RE: Is the government, Trying to kill us?

in #health7 years ago (edited)

When "government" is being blamed for something, it's often a local or state government that is the real problem. In the case of fluoride, it may not even be a government decision at all --- but a private water company.

Community governments or individual utilities decide whether their water supplies are treated with fluoride, depending on whether the water provider is a public or private utility. The federal government, through EPA, just requires that the utilities provide their customers with an annual report about what's in their water. The state government decides whether those reports are forwarded to the federal level. You can check whether your utility puts fluoride in your water at this site from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: here. I can see that in my county, Lane County, Oregon, only 1 out of 69 utilities puts fluoride in their water.

I like your point! Hopefully more people will see the dangers of it, And work to change it.

Being a local issue, you don't have to convince a whole nation -- just your neighbors. Good luck!

^ This is very true. Also, I have sen cases where noise is made and so there is a vote done for whether or not to remove flouride in the county and the citizens themselves have voted for it to stay in the water. -_-

Thanks for that addition! I'm glad that the federal government is "the good guy" in this case -- without their reporting requirements, folks might never know what's in their water at all.
