UK Against Fluoridation

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

USA - FAN Bulletin

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently proposed to downgrade it's division of Oral Health from a "division" to a "branch". If the Oral Health Division becomes a branch, oral health issues may not remain as high a priority within the CDC, and the large of amount of time and money wasted on the promotion of fluoridation may be drastically reduced.
The House Appropriations subcommittee on Health will be deciding whether to approve this proposal, and we need your help convincing the sub-committee and your Congressman that the Oral Health Division should be downgraded. Much of the Oral Health Division's work is focused on the promotion of fluoridation and is duplicative of what the American Dental Association already does. Tax dollars ought to fund agencies that are dedicated to the protection of public health, and not the protection of ineffective and harmful programs like fluoridation.

Please click here to write your member of Congress and urge your them to downgrade the Oral Health Division.
Thank you,
Stuart Cooper
