The Fluoride Controversy


Those banning fluoride are Sweden, Norway, Denmark, West Germany (now unified), Italy, Belgium, Austria, France, and The Netherlands. Despite these retractions of fluoride, the US still presses on with the goal to fluoridate (poison) every community water supply in the United States.

This is the article I was reading when the question of whether the water I have in my hand is fluoridated popped into my head...

If you live in St. Mary's you can contact Metcom and they will give you the totals for each area.

When I took the baby to the pediatric dentist, they had a list at the office and told me how much fluoride was added to our water. Each sub division had a different total fluoride amount.

Good idea, I'm going to check their website.

Is this the list you saw? It's a 2006 report.

Sorry, didn't see you already posted. Yes, that is the list. You could always call to see if they have an updated list.

It is not fluoridated in St. Mary's. That list should still be good because those undeerground aquifers don't change much over time...
