Description
This week Pottstown voted to take the fluoride out of the drinking water in a case of greed. This makes it easier to sell the water to other townships, making more money. They held a meeting for the public to speak, but only published it in the legal notes. An arcane way of publicizing s a meeting. They should re hold this meeting, this time making public in a few ways, so that people can speak up, 70 percent of the country now has fluoride in the water system, only 20 percent of Pennsylvania does. Why go backward?? simple greed, lets let them know they should be ashamed of themselves, and we at least want a publicly notified meeting to be held so people including doctors and dentists can show up and fight for this.. It will not reduce the water bill, so that's not an argument either. It's simple greed.

Fluoride Hurts Your Bones and Your Health
From an increase of fracture risk, in particular hip fractures as studies show, to the current hypothyroidism epidemics, to name a few, fluoride supplementation to prevent tooth decay has been and still is a controversial topic.
And it’s not as though its addition to tap water can be directly linked to cavity reduction. It is quite obvious that there has been a clear increase in good oral health habits in the past decades. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) already acknowledged years ago that fluoride’s “predominant” effect is after teeth have erupted (permanent teeth) and topical. So there’s no reason to ingest fluoride.

The town counsel has met and agreed to take the floride out and explained that it will help keep taxes and water costs lower, everyone there agreed. That closed the issue. While two people might nit be happy about it the issue is in fact closed.. If people posted that there was an issue that we cant drive on the left side of the road would the issue be open after we had a meeting to declare that we drive on the right side and thats that?
This is the problem with america. Every that thinks that by spending a few dollars to say have floride in the water which makes it hard to sell our surplus and offset the cost of obtaining the water is no big deal doesnt understand that all those no big deal projects add up to the insaine taxes we already pay and worse debt when we cant collect enough taxes.
Pottstown/upper pottsgrove is in finacial trouble, you'd think people coild sacrifice and give up something as simple as floride and just use florinated toothpaste. Most of the water we use isnt used in consumptiin, its used to flush toilets, take showers, and wash dishes. What a waste of floride and resources.. Its not even green floride is poision to some critters. Dont be selfish and if you really want this stucf dont complain about the cost then and also and most importantly show up to the meetings and voice that opinion. If you want to know why this is being done its because everyone at the meetung basically agreed, where were you?

Get a clue people. Stop arguing about this toxic poison that has never been proven to help teeth,Two ounces of fluoride toothpaste can kill a child .Why would anyone want to use it, knowing that fact? Advanced countries did tons of research and shunned fluoride many years ago. We have enough toxic dumps, radiation and heavy metals spewing in this town..and really high cancer rates
And yes the water does taste HORRIBLE!! We sure don't drink it.
Hard pretzels and fluoride keep the dentists in business!

Its nice to see someone with as much medical knowledge as you appear to have. I only know a little medical and maybe a lot more on chemistry and history and agree wholeheartedly with your assessment.
