There’s good news on the fluoride front in New York City this week, but your help is needed there (and also in San Diego). Councilor Peter Vallone is introducing a bill to the New York City Council that would end fluoridation in NYC. We need help from all our New York City readers to support this effort to protect the safety of the NYC water supply and remove this toxic chemical from the tap water there.

If you live in NYC, please sign this petition from the Fluoride Action Network: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/…

Fluoride is a poison As you may already know, the fluoride that’s dumped into the water supplies in cities like NYC is actually derived from the toxic byproducts of the phosphate mining industry. Twenty-four studies have now been publishing linking fluoride to low IQs in children, including a recent study that showed water fluoridation strongly correlated to a statistically significant reduction in children’s IQs (http://www.prisonplanet.com/fluorid…).

Also, if fluoridated tap water is used to create infant formula, this can cause a toxic overdose of fluoride in infants, delivering up to 200 times the fluoride level of breast milk and causing fluoride poisoning (http://www.naturalnews.com/030123_f…). This can lead to cancer, tooth discoloration and neurological harm, among other side effects.
