Below is an urgent action alert about the campaign to stop water fluoridation in Sacramento. Please attend the City Council meeting on June 22 at 5:45 p.m. and send letters to the Mayor and the City Council urging them to eliminate fluoride from the city water supply once and for all. Below that is a fact sheet about fluoridation.
Help Stop Water Fluoridation in Sacramento!
Water fluoridation has been one of the most controversial issues in America in the last century. While purported advantages to dental health are questionable, there is overwhelming evidence of overall health risks. The harmful effects of water fluoridation have been linked to cancer, kidney damage, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis.
With Sacramento’s current fiscal challenges, along with other cost-cutting recommendations, the City is considering the elimination of its water fluoridation program. Not only does Sacramento spend nearly $1,000,000 a year to fluoridate the water, but, as less than 1% of the fluoridated water reaches the target population, this expenditure is not environmentally sustainable nor cost effective. 99% of the fluoridated water is used for washing clothes and cars, watering landscapes, showers, toilets and drains into local rivers, streams and sewers.
Attend the Sacramento City Council meeting on June 22nd, 5:45 p.m. to support Recommendation #45 to stop water fluoridation in Sacramento.
Now is the time to eliminate fluoride from Sacramento’s drinking water once and for all !!
