USA - Letters: Brush away the habit of fluoride in water

The American Dental Association has recommend that fluoridated drinking water not be used to mix infant formula. The label on a popular mouthwash advises that children under age 6 consult their doctor or dentist before using. Most, if not all, European countries have now banned the use of fluoride in public drinking water. And recently the Environmental Protection Agency has quietly issued a statement calling for a moratorium on the use of fluoride in the nation’s drinking water.
Yet, most governments still call for the use of this substance in the drinking water, ignoring the increasing evidence that this substance does not prevent decay in teeth but is also a potential health hazard to the public.
What does it take to wake up our water treatment operations and government regulators to stop poisoning the public?
