History has been made. After 7 years of pursuing legal action against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the risk posed to the developing brain by the practice of water fluoridation, the United States District Court of the Northern District of California has just ruled on behalf of the Fluoride Action Network and the plaintiffs in our precedent-setting court case. A U.S. federal court has now deemed fluoridation an "unreasonable risk" to the health of children, and the EPA will be forced to regulate it as such. The decision is written very strongly in our favor, and we will share it in its entirety tomorrow. Below is an excerpt from the introduction of the ruling:
"The issue before this Court is whether the Plaintiffs have established by a preponderance of the evidence that the fluoridation of drinking water at levels typical in the United States poses an unreasonable risk of injury to health of the public within the meaning of Amended TSCA. For the reasons set forth below, the Court so finds. Specifically, the Court finds that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”) – the level presently considered “optimal” in the United States – poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children..the Court finds there is an unreasonable risk of such injury, a risk sufficient to require the EPA to engage with a regulatory response...One thing the EPA cannot do, however, in the face of this Court’s finding, is to ignore that risk."
The deeper question WHY, why are our cities still putting this toxic chemical into our water supply https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30868981/
Gotta get rid of that toxic sludge somehow. It's a by-product. 🙄
The Nazis used it to keep prisoners complacent. They still are.
It wasn't Nazis. There is no proof. It was the Gulags in Soviet Russia that did.
I seem to me this ruling would be strong evidence a town citizen could present to a city council, and the local community paper, whose editor is usually more conservative than MSM editors, to demand that the town quite putting the poison into the water system.
I grew up on a farm, with well water. As a child, we took daily "fluoride pills" that we chewed up. We had very few cavities, compared to my classmates who lived on well water, but took no supplements. It seemed at the time, my sibling's dental health was comparable to that of the kids who were on "city water". We are talking SDak back in the 1960-70's.
Is there a safe level that is beneficial?
I've seen this as well. There are multiple types of fluoride. Calcium fluoride is actually safe, Sodium Flouride is what they use to poison everyone.
No fluoride is safe.
whats your source for that? I have looked pretty deeply into this and have not found that to be the case. Calcium Fluoride is naturally formed in the mouth and found in teeth. Calcium fluoride is actually not used in dental applications because it has low solubility, meaning the fluoride is not easily separated from the calcium. Sodium Fluoride is easily dissolved and releases its fluoride ion very quickly into the body. That is why sodium fluoride is used more often, it is similar to the naturally occurring calcium fluoride but much more dangerous.
NO.
NO.
Without knowing how they brushed their teeth (or not) one anecdote isn't much help.
Some people are prone to cavities even with fluoride and brushing and flossing, it's just genetic how your mouth is.
Interesting.
