USA - Newport requests fluoride delay

Newport requests fluoride delay
Concerns surfaced that the water district had offered no data showing benefits over health risks of adding element to H20.

Newport Beach City Council voted unanimously Tuesday evening to send a letter requesting the water district delay the start of water fluoridation so they can evaluate resident’s concerns.“This is 2007. Nobody dies of a cavity ,” said Newport Beach resident Dolores Otting in protest of the plan. “It’s a barbaric form of medicine to force us to swallow poison.”Otting and several other area residents spoke out against the plan to begin water fluoridation out of concern for negative health effects. The anti-fluoride faction also expressed concern the water district had offered no data showing the benefits of fluoride over possible health risks.“Not all the people here are going to say ‘yay’ to fluoride,” said Councilwoman Nancy Gardner. “ I know their concerns are very real. If we could ask for this delay I feel we’d be serving our residents very well.”The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California plans to add fluoride at the Robert B. Diemer Treatment Plant in Yorba Linda Nov. 19, and the water district board agreed in 2003 to add enough fluoride to drinking water supplies to provide dental health benefits. The district provides 18% of Newport Beach’s drinking water.District officials have advised the council municipal drinking water across the United states has undergone fluoridation for the past 60 years, but some residents at a council study session earlier this month expressed concern over the plan.Council members expressed misgivings during a regular study session Tuesday over a proposal to put a wireless communications tower inside a clock tower in Mariners Park.Officials from T-Mobile, a telecom company, want to build the clock tower next to the park’s baseball field. The tower, designed to conceal antennas and other electronic devices, also could accommodate a scoreboard for the baseball diamond and message boards for sports activities at the park. The 49-foot clock tower would exceed a 32-foot height restriction in the park and would require a special permit.Councilman Michael F. Henn expressed concern the company had not done enough to notify residents living near the park of the proposed building project.“It is clear there has not really been enough public outreach on this issue,” Henn said. “It is a tall structure. There may be people who live around this area who may be opposed to something on this.”T-Mobile sent out a letter a week in advance to notify area residents of the public meeting, officials noted at the study session.Council members also said they would like to see a more detailed plan and technical data on the need for a structure exceeding height restrictions in the park.

" Fluoridation has not been proven safe and until studies prove otherwise our leaders need to protect us from forced pollution and medication through the water system. Claiming the state legislator has jurisdiction is not true, simply deny buying water from Met Water District. Help Newport Beach citizens. "

" Dr. Strangelove, do you mean we should stop worrying and love fluoridation.? Wrong answer. Donna G. that link does not work. "

" Fluoride is toxic, very toxic indeed. It has NEVER been proven safe, nor effective, not genuinely anyway. This crazy fraudulent practice goes back to WWII. One of the most toxic chemicals known, fluoride rapidly emerged as the leading chemical health hazard of the U.S atomic bomb program–both for workers and for nearby communities... To protect fluoride's toxic image, A-bomb scientist were secretly ordered to come up with a plan, to whitewash the public, to claim that it is safe!

" The studies of the effectiveness of water fluoridation in promoting dental health are decades old. No recent studies have even done. Statistics showing that areas with fluoridated water demonstrate fewer dental cavities than those with non fluoridated water are skewed and manipulated. In fact, there is credible evidence that areas with non fluoridated water, demonstrating a lower evidence of tooth decay, are suppressed. That the California- Dental-Association promotes fluoridation, carries no weight. The CDA is a trade organization and nothing more. The fluoride added to water is an industrial waste that cannot be legally dumped. Ila Johnson, Registered Dental-Hygienist. "

" The shame of this for the children, the sick & the elderly is that Metropolitan Water District is under no obligation to adhere to AB733 which applies to water agencies that have more than 10,000 service connections They are a wholesaler and have no service connections. They have no business adding hydrofluosilicic acid - the hazardous waste product of the phosphate fertilizer industry into our drinking water and giving us medication against our will. In essence they are using our water supply, our children & our bodies as their disposal sites. Not your Dentist's Fluoride! "

" First it was The Bomb. Now it is Fluoridation. Residents of Newport, we cannot have a Mine Shaft Gap! "

" To: ALL with ‘Common Sense’ to keep our drinking Waters CLEAN & SAFE. THE [MWD] ‘Directors’ announced so called ‘Fluoridation’ of Drinking/Tap Waters in greater Los Angeles and San Diego will get ‘FLUORIDE’ in their drinking/tap waters starting October 1, 2007. Politically appointed USA-EPA highest management is primarily in complicity to allow Silicofluorides to be sold and metered into our precious USA drinking waters. However, recently around 7,000 EPA professional CAREER Scientists, Toxicologists, and professional field workers signed a Petition to EPA top Management requesting ‘fluoridation’ be stopped.

" There's absolutely no evidence that fluoridation is safe and effective is reported in the October 6, 2007 British Medical Journal. Researchers scoured the literature, obtained 3200 fluoride/fluoridation studies and faound they failed to prove fluoridation is safe or effective and is probably, unethical. Tell Congress You Want Fluoridation to End here: http://www.FluorideAction.Net Currently, over 1,000 professionals have signed a statement saying fluoridation causes more harm than good and must end. Federal employees must be investigated for fostering this failed concept in the face of mounting evidence of harm. "
