I would like to demand that Asheville stop putting fluoride in our city water! It is poison!

It only takes a moment.

Modern science indicates that ingesting fluoride is ineffective at reducing tooth decay, harmful to health and a waste of money.

Fluoride causes Communism!
However, it prevents moral (and tooth) decay.
NOT proven to prevent tooth decay, but IS proven to cause cognitive disorders in a sizable percentage of the population.
Okay, just moral decay then.
i would be okay with them upping the arsenic and maybe throw in some more anti-depressants, too.
I don’t trust floride
I don’t trust water unless it’s been filtered through some coffee.
I don’t trust coffee unless it has been filtered through a goat.
I dont trust goats unless they drink filtered water without floride.
great post. i think asheville is an intelligent enough community to finally take a good look at this issue and quickly take all flouride out of the water supply. i work directly with patients who have schizophrenia and all kinds of dementias(alzheimers, huntingtons, parkinsons etc). i don’t think any one of us have any kind of desire to develop any of those disorders. take flouride out of the water immediately.
