Fluoride not safe

There has never been question or debate about the devastating harms that the fluoride ion, from any of its sources, can have on the human body and nervous system. The only question was whether or not the concentrations in fluoridated water were small enough to entirely avoid those negative effects. Research in the last five years has made it clear that this is not the case, and that ingesting fluoride by drinking “optimally fluoridated” water, is causing harm. It is time for us to admit that a poison is a poison and stop putting it in our water.

When we discovered that leaded gasoline was causing harm to children inhaling the fumes as they walked to school, we stopped adding lead. We didn’t reduce the amount of lead, call it optimally leaded gasoline and say there was no evidence to proved it was still harmful.
