PROTECTING OUR FOOD: The Campaign Against Sulfuryl Fluoride

EXCLUSIVE: Water Fluoridation "Obsolete" According to Nobel Prize Scientist

Did you know? flouride

* Almost all of western Europe has rejected water fluoridation.

* Fluoride's primary 'benefits' are topical, not systemic. There is no need to swallow fluoride.

* Children are receiving too much fluoride today. There is a need to reduce, not increase, current exposures.

* A growing body of evidence indicates that water fluoridation is ineffective and unnecessary.

* The fluoride chemical added to water is an unprocessed, industrial waste-product from the pollution scrubbers of the phosphate fertilizer industry.

* Just as fluoride can damage cells in developing teeth, fluoride can damage cells in other organs as well.

* Two-thirds of US communities, when given the chance to vote, have voted against fluoridation. Over 70 US communities have rejected water fluoridation since 1999.
