I spent some time researching the current controversy over the fluoridation of public water supplies. When you think about the practice it for a minute, it doesn’t really add up. How many millions of dollars are we spending every year to add fluoride to our water supplies in hopes that it might help to make our teeth stronger? And if you think about it for another minute it seems more like forced mass medication more than a public health service. Shouldn’t we all have the right to choose whether or not we want to ingest this chemical additive, without having it quietly injected into our drinking water? And I’m talking about when you think that there is actually a health benefit. Then, when science and research comes out showing that not only is it NOT improving dental health for the masses as we were originally coerced, but it’s actually causing health problems to boot – isn’t it then time to slowly back away from the sauce? Well apparently not. A quick check of your local Consumer Confidence Report will show that the majority of towns in the US are still Fluoridating. Whatever the reasons actually are, I think the recommended mediation should begin with dissolution of the practice. Stop putting s**t in our water. For more information on why you should oppose fluoride in your drinking water check out what these folks have to say here:

To find out the levels of Fluorine in your own town’s drinking water call town hall (or go to their website) and ask for a copy of the Consumer Confidence Report.
