Why is this important?

Water fluoridation is the practice of adding industrial-grade fluoride chemicals to water for the purpose of preventing tooth decay.
As is becoming increasingly clear, fluoridating water supplies is an outdated, unnecessary, and dangerous relic from a 1950s public health culture that viewed mass distribution of chemicals much differently than scientists do today.
Fluoride is a drug. By fluoridating our water, our city government is not allowing the citizens of St Croix Falls to have a choice in their own health decisions. Research has shown that fluoride is inconsequential in preventing tooth decay. Fluoride is a highly toxic substance that can cause a range of adverse health effects. Certain members of the public are at particularly high risk of harm. A growing body of evidence reasonably indicates that fluoridated water, in addition to other sources of daily fluoride exposure, can cause or contribute to a range of serious effects, including dental fluorosis, arthritis, damage to the brain, reduced thyroid function, severe bone disease and possibly osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in adolescent males.
Fluoridation is UNETHICAL because:
1) It violates the individual’s right to informed consent to medication.
2) The municipality cannot control the dose of the patient.
3) The municipality cannot track each individual’s response.
4) It ignores the fact that some people are more vulnerable to fluoride’s toxic effects than others. Some people will suffer while others may benefit.
5) It violates the Nuremberg code for human experimentation.
