The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), a nonprofit group dedicated to ending the practice of artificial water fluoridation, has created an official petition aimed at putting a stop to federal government support of fluoridation, and eventually ending the harmful practice altogether. But in order to get an official government response, FAN must receive at least 5,000 signatures by October 26, 2011. [...]

Myth #1 – There’s nothing in my tap that could really hurt me or my family. FALSE: Studies show that many contaminants can be found in water from industrial chemicals to pharmaceutical wastes and residues, not to mention toxic heavy metals. Myth #2 – I should drink Eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day. FALSE: It is a good idea to flush your body’s system with water to remain hydrated during the day but there are some things you should think about before picking up your first glass. Click to read more…… [...] ” Water fluoridation is one of the greatest cons ever perpetrated against society (it’s actually not natural fluoride they use but a toxic waste byproduct of the phosphate mining industry). ” The days of artificial water fluoridation truly are numbered, and this has been made even more evident by yet another prominent group that has come out in strong opposition to the heinous practice. The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), a truth about fluoride advocacy group, reports that the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the oldest Hispanic civil rights organization in the US, recently adopted a resolution decrying water fluoridation as a civil rights abuse. The resolution declares that adding fluoride to water supplies is essentially an illegal mass medication of the public. It also mentions the many current scientific studies that highlight the dangers of ingesting fluoride, particularly among those with pre-existing health conditions — and that public health authorities have ignored this science in favor of their unscientific, pro-fluoride agenda. [...] Rev. William Owens, President of the Memphis-based Coalition of African American Pastors, has issued a press release denouncing CDC’s failure to inform African American leaders of the negative health impacts of fluoride, which fall disproportionally on minority, poor, and inner-city communities. [...] The federal government is recommending changing the amount of fluoride in drinking water for the first time in 50 years. The Department of Health and Human Services and Environmental Protection Agency are proposing the change because of an increase in fluorosis — a condition that causes spotting and streaking on children’s teeth. [...] About 28% of the children in the low-fluoride area scored as bright, normal or higher intelligence compared to only 8% in the “high” fluoride area of Wamaio In the high-fluoride city, 15% had scores indicating mental retardation and only 6% in the low-fluoride city. The study authors write: “In this study we found a significant dose-response relation between fluoride level in serum and children’s IQ.” Read More… [...] Rob Love, Heather Fazio, & Dr. Paul Connett Speak To Austin City Council Opposing Water FluoridationDr. Paul Connett, a professor of environmental chemistry at St. Lawrence University in New York and director of the Fluoride Action Network—America’s largest organization opposing water fluoridation—kicked off his six-day Austin, Texas tour at the Nov. 4 Austin City Council meeting where he pressed the council to consider re-evaluation of the city’s water fluoridation practices. Continued…. [...] Advocates of fluoridated water insist that the chemical additive is good for teeth, but actual science routinely shows otherwise, including a new study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association confirming fluoride as a toxic substance that actually destroys teeth, particularly those of developing young children and babies. [...] Workers at a US water treatment plant were amazed and disgusted at the toxic sodium fluoride they were expected to mix in to the domestic tap water supply in their region. So much so they refused to add it and released footage of it. [...] The establishment media will have to find a new tactic with which to ridicule those who oppose the fluoridation of water after a major new Scientific American report concluded that “Scientific attitudes toward fluoridation may be starting to shift” as new evidence emerges of the poison’s link to disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland, as well as lowering IQ.
