I have read several recent reports about safe drinking water, including those referring to the Clean Water Legacy Act, with interest.
A primary aspect of clean water is that it remains as natural and untainted as possible. Every water utility in Minnesota is required to add a known EPA pollutant to city water supplies. This is hydrofluorosilicic acid (commonly known as fluoride). Our state lawmakers decided this in 1967.Despite noted scholars' objections to fluoridation (including reasons related to health, safety and freedom), Minnesota remains complacent in continuing this sorely outdated practice.
In contrast to information commonly spread by various dental associations, I encourage people to become informed about what comes from the tap and determine if fluoride is right for them.Personally, I do not approve of any form of medication in a one-size-fits-all prescription — particularly one that is added to our drinking water without consent.
