Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 (WASHINGTON, March 21) - A new report from the prestigious National Academy of Sciences (NAS) concludes that the current allowable level of fluoride in tap water is not protective of the public health and should be lowered, citing serious concerns about bone fractures and dental fluorosis, a discoloration and weakening of the enamel of the teeth that the committee noted is associated with other adverse health impacts. The NAS report puts concerns about the safety of fluoride in tap water squarely in the mainstream of scientific thought. The committee called on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reevaluate and tighten current safety standards in light of these concerns.

Fortunately I live where they do not fluoride our water. linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
