Fluoridation on Trial

[CarryAnne]

I haven't commented for a while, but I did not expect to find that the thread begun in 2015 with over 350,000 views and I don't remember how many hundreds of responses would be deleted, but "Fluoride: Demand AARP Take Action" was deleted. 

It wasn't for inactivity because there are other threads that have been inactive for several years that are still live. Sadly, it is most likely because of political pressure to disappear the topic or more specifically, the evidence against fluoridation as a policy that poisons bodies, brains and bones from womb to tomb with the very young, the fragile and the elderly being most susceptible to harm.  

I saved a few of the comments that I thought were particularly good, and I can post them as images when I chose to do so.  But let's talk about the current events that moved me to come to this forum today in order to sound off. 

****************

“The Court has instructed Judge Chen to travel back in time to 2020 and make this ruling based on a stale factual record. Their directive to ignore years’ worth of evidence on fluoride’s dangers runs counter to the intent of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).” - Attorney Michael Connett (in The Defender, May 22, 2026)

Using a procedural argument, the three-judge Appellate Court sided with the EPA who claimed that District Court Judge Chen put the trial in abeyance for too long waiting for the National Toxicology Program's (NTP) Systematic Review to be published and consequently allowed "new evidence" of developmental neurotoxicity to be considered. Understand, we are talking about a mountain of scientific evidence that has been validated repeatedly proving early life exposure to fluoride causes subtle brain damage. EPA was not able to defend itself against that evidence in either the first or second part of this trial, but the EPA (despite what it claimed subsequently) did keep bringing up the published NTP draft and unpublished "Spanish Study" during the first trial, both of which were presented subsequently. 

Not only that, but government players worked behind the scenes to keep the final NTP Report from being published, which pushed the initial  "it will be available in 2 or 3 months" to over three years to publication - and that's only because of an internal whistleblower and the Judge suggesting from the bench that the NTP get it into print. The August 2024 Systematic Review Monograph was followed by a January 2025 Meta-Analysis. 

Judge Chen issued his 80 page Findings in September 2024 that fluoridation policy poses an "unreasonable risk" to baby brains and that EPA must take Action. Also discussed in the court Findings is the Uncertainty (or Safety) Factor of some multiple of ten that EPA applies to risks of this type. A single UF of 10 applied to the 1.5 mg/L found to be harmful would result in a Maximum Contaminant Level of 0.15 ppm which would eliminate all fluoridation programs. Currently, the lowest UF that EPA uses is 30 and most are around 100. The UF allows for different individual variations which include health and exposure, as in when someone drinks much more water than someone else the person with the higher intake gets a much higher dose/exposure. 

In any event, the Appellate Court decided the District Court and EPA should and could remain willfully blind to the evidence of harm published since summer 2020. That story is not over, yet. 

Now the kickers

First: Fluoridation apologists are petitioning the EPA to consider recent trumped up science like the 2026 Wisconsin study by JR Warren et al. that looked at a cohort born in 1940, ten years before fluoridation, who graduated from high school in the mid 1950s to claim there is no IQ difference. The authors assumed 1940 fluoride exposure for the population of entire counties if one well in a small sampling done in 2020 showed fluoride in the water. In other words, these high school kids had no prenatal exposure to fluoridation and doubtful exposure to any fluoride and the cohort excluded the kids who were unable to graduate. How the heck does that prove anything!!! (The Defender, May 1, 2026)

Second: Lobbyists are trying to undo the Citizen Petition element of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) that allowed the people to first petition the EPA and then to sue in court for a de novo hearing in order to pressure EPA to do its job of protecting consumers. (Bergeson & Campbell PC, May 29, 2026) 

Don't kid yourself, seniors. The government is not looking after your health or the well being of your grandchildren! 

Make a noise! Tell your representatives on Main Street, at the State House and in Congress to take the poison out of your water!

“There is no doubt in my mind that fluoridation has next to no benefit in terms of reduced dental decay and the risks for harm to several organ systems, including the brain, are so significant as to make fluoridation a practice that can now be considered ineffective and unsafe.” - Dr. Hardy Limeback BSc, PhD, DDS, former President of Canadian Association of Dental Research, retired head of Preventative Dentistry at the Univ of Toronto, coauthor of 2006 National Research Council report to EPA on Fluoride in Drinking Water  (2017)

Either you are being sarcastic or you love the fluoride mythology. 

See Science here: https://www.fluoridelawsuit.com/science 

And expert dental opinion against fluoride here: https://iaomt.org/resources/fluoride-facts/ 

A summary:

1. Dental damage from youthful consumption of fluoride

2. Neurological damage from prenatal, youthful and long term exposure to fluoride

3. Biological damage to endocrine, immune, renal, gastrointestinal and other systems

4. Bone damage from long term exposure and exposure during critical growth periods

5. Increased risk of complications during pregnancy affecting both mother and child

6. Disproportionate harm to various vulnerable populations due to ethnicity, age, health conditions, genetics or epigenetics.

Bet you love RFK, Jr.  The damage that man is doing is a crime.
Friends of Fluoride unite!  ✊

Btw, not reading your conspiracy theories.  Know all I need to know from the title of the post, lol!  Have fun though!
