USA - Fluoridation will carry big risks

The vast majority of citizens in Louisiana are unaware of the fact legislation was passed to mandate fluoridation of water supplies in every community of this beautiful but threatened state.
Most are unaware of the health risks connected to fluoridation. The controversy began in the 1950s and '60s.
If we are seeking some enlightenment on the subject, I invite everyone to go to the Internet and type in the name of Paul Connett. Dr. Connett has now retired as a professor of chemistry in St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. He is a highly respected scientist and prophetic spokesperson for protection of our environment.
When his name appears on the Internet, there will 50-plus reasons for opposing fluoridation.
We need not be scientists to understand Dr. Connett's arguments.
The decision of governments to treat our water is inherently risky. If fluoride is necessary to prevent tooth decay in children, what of other threats to their well-being?
When I taught for two years in a local middle school, secretaries came into the library to dispense medications for the restless students. If fluoride is necessary for our teeth, perhaps other medications for nerves will be considered for our water supplies in the future as anxiety builds over loss of jobs and economic hardships in the 21st century.
Please read the 50 reasons and try to decide if fluoridation is what Lafayette needs in the water supply. Urge all in positions of authority to do more research.
