Tell Vermont Legislators to Oppose Mandatory Water Fluoridation!

Even though the Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency are reversing their position on the safety of water fluoridation, and new scientific studies show that not only do high levels of fluoride harm the surface of your teeth, fluoride also increases the accumulation of lead in bone, teeth, and other calcium-rich tissues, transporting heavy metals into areas of your body they normally would not be able to go—like your brain. High intake of fluoride can increase the risk of brittle bones, fractures, and crippling bone abnormalities.

H615 (currently in the Health Care Committee) contains many provisions to do with oral care—so we are specifically opposing section 108a, which mandates fluoridation of water. It requires that any municipality, government agency, or other entity that owns or controls a water system shall maintain fluoride in the water supply. At minimum, this is a freedom of choice issue—citizens should be able to choose whether they want to ingest fluoride or not.

I was distressed to learn that section 108a of bill H615 mandates the fluoridation of water. It requires that any municipality, government agency, or other entity that owns or controls a water system shall maintain fluoride in the water supply.

Even though the Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency are now reversing their position on the safety of water fluoridation, and new scientific studies show that not only do high levels of fluoride harm the surface of your teeth, fluoride also increases the accumulation of lead in bone, teeth, and other calcium-rich tissues, transporting heavy metals into areas of your body they normally would not be able to go -- like your brain. High intake of fluoride can increase the risk of brittle bones, fractures, and crippling bone abnormalities.

I believe that consumers should at minimum have the ability, in consultation with their physicians, to choose whether they want their families exposed to fluoride. There are plenty of other sources of fluoride, if consumers wish: in toothpaste, mouthwash, prescription fluoride supplements, and fluoride applied by dental professionals. As your constituent, I am asking you to strike section 108a entirely. Don't force us to be exposed against our will to what scientists say is a potentially harmful chemical!
