A groundbreaking federal lawsuit could ban fluoride from
drinking water, overturning a decades-long program aimed
at preventing cavities that has been challenged by mounting
evidence of harm.
The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) sued the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) under the Toxic Substances Control
Act in 2017, and it appears to be nearing its conclusion.
Under the act, citizens can challenge the EPA in court
when the agency rejects a petition to ban or regulate a
toxic substance. The FAN’s suit is the first in the 44-year
history of the act to actually get to trial.
The lawsuit has included pointed testimony from leading
experts on environmental toxins and admissions from both
EPA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
officials that fluoride could be linked to specific harms.
The lawsuit has also revealed government interference
in crucial scientific findings.
. . .
The main thrust here is that more recent scientific study
shows that excessive fluoride can cause neurological
damage to younger children similar to lead exposure - and
the EPA has kept denying The Science.
Yes, the complaints about fluoride go back many decades,
with some saying it was a commie plot to brain-damage
the western nations. The EPA and friends painted such
complaints as 'paranoia' and worse. And, at the TIME,
they would have seemed so because The Science had little
to offer to support such assertions.
So, is Gen-Z all due to fluoride ? Sadly no, can't make
such a convenient claim and send them all off to Brain
Damage Island :-)
But still, the govt came down REALLY REALLY hard for
fluoride over the years ... so much that it's hard to
think mere tooth cavities were the reason. It may have
effects State and/or Military covet. Of course there
are a hundred conspiracy theories about THAT ...
Of course with the rise of the Water-Bottle-People
and such in the latter 80s a continual dose of
fluoride from municipal water systems could no
longer be realized - at least for the lower-middle
and up classes.
