F.A.N Newsletter
The third video in
the Fluoride Action Network’s Fluoride Fundamentals series is now available. The latest production
features FAN’s Director, Paul Connett, PhD, discussing the importance of applying a regulatory
margin of safety in an effort to protect whole populations from the harmful
effects of toxic chemicals like fluoride.
According to chapter
20 of Connett's book, "The
Case Against Fluoride:"
"It is not disputed that, at moderate to high doses,
fluoride can cause serious health problems and other adverse effects. The
crucial question is whether there is a sufficient margin of safety between the
doses that cause those effects and the doses experienced in fluoridated
communities...this margin of safety has to be sufficiently large to protect
everyone, including the most vulnerable, not just the average
person. Moreover, it has to be large enough to protect the whole population
over a lifetime of exposure."
It is reckless to
continue promoting fluoridation when studies indicate that thyroid function and
IQ in children can be lowered by fluoride exposure levels found in "optimally
fluoridated" communities. Because there is no adequate margin of safety, the
practice ought to be discontinued immediately. Click below to watch the video

Emperor Without
Clothes
Clean Water Portland and Newport
organizer Rick North--who has also recently joined FAN's Board of Directors--has
written a new OpEd featured in Oregon's premier health-industry news
publication, The Lund Report. The comprehensive piece entitled, "Water
Fluoridation is An Emperor Without Clothes," highlights the absurdities of
allowing politicians to indiscriminantly add a drug in the public's drinking
water supply.
Please read, share, and
comment on the article.
Hopefully you've been inspired by Rick North's OpEd! Please now use that inspiration to help educate your own community about the latest science and known risks associated with fluoridation. Our supporters have had tremendous success getting countless letters to the editor published in their local papers over the years, and their efforts have educated thousands.

newspapers-
This is an easy way to educate residents,
journalists, and community leaders simultaneously. While we have set up an
automated system to make sending the letters easier, for the greatest success we
recommend cuting and pasting our letter content (found by following the link
above) into your own personal email to your local newspapers. You can usually
find the email address to letter submission in the opinion section of a
newspaper, or by searching the web for "[paper name] submit letter."
