Toxic Waste in Water and Food

On August 19, eleven EPA unions, representing thousands of scientists and other EPA professionals from across the U. S., issued a press release detailing their request that Congress enact a national moratorium on water fluoridation pending a full review of the science on its risks and benefits. They also jointly urged “EPA management to recognize fluoride as posing a serious risk of causing cancer in people.” Access their press release at:

These actions followed the recent flap over suppression of the Harvard fluoridation-bone cancer study (Washington Post-July 13 and Wall Street Journal-July 22) .

The Protect Our Water Alliance has provided an online petition supporting the EPA unions’ multiple requests. I hope you will join me in signing in support of EPA scientists and professionals. It is time to get fluoride out of our water.

Sign the petition at: http://petition.powalliance.org/index.html

Another good reason to sign the petition is Center for Disease Control’s report in their in-house journal the Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report (which does not get external peer review) that fluorosis has increased among young people.

Thank you for your consideration of this very important petition.

Very truly yours,
