The third video in the Fluoride Action Network’s Fluoride Fundamentals series is now available. The latest production features FAN’s Director, Paul Connett, PhD, discussing
the importance of applying a regulatory margin of safety in an effort
to protect whole populations from the harmful effects of toxic chemicals
like fluoride.
According to chapter 20 of Connett's book, "The Case Against Fluoride:"
"It
is not disputed that, at moderate to high doses, fluoride can cause
serious health problems and other adverse effects. The crucial question
is whether there is a sufficient margin of safety between the doses
that cause those effects and the doses experienced in fluoridated
communities...this margin of safety has to be sufficiently large to
protect everyone, including the most vulnerable, not just the average person. Moreover, it has to be large enough to protect the whole population over a lifetime of exposure."
It is reckless
to continue promoting fluoridation when studies indicate that thyroid
function and IQ in children can be lowered by fluoride exposure levels
found in "optimally fluoridated" communities. Because there is no
adequate margin of safety, the practice ought to be discontinued
immediately. Click below to watch the video and learn more:

Emperor Without Clothes
Clean
Water Portland and Newport organizer Rick North--who has also recently
joined FAN's Board of Directors--has written a new OpEd featured in
Oregon's premier health-industry news publication, The Lund Report. The
comprehensive piece entitled, "Water Fluoridation is An Emperor Without Clothes," highlights the absurdities of allowing politicians to indiscriminantly add a drug in the public's drinking water supply.
Please read, share, and comment on the article.
Educate Your Own Community Hopefully you've been inspired by Rick North's OpEd! Please now use that inspiration to help educate your own community about the latest science and known risks associated with fluoridation. Our supporters have had tremendous success getting countless letters to the editor published in their local papers over the years, and their efforts have educated thousands.

This
is an easy way to educate residents, journalists, and community leaders
simultaneously. While we have set up an automated system to make
sending the letters easier, for the greatest success we recommend cuting
and pasting our letter content (found by following the link above) into
your own personal email to your local newspapers. You can usually find
the email address to letter submission in the opinion section of a
newspaper, or by searching the web for "[paper name] submit letter."
