Water Fluoridation is NOT about Dental Health

"Water fluoridation is simply a hazardous waste management tool.  It has nothing to do with dental health."

Dr. Wiliaml Hirzy, former risk assessment scientist at the Environmental Protection Agency.

Our local MMWD Board Members are putting hydrofluorosilicic acid, (that comes from the scrubbers of the phosphate fertilizer industry), into our drinking water without dosage control, medical oversight nor individual consent.  Does this makes sense?

Instead of working with our community to end the unethical practice of water fluoridation, the MMWD are doing everything they can to keep water fluoridation going in our community.  Why??!!

The MMWD are not bound by the 1995 mandate because the money paying for water fluoridation comes from real estate owned by the MMWD.  This is not outside money and therefore, there is no mandate.  Also, because the MMWD have NOT done a study on the environmental impact of water fluoridation, they are in violation of the California Environmental Quality Act laws.

The MMWD are also in violation of the 1972 Marin water fluoridation ordinance because the hydrofluorosilicic acid that is put into our water is NOT approved by the FDA. 

How much longer are we going to let the MMWD use our bodies and our environment as a dumping ground for this hazardous waste by product?!
