Karen Favazza Spencer is a member of Food & Water Watch identified as fluoride-affected in its TSCA lawsuit against the EPA. The “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” issued by Judge Edward Chen in Sept. 2024 found for the plaintiffs. The federal judge ordered the EPA to take action to eliminate the “unreasonable risk” posed by fluoridated water to millions of vulnerable and susceptible Americans at a 0,7 ppm concentration considered “optimal” by the CDC. Although there are a variety of actions that EPA can take, fluoridation policy is governed at the state and municipal level. Remind those in charge of Water Departments that they can suspend fluoridation based on their professional opinion that it poses a hazard to consumers. Tell state politicians to sponsor and support a bill banning the addition of fluoridation chemicals to water supplies, and a bill requiring warning language be added to the annual Consumer Confidence Report of potential harm to health whenever fluoride in water is at or above 0.3 ppm. See FluorideLawsuit.com
URGENT Action Steps:
BAN BILL:
Update to Chapter 111, Section 8C
TITLE: Ban on Artificial Fluoridation Schemes
CONTENT: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts forbids augmenting fluoride concentrations in municipal water by the addition fluoridation water additives.
WARNING BILL:
TITLE: Fluoride in Water Warning
CONTENT: The annual Consumer Confidence Report on water quality shall include the following language whenever the fluoride in drinking water is at or above 0.3 ppm:
The offspring of pregnant persons and bottle-fed babies are at risk of developmental neurotoxicity and damaged teeth from fluoride levels at or above 0.3 ppm.
Diabetics and those with kidney, thyroid or inflammatory conditions are at risk of worsening their conditions from consumption of waters at or above 0.3 ppm.
Then go to your local authorities because the odd MA law does not allow fluoridation to end once begun. Therefore, you need to:
- Remind the director of your Water Dept that they have the authority to suspend fluoridation if in their professional opinion it poses a risk to consumers, workers or infrastructure.
- Advise your local legislature (City Council or Town Meeting/Board of Selectmen) that they should petition the commonwealth for a Home Rule Exemption to the existing Chapter 111, Section 8C fluoridation law in order to establish a local ordinance banning fluoridation programs.
