  • Drinking problem: The case against water fluoridation

    Here at MU, our water is fluoridated. Alarming as it should be, this fact is unsurprising when we consider that in the U.S., nearly 75 percent of Americans have access to fluoridated water supplies.

  • Fluoridation is nothing to Celebrate

Current science tells us none of that came to pass; but fluoridation is still celebrated as if it did, […]

  • Windsor. Jarvis: ‘Even with these doubts, you keep giving this stuff to people?’

    Why would a city pay to force its residents to ingest nocuous industrial waste for no reason? That’s what the reams of documents on fluoridating water, the conflicting claims and counter-claims threatening to bury city council, boil down to.

    The Sanest Arguments Against Fluoride…And Why They’re Still Wrong IF FLUORIDE FAILS at the ballot box later this month—an incredibly distinct possibility, and something of a tragedy for Portland—it won’t be because of the kooks and the conspiracy theorists who’ve spent decades stoking panic about a safe, tested, and effective health measure.

  • Fluoride Could be Contributing to Early Puberty, Studies Show

    The medical and public health community is shocked by the news that young American girls are reaching puberty at ages as young as 7 years (1).

  • Water, Water Everywhere — Is It Safe to Drink?

    I still remember my first exposure to the nutty idea. I was reading an anthology of humorist P.J. O’Rourke’s early work from his National Lampoon days.
