Only the EPA has the power to set an enforceable limit on fluoride in our drinking water.

Fluoride is a added to tap water to protect teeth from decay, but the federal Department of Health and Human Services has recently recommended a drastic lowering of fluoride levels following a government study showing that two out of five adolescents have streaking and spottiness (and sometimes pitting) on their teeth due to too much fluoride. A high intake of fluoride over time can increase the risk of bone problems There is even debate within the EPA over whether or not any fluoride is safe in drinking water at all. In 2005, the heads of 11 EPA unions asked EPA to stop adding fluoride to water completely. Why? Some studies point to a possible link between exposure and bone cancer, neurotoxicity and thyroid function issues.

Tell EPA to lower the fluoride level in our drinking water down to the safer level recommended by the Department of Health and Human Services.
