Panel decides to continue fluoridating drinking water

Sept. 11, 2012 02:00 PM

Phoenix will not remove fluoride from the drinking water of 1.4 million residents, a subcommittee of city council members decided Tuesday.

After nearly two hours of heated testimony from advocates on both sides of the debate, council members agreed without taking a vote to keep adding fluoride to the city's water supply. They could have sent the issue to the full council.

Councilwoman Thelda Williams, who moved to reaffirm the policy, said the medical community has provided sufficient evidence to show that fluoridating water has a public-health benefit. She dismissed claims that it lowers IQ levels in children.

"I just feel very strongly that I think what we're doing is the right thing to do," Williams said. "I think public health is the responsibility of government."

Phoenix has been reevaluating the issue this year for the first time since the city council voted for fluoridation in 1989. Several members said the practice needed a second look in light of new science and to determine if it's still a good investment.

Although the council members on Tuesday appeared to agree that fluoride improves the city's overall health by preventing tooth decay, they asked staff to look further into how the cost compares with other cities. Phoenix spends about $582,000 per year on fluoride.

Opponents of fluoridation filled much of the audience at the subcommittee meeting, often shouting claims that fluoride is dangerous or has been used by governments to poison their people. They said studies have linked fluoridation to thyroid and neurological disorders, among other problems.

William Hirzy, a chemistry professor at American University, testified against fluoridation, saying that the city uses a form of fluoride equivalent to toxic waste. At one point, Hirzy suggested that the federal government began promoting fluoridation decades ago to protect defense contractors who spilled it into water.

Public health administrators and dentists spoke in favor of continuing fluoridation, saying the overwhelming majority of scientific studies support their position. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and American Dental Association both endorse the practice.

Bob England, a doctor and director of the Maricopa County Department of Health, said fluoride significantly lowers rates of tooth decay, particularly in low-income areas where residents cannot afford dental care. He said that no "credible, scientific sources" have found any serious side effects.

I'd move before I admitted living in such a dumbed-down shithole.

Brought to you from the same minds that recommend GM food, vaccines, fat free diets, anti smoking even if the natural tar present in the cigarette protects your lungs from airborne radiation, chemtrail effects, and the many other invisible toxic chemicals that in recent years, we're not in the air we breath.

Enjoy the poison Phoenix. Just remember, they are really concerned for your health in as much as the NWO is committed to a world population of no more than 500M world wide.

**Screw it**

Damn, This sucks monkey balls....I'm in Phoenix!

**Screw it**

And corporations start kids out early! Double Dose!

Wow! What a waste of money to add that chemical to ALL city water! The water dept should just mail out fluoride pills to those that want them, and charge them. They would make a small profit.
Instead they are going to throw away money to fluoridate water that will go onto the lawn, to wash clothes, etc. Stupid waste of money which do doubt raises the water bill price.

My friend, I understand your position.

Simple fact 1: I opened my eyes and started READING.

Simple fact 2: The government provides enough documentation to prove they are criminally negligent (at the very least) in matters pertaining to our health. Personally, I believe it goes MUCH deeper than that.

I must confess I don't understand how anyone can continue to defend fluoridation with all the evidence that has come out in recent years. Is there a conspiracy by TPTB to dumb us down with it? I think it was sold to the American people at a time when they trusted the government. Now we know not to trust the government and they insist on controling us through taxes, vaccines, laws of every kind, and propaganda that would make Goebbels blush.
