: By medicating the public water supply with a drug, fluoridation violates the right to informed consent. No other medicine is added to water, and there is no reason to make an exception for fluoride.

Fluoridation Is Ineffective: Fluoride's primary benefit comes from topical application, not from ingestion, so there is little meaningful benefit from swallowing it. The vast majority of industrialized nations do not fluoridate their water and their tooth decay rates are just as low as heavily fluoridated nations such as the U.S.

Fluoridation Contaminates Our Food: Fluoridation chemicals are industrial waste products (hydrofluorosilicic acid) from the phosphate fertilizer industry. Once they are added to public water, they not only contaminate every glass of tap water we drink, but every food product and beverage made with that water.


There are far safer and less intrusive ways of protecting dental health than mass fluoridation of our water and food.

  1. Fluoride is a poison. Fluoride was poison yesterday is today and fluoride will be poison tomorrow. There is enough fluoride poison in a 7 ounce tube of toothpaste to kill a 25 pound child. Water fluoridation began before WWII was even finished in Grand Rapids Michigan home of Gerry Ford, you remember him he was VP under Nixon. Water Fluoridation is an important cog in the chemical castration of our youth not only slowing down future generations but causing a more rapid death rate. We have been lied to by our Board of Health and local politicians since day one on the matter of water fluoridation. Here is a great article on the matter. ChemicalCastration
