Halt the reintroduction of fluoride to Pulloxhill and surrounding areas

Campaign created by

Anna Bragga

We, the undersigned, want Central Bedfordshire Council to halt the reintroduction of fluoride to the Pulloxhill water supply and surrounding areas until councillors have had time to look at the issue seriously. The Pulloxhill water treatment works covers:

Silsoe
Gravenhurst
Barton Le Clay
Harlington
Flitton and Greenfield
Shillington*
Westoning**
Streatley**
Toddington**
Flitwick**
Maulden**
Clophill**
Pulloxhill

* already partially fluoridated, so will become completely fluoridated
** partially served by Pulloxhill

Why is this important?

OVER 300 STUDIES have found that fluoride is a neurotoxin, and a new study published on 19th September 2017 proves again that the chemical lowers the IQ in children born to mothers consuming fluoridated water during their pregnancy. The research includes:

1) Over 100 animal studies showing that prolonged exposure to varying levels of fluoride can damage the brain, particularly when coupled with an iodine deficiency, or aluminium excess.

2) 50 human studies linking moderately high fluoride exposures with reduced intelligence.

3) 45 animal studies reporting that mice or rats ingesting fluoride have an impaired capacity to learn and/or remember.

4) 12 studies (7 human, 5 animal) linking fluoride with neurobehavioural deficits (e.g., impaired visual-spatial organisation).

5) 3 human studies linking fluoride exposure with impaired foetal brain development.

6) A new study published on September 19th 2017 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives shows a link between fluoride exposure in pregnant women and lowered intelligence in children.

Fluoridated countries do not have less tooth decay than non-fluoridated countries.

Fluoride in water is linked to thyroid problems which causes weight gain, depression and tiredness.

The chemicals used to fluoridate the water are hazardous waste by-products of the phosphate fertiliser industry. It is illegal to dump these chemicals into rivers and lakes or release the parent gases into the atmosphere.

When the water supply is fluoridated, there is no adequate control over the dose or who gets it.

If you do not want fluoride in your water and you live in a fluoridated area then you have no choice. This is one of the worst medical practices.
