I didn't know where to post this, so thinking we are actually being treated by the mass fluoridation.

More on polluted drinking water from Flint, MI. And no mention of the fluorides which is a waste by product of lead smelters, fertilizer plants, aluminum plants etc.

I Hope many here will sign the petition. For all of our health well being.

This among many other simple things in life
Water will be a commodity unlike the value of gold
You get where I'm going
We are imploding
And it's mostly our fault
Scientists are trying to figure out how to
Process sewerage water for drinking
Lord hear our prayer
Love
Me

I receive communications from cities across the U.S. weekly along these lines. Hoping all here will help.

One of our members has a new active thread on the "unsafe waters" we are exposed to and other exposures as well. This thread is on the PN group. Hope more will sign the petition.

This topic interests me and may not interest others here but I'll continue to add updates, victories, more challenges etc with our water resources.

I'm sad the petition isn't doing better. ahhhhhh

Talking about this subject with some others who are talking about rashes from their water and this came in from Jon R this morning. I follow Jon on some of his investigative reporting. Of course, this topic is at the top of my list.

Well, it looks like the good/smart people in NZ are losing their battle. The "pushers" are going to win. Money money money talks so loud.

A Cochrane systematic review of the effects of water fluoridation on caries concluded that there is some evidence that it can reduce the incidence of caries of both deciduous and permanent dentition in children.

However, many of the studies are old and are not of high quality; http://www.cochrane.org/CD010856/ORA...nt-tooth-decay.

This paper is relevant in the context of the claimed link between levels of fluoride in water and IQ score; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4265943/.

The authors looked at 1037 children who were born in Dunedin, NZ in early 1973. Some lived in areas where the water was fluoridated, others did not. There was no significant difference in IQ scores between the two groups, assessed either as children or as adults.

Community water fluoridation has been available in many countries since the mid-20th century. Quoting from the article; "No dramatic historical decreases in IQ have been seen following widespread implementation of [community water fluoridation] or worldwide introduction of fluoride toothpastes; instead, historical comparisons have documented substantial IQ gains across countries since the mid-1900s." See the article for details and references.

I think that this provides good evidence that community water fluoridation is not a risk factor for impaired cognitive function.

.

I really could care less about reports, fluoride does not belong in our public waters. If one wants to ingest fluoride they can order pills or they can swallow their fluoridated toothpaste.

What happened to choice on this issue..we're being forced if we want to use public waters.

The history is long and dark and where this "stuff" comes from..... I was born and raised in fluoridated water and a mouthful of dental to prove how wrong it was for my teeth.

One should be able to choose, not be forced. There is so much opposition worldwide and yet it continues, the forces keep putting out there money.
