No matter who you are, you can change local fluoride policy.
In 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 72.4 percent of the U.S. population—nearly 200 million people—were using public water systems with fluoridated water. Since this report was published, the CDC’s Oral Health Division has been working non-stop, spending large amounts of taxpayer dollars promoting fluoridation throughout the United States, with the stated goal of having more than 75 percent of the population drinking fluoridated public water by 2011.
While an official estimate for the fluoridated population has not been reported since 2008, it’s likely that more than 200 million Americans are now drinking water purposely contaminated with this unnecessary and unhealthy toxin.
