Fluoride might justify price hike

Maybe some more research would be in line. I also thought that dentists would be the go to knowledge people on fluoride. Not so. Most speak with one voice repeating verbatum the talking points of the ADA. Indiana tested dental professionals and discovered that only 17% understood the new science of how fluoride works. Almost all still believed the disproved theory that ingested fluorides made childrens teeth cavity resistant. All the science shows Primary benefit is topical and systemic value to be unmeasurable. The logic behind ingesting was a pipe dream sold by industry with lots of toxic fluoride wastes to dispose of and a landslide of lawsuits for damage. The CDC has sold this false theory and the ADA was hooked. It is the cover stioy for the dentists to hide the very sad fact that most dentists refuse to treat poof kids. You could get poor doing that. Fluoride in the water has become the default care because dentists refuse. Many cities do not have a single dentist who will serve the poor on medicaid. Many counties do not have a single public health dentist. The ADA fights tooth and nail to prevent any workable solution to protect dental incomes.
Fluorides legacy is now proven to be visable damage of multiple teeth of defective enamel that is porous and discolored and especially in blacks pitted and crumbling with dark brown and black stains. This dental fluorosis is the only outward biomarker of fluoride poisoning and marks you for life. The current science shows it is also a marker for fluorides other risks such as bone damage and neurotoxicity like lowered IQ and behavior issues.
Dentists have made the best of this huge increase in ugly teeth and cosmetic restoration has shot dental incomes from below doctors to far surpassing with less hours worked. Its sort of like the CDC with Titanic policy is to ram the iceburg and the ADA has the life boat concession. No free seats here. This conflict of interest should raise some eyebrows and reporters should consider there part in this program which looks a lot like a con game.
Show us the FDA approval for this medical treatment.
Show one health study with emperical data on the H2SiF6 product used direct from pollution scrubbers.
Show one current study that topical is not how fluoride works.
Show data that drinking and eating is topical.
Show some effort to disclose both sides.
A real debate has dialog and science.

Since when does adding a toxic waste from the phosphate fertilizer industry (fluoride) increase the value of your water? In the entire realm of human history, no human ever "needed" fluoride until it became abundant as a waste product 60 years ago, following manufacture of nuclear weapons. Then, for the first time ever, we were told that we "needed" fluoride for our teeth. Kentucky is about 100% fluoridated, and leads the country with the highest rate of tooth decay and total tooth loss.

There should be no argument about this. Fluoride is very inexpensive and is available at any pharmacy as a nutritional supplement. Those who want it can stop by after wrk today and buy all they need. Those who choose not to ingest it can go on drinking the York Water Company's fine product without fear of being medicated against their wills.

Why would anyone want to add a toxic poison to drinking water ? How stupid is that ?

Mary Sparrowdancer- The AEC (atomic energy commission) was the force behind fluoridation and was granted the authority to rewrite fluoride studies and did to make an evil product healthy. The government felt it justified to protect the atom bomb project from litigation as you can not make a nuke without tons of fluoride. They make millions of pounds and damaged lots of workers but hid proof from workers to avoid workmans comp. You can read in the Fluoride Deception by Bryson. Lots of documents and Freedom of information releases that show fraud and deception by our leaders and the agencies that should protect us but instead protect industry. Jim Schultz

Please STOP fluoride ingestion. We get enough from our toothpaste, and we spit that out. Fluoride is the most reactive halogen. It is not a heavy metal, however it still is very TOXIC. Please stop!

This whole thing is ridiculous. Conserving water is something that we all need to do. The water company should cut high paid administrative positions that cannot properly justify a rate increase.
The water rates for this area are too high, they should think about a decrease.

Dan maybe you did not know but most cities made a big profit from water and then use it for general fund without informing customers. After robing the funds then they get rate increases. Yes we should conserve water but we should not add a contaminate that can not be removed and can injure people at added levels. Lots of things can be ridiculous. Do something to change them.

I don't think it is appropriate for a newspaper to endorse anything that involves the drugging the population of a state, against the will of many of its citizens. The full facts were not even presented in the article making it thoroughly irresponsible propaganda. What ever happened to sound journalism serving its readership? Friends, House Bill 1649 is completely unethical - please contact your state representative and tell them to kill this insane piece of legislation before it kills us.
