Elaine, I agree about the pipes and I live in an apt bldg built in 1937,,,but our city NEVER added the lead laden fluoride until 2009...I was proud to live in this environmentally sound thinking city and NOW.....

All this "F" stuff starting moving into our waters in the 1940's thanks to Alcoa and Mellon family. This was in Pgh where I was born and raised in this water until I moved West. And I live with a body of OA and enough dental work to I believe prove it. Deep history on this issue.

As a commentor on the guardian article said: fluoridation is waste management.

So it can be said many health issues could be attributed to consuming this leaded water for decades (7)..
