USA - Don't add fluoride
Don't add fluoride
to Sea Isle water
While reading the Aug. 16 article, "Lack of fluoride in Sea Isle water has some gritting their teeth," I found myself wondering why the latest findings of fluoridation's harmful effects have not reached the ears and desks of your decision makers. As responsible officials committed to acting on behalf of their constituents, Sea Isle officials made the right decision to stop the fluoridation practice several years ago.
Adding toxic, cumulative fluoride chemicals to the public drinking water is an outdated, failed and hazardous practice.
The consequences of fluoridation are fluoridated cooking water and a fluoridated food and beverage chain. Inevitably, this results in disturbingly increased total fluoride intake levels.
We urge Sea Isle officials and residents to consider the 500-page fluoride study report released by the prestigious National Research Council in 2006.
Also of great importance are the advisories of the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control that fluoridated water not be used in infant formulas. This belated caution came as one of the results of the NRC fluoride report.
Please also look at the Fluoride Action Network Web site - www.fluoridealert.org - to avail yourself of the latest illuminating data and details.
