We welcome these proposals and believe they represent an opportunity […]

What’s in the water? For many in Philadelphia’s suburbs, not fluoride. Why?

Note from Fluoride Action Network: This article is sadly one-sided. While cancer is of enormous concern, neurotoxicity is equally so. In presenting the safety of the fluoridation of drinking water, the author never mentions three recent mother-offspring fluoride studies (Bashash 2017; Green 2019; Till 2020) that revealed the fetus and the formula-fed infant are the […]

Water fluoridation – stopping the spread of misinformation

Note from Fluoride Action Network: Incredibly, Cockcroft states below, “There is no evidence of harm and there is regular health monitoring in fluoridated areas…”  Wrong on both counts. • The three most recent mother-offspring fluoride studies (Till 2020, Green 2019, Bashash 2017) reported lowered IQ in the offspring, as well as in bottle-fed infants (Till), […]
