Fluoridated water lawsuits readied
June 29, 2008 - 8:42PM
Attorney Robert Reeves has warned the American Water Works Association not to eliminate or tamper with documents that might have bearing on lawsuits regarding the drinking of fluoridated water.
Infants, diabetics and those with kidney problems are particularly at risk. The National Kidney Foundation has withdrawn it's support of fluoridation. There are impending lawsuits.
Daniel Stockin of the Lillie Center Inc. warns that "there is a rapidly closing window in which cities or health officials can act to end fluoridation without being held accountable for continuing to support fluoridation."

I am posting from a small town on the peninsula south of San Francisco. A few years they began to add fluoride to the water.
My strong belief is that this practice should stop. What I wonder is, what are the qualifications of dentists to guage the health effects of fluoridation, beyond cavity prevention? They are not urologists or neurologists or physicians at all.
They advocate also amalgam fillings -- an officer of the ADA made a false analogy with table salt, a compound of two toxic elements that is safe. But an amalgam is merely a physical mixture, not a compound.
My point is, dentists should have minimal input to this debate. They have, by advocating these practices for so long, "a tiger by the tail": they dare not change their tune. So they probably won't -- but we don't have to listen to it.

Hi Abe
It isn't just the dentists, even the UK Chief Medical Officer is a strong advocate of fluoridation.
