USA - Group wants fluoride out of drinking water

Since the early 1970s, the city of Silverton has added fluoride to its drinking water.
But a group of local residents, led by Clint Simmons of Silverton, are not happy with the practice and would like to put a stop to it.
Simmons said he was drawn to the issue after watching voters in Portland debate fluoridation last year.

“I used to think it’s just conspiracy based,” Simmons said. “I started looking into it and I found there is a lot data that supports not putting it in the water.”

Water fluoridation is a controversial and multi-faceted issue and Simmons hopes to promote thoughtful, intelligent, and fact-based conversation on the subject.
Chief among the arguments against fluoridation is forcing medicine on people without their consent.
Another thought is that is it impossible to control the dose each person receives because people drink different amounts of water. Manual laborers, athletes, diabetics, and people with kidney disease drink substantially more water than others..............
