The United States stands almost entirely\u00a0alone<\/a>\u00a0among developed nations in adding industrial silicofluorides to its drinking water\u2014imposing the community-wide measure without informed consent. Globally, roughly 5% of the population consumes chemically fluoridated water, but more people\u00a0in the U.S.<\/a>\u00a0drink fluoride-adulterated water than in all other countries combined. Within the U.S., just under a third (30%) of local water supplies\u00a0are not fluoridated<\/a>; these municipalities have either held the practice\u00a0at bay<\/a>\u00a0since fluoridation\u2019s inception or have won hard-fought battles to halt water fluoridation.<\/p>\n

Dozens of studies and reviews\u2014including in top-tier journals such as\u00a0The Lancet<\/em>\u2014have shown that fluoride is neurotoxic and lowers children\u2019s IQ.<\/p>\n

The fluoride chemicals added to drinking water are\u00a0unprocessed toxic waste<\/a>products\u2014captured pollutants from Florida\u2019s phosphate fertilizer industry or unregulated chemical imports from China. The chemicals undergo no purification before being dumped into drinking water and often harbor significant levels of arsenic and other heavy metal contamination; one researcher describes this unavoidable contamination as a \u201cregulatory blind spot<\/a>that jeopardizes any safe use of fluoride additives.\u201d
