I agree entirely with Valerie.  For example, I am not understanding
how fluoride can be mandated as a dental medicine without consent
of the populace, as 7 states now have "mandatory" fluoridation laws on
their books and it has been proposed in many more.  It is being fought
in court because cities that have anti-fluoridation legislation
already in place for over 20 years are at risk against their will.

Regardless that no safety studies have been done, even though formula
feeding moms are not ever told to buy non-fluoride water to avoid
having their infants overdosed by 100 times the amount in human milk
and that baby kidneys have to filter more fluoride than their adult
parents' kidneys due to their total liquid diet.  I've posted before
wondering how the AAP justifies any bottle feeding without this
warning in fluoridated areas.

Who do you think is on...(copying their own 1998 roster, page iii)?

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standards Committee on
Fluorides,  which reviewed and approved this standard (1ppm), had the
following personnel at the time of approval:

Thomas G Reeves, Chair, Chief Fluoridation Director of the CDC, Atlanta
GA
James A McKinzey, Vice-Chair, (LCI) Lucent Chemicals Inc. Ponte Vedra
   Beach, FL  (Producer member--supplier of fluoride product)
Paul B Maasen, Secretary, Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation,
   Wentzville Mo  (Producer member--supplier of fluoride product)

Now if they don't have to pay anyone to dump this toxic waste
by-product and just recycle it through our bodies in drinking,
cooking and bathing water...  But then they make profit from this
sale too!

Can you trust the wolves to guard the hen-house?
