Macomb, Ill. — What would you say if I told you that your government officials had decided to put low levels of a hazardous drug in our drinking water? Would you be upset? You should be.
Unfortunately, this has been going on in Illinois for the past 44 years.
Fluoride was first mandated in all Illinois drinking water in 1967. The real history of why this took place is too long, confusing and political to explain here. You’ll need to research that yourself. It will suffice to say that fluoride in our water is supposed to prevent cavities in our teeth.
I am going to give you some information from respected world sources that may surprise you:
1) The World Health Organization data states that non-fluoridated countries in Europe have, without exception, had the same general decline in tooth decay over the past 50 years as seen in the US. This is thought to be due to better nutrition and improved dental care. Dr. Hardy Limeback, professor of preventative dentistry at University of Toronto, states that Toronto, after 36 years of fluoridation, has a higher rate of cavities than Vancouver, which has never used fluoride in its water.....
