The Ministry of Health in Israel lifted the mandatory requirement for water fluoridation that was put in place in 1970; there is now a nationwide ban on water fluoridation in Israel
Adding fluoride to water is a medical treatment, and a forced one at that because this substance is difficult to remove from your water
Fluoride was recently added to a list of 11 known industrial chemicals that harm brain development in human fetuses and infants
Despite fluoride’s known developmental risks, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued new recommendations for the use of fluoridated toothpaste in infants and children
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set the so-called “safe” level of fluoride in drinking water at the ridiculously high level of 4 ppm (mg/L) in 1986. We are still living with this standard even though the National Research Council recommended it be lowered in 2006
The EPA is expected to complete its review of this standard in 2016, meanwhile it is clear that American children are being over-exposed to fluoride
