With a subject as controversial as this has been for the last fifty years and government agencies assuring us that adverse effects are not possible, I am shocked to learn that they offer nothing but theory and endorsements to back up their claims. Whatever the answer, I encourage you to establish a hearing date as soon as possible to ferret out the truth. Committee on Science has revealed that the claims of safety for fluoridation were based on substituted chemicals of higher quality than the actual substances used.
Water is much too precious to the health of our nation to allow anyone to add untested chemicals.
I ask that you support the efforts of the Committee on Science to hold an immediate hearing on the safety and effectiveness of the substances that are being added to our public water supplies for the purpose of fluoridation. Recent studies that show higher concentrations of aluminum delivered to the brain of laboratory animals when in combination with low levels of fluoride equal to the amounts found in fluoridated water, and a doubling of the incidence of danger levels of lead found in children's blood when the untested phosphate fertilizer source of fluoridation products is present, must not be ignored. Please offer your support to assure that protection for the most susceptible individuals, as identified in the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996, is fulfilled. Organizations of every size and style. The need for safe drinking water cuts across all manner and persuasion.
