Top Ten Reasons to Oppose Water Fluoridation

2018-12-03T13:09:52-05:00

There are many reasons to oppose water fluoridation, including safety concerns and health risks. Reason #1 to Oppose Water Fluoridation: Fluoridation is a violation of the individual’s right to informed consent to medication.  Within a community water supply, fluoride is being added to the water of everyone, even if some people do not want it and still others do not even know about the fluoride being added to the water or about its health risks.  Informed consumer consent is needed for water fluoridation, especially because of the alarming lack of safety for this [...]
