The FLUORIDE ACTION NETWORK is busy educating the populace on the danger of Fluoridation of drinking (i.e. tap) water. Already, 10% of the UK (mainly the West Midlands and North East) receives fluoridated water. Other areas targeted for fluoridation the North West, Merseyside, Yorkshire, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Tap water in Southampton is to be fluoridated.
Dr. Vyvyan Howard, President, International Society of Doctors for the Environment.
* Almost all of western Europe has rejected water fluoridation.
* Fluoride's primary 'benefits' are topical, not systemic. There is no need to swallow fluoride.
* Children are receiving too much fluoride today. There is a need to reduce, not increase, current exposures.
* A growing body of evidence indicates that water fluoridation is ineffective and unnecessary.
* The fluoride chemical added to water is an unprocessed, industrial waste-product from the pollution scrubbers of the phosphate fertilizer industry.
* Just as fluoride can damage cells in developing teeth, fluoride can damage cells in other organs as well.
* Two-thirds of US communities, when given the chance to vote, have voted against fluoridation. Over 70 US communities have rejected water fluoridation since 1999.
Please don't let a few lazy parents family tooth brushing deficiencies adversely affect the lives of our babies and elderly.
