Taking a Principled Stance on Water Fluoridation
January 8, 2021
Spokesman Review Op-Ed
Children at risk.
An alliance of groups have sued the Environmental Protection Agency, and has presented substantial evidence that the fluoridation chemical presents an unreasonable risk of causing neurological damage, especially to young children and babies in the womb.
Industrial waste.
Fluoridation chemicals are not pharmaceutical grade quality. They are, instead, unpurified industrial by-products that are collected in the air pollution control systems of certain industries. These chemicals are known to contain elevated levels of certain contaminants, particularly arsenic.
Denial of choice.
People with underlying health conditions such as kidney disease may need to avoid excessive fluoride ingestion. Fluoridation can remove a citizen’s access to pure water. This is an unnecessary injustice for susceptible populations – and any person who does not want to be exposed.
