Communities That Have Rejected Fluoridation
Most developed nations, including the vast majority of western Europe, do not fluoridate their drinking water. Cities that do not fluoridate their water include: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Basel, Berlin, Copenhagen, Florence, Frankfurt, Geneva, Glasgow, Helsinki, London, Montreal, Oslo, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Tokyo, Vancouver, Venice, Vienna, and Zurich.
Since health authorities in North America have refused to let go of the fluoridation paradigm, local communities are doing the work for them. For a brief history on public opposition to fluoridation in the U.S., click here.
If the dental and chemical lobbies had their way, you would never know about the millions of people who live in communities that have successfully fought to prohibit the addition of fluoridation chemicals to their drinking water. Fluoridationists would like us all to believe that the practice is continuing to expand, and that the trend is firmly in favor of more towns initiating the practice. However, this is just more propaganda, as the CDC’s own stats and our records of community victories have affirmed.
According to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC, 2020) the percentage of the U.S. population served by water systems receiving fluoridated water has been decreasing over the past decade, not expanding, and well over 1,400 communities have stopped having fluoridation chemicals added to their water systems since 2010, with many more rejecting fluoridation since 1990.
Citizens have teamed up with FAN or used our resources and contacts in many battles to end fluoridation or defeat fluoridation proposals, including large water systems like Portland, Oregon (pop. 900,000), Wichita, Kansas (pop. 395,000), and Bucks County, Pennsylvania (646,000) and State College, Pennsylvania (70,000).
As summarized by the New York Times:“For decades, the issue of fluoridated water remained on the fringes... But as more places, like Fairbanks and parts of Canada, take up the issue in a more measured way, it is shifting away from conspiracy and toward the mainstream. The conclusion among these communities is that with fluoride now so widely available in toothpaste and mouthwash, there is less need to add it to water, which already has naturally occurring fluoride. Putting it in tap water, they say, is an imprecise way of distributing fluoride; how much fluoride a person gets depends on body weight and water consumed.”
Below you will find a list of over 500 “success stories” of communities coming together to reject the addition of fluoridation chemicals to their water. We hope this inspires you to visit our Take Action section and initiate a campaign of your own.
