Fluoride Risks, Remove Fluoride

It is our impression that the tide is now turning on the question of fluoridation in the water.  The April 12th 2009 issue of Time Magazine included fluoride on a list of "The Hazards Lurking at Home."  As they point out, fluoride is "neurotoxic and potentially tumorigenic if swallowed; the American Dental Association advises that children under 2 not use fluoride toothpaste."  Of course that is far from the whole story, but it does seem that awareness of the serious risks of fluoridated water has built considerably.

The same issue of Time Magazine also has an article called "Flushed Away" about how many drugs are ending up in our water supply.

But is may be some time yet before municipalities remove fluoride from your water supply.  This issue has been fought for decades now, and the those who do not want to remove fluoride still have the upper hand.
