Feds Say It's Time To Cut Back On Fluoride In Drinking Water

[DEAD7]

Federal health officials Monday changed the recommended amount of fluoride in drinking water for the first time since 1962, cutting by almost half the maximum amount of fluoride that should be added to drinking supplies. The Department of Health and Human Services recommended 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water instead of the long-standing range of 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams. The change is recommended because now Americans have access to more sources of fluoride, such as toothpaste and mouth rinses, than they did when fluoridation was first introduced in the United States,' Dr. Boris Lushniak, the deputy surgeon general, told reporters during a conference call.

Not this bullshyt again.

They lowered the recommendations not because fluoride is unsafe but because more people are getting it from toothpastes/mouthwashes than when the original recommendations went out (in the 1960s). The article (which @DEAD7 didn't post as usual) even says...

"While additional sources of fluoride are more widely used than they were in 1962, the need for community water fluoridation still continues," said U.S. Deputy Surgeon General Rear Admiral Boris D. Lushniak. "Community water fluoridation continues to reduce tooth decay in children and adults beyond that provided by using only toothpaste and other fluoride-containing products."

But don't allow me to interrupt the conspiracy theorizing...PCTs gon' PCT I guess...
