A few expert quotes
Dentist: “If teeth are the only reason why you like fluoride, you better come up with a different reason. Fluoride hurts teeth, bones, brain, nerves, etc." - Michael Taras, DMD, FAGD (2015)
Doctor: “Right now we have 1 in 6 children in the U.S. with neurodevelopmental brain disease, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, low IQ and behavioral disorders, and 1 in 8 women who will develop thyroid disease. These two epidemics tell us that chemicals like fluoride and lead, both developmental neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors, have no place in our public water." - Angela Hind, MD (2015)
Toxicologist: “Fluoride is a carcinogen by any standard we use. I believe EPA should act immediately to protect the public, not just on the cancer data, but on the evidence of bone fractures, arthritis and mutagenicity and other effects.” - Dr. Wm. Marcus, EPA Senior Scientist (1998)
Researchers: “Consequently, although the World Health Organization continues to support F schemes for caries prevention despite a lack of scientific proof, the F schemes are not able to improve the crystal quality but rather contribute adversely to affect tooth development and increases the risk of developing postmenopausal osteoporosis.” - Mitsuo Kakei, Masayoshi Yoshikawa and Hiroyuki Mishima (2016)
Environmentalist: “Love Canal taught us the lesson that health, environment, and justice are inextricably linked. We oppose water fluoridation as it harms our health, it harms the environment, and is a textbook case of environmental justice harm affecting low income and families of color.” - Lois Gibbs, founder Center for Health, Environment & Justice, Nobel Peace Prize nominee (2015)
Take Action
Contact your representatives at municipal, state and federal levels. Tell them that fluoridation is ethically and economically unsustainable. Begin by signing this petition to Congress and the Institute of Medicine demanding a review of modern science and a controversial 20 year old Food and Nutrition report. Follow up with a phone call to your representatives’ offices.
