Modern science shows that adding fluoride chemicals in to the drinking water to reduce tooth decay(fluoridation) is ineffective, harmful and a waste of money

Will the ATVs be allowed inside the building?

It would be very wise to look beyond what the CDC and ADA claims are for fluoridation. The very current Pizzo review 2007 showed now 51% of children receive a fluoride overdose so severe that it leaves them with damaged enamel as porous,mottled,discolored brittle for life. Only one thing causes dental fluororosis and that is ingesting too much fluoride as a child before age 8. The ADA even warned to not give infants fluoridated water to mix formula.19 of the EPA unions now want an immediate moratorium on fluoridation. That is a huge red flag. Most of the developed countries know how foolish fluoridation is as half of the people with fluoridation are in North America. It is a failed policy.

Let's bear in mind, just because you find it on the internet, doesn't make it fact. Make sure you are checking with legit sites. ANYONE can build a website and place info on it stating the info to be founded in fact.
Government and tooth decay

Geez, I dont need to be taxed to provide Fluride to everybody in this city. Cant we even have the freedom to have Fluride free water if we want it? I can add my own fluride if I want it in my family OR NOT.
I agree

I agree "Government and tooth decay"!

The drinking water system should NOT be used as a medium to mass medicate people!

Dental schools and research facilities across the nation do not lean a deaf ear to concerns about fluoride. They have tested it and approve it. So does the CDC and NHO. There is plenty of proof that fluoride safely reduces decay and remineralizes tooth structure. Do you really think that international Health Agencies are part of a conspiracy?
CHEAP FLUORIDE

AS I SAID IN ANOTHER COMMENT, YOU CAN BUY FLUORIDE TABLETS FOR YOUR CHILDREN FOR ABOUT $4.00 FOR 3 MONTHS WORTH AT THE PHARMACY, THATS ALOT CHEAPER THAN WHAT WE WILL BE TAXED I'M SURE.

This came from the state. Any town with a population of more than 1000 people must have flouride unless they community votes to opt out. If you dont want it be sure to vote it down. It is the chemical lobbyists that get these stupid proposals through.
