Israel is banning fluoride in their water supply

Post by Deb »

due to health concerns

http://www.fluoridealert.org/articles/i ... oridation/

On July 29, 2013, the Supreme Court of Israel ruled that new regulations require Israel to stop adding fluoride chemicals into public water supplies in one year, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN).

Izun Hozer Association for Dissemination of Health Education and Yaacov Gurman petitioned Israel’s highest court, November 12, 2012, demanding that the Ministry of Health order the cessation of fluoridation because it presents health dangers and its benefits are no longer widely accepted.

A 1974 regulation mandated fluoridation throughout Israel. But in April 2013, the Minister of Health,Yael German, created a new regulation removing that mandate.

“It must be known to you that fluoridation can cause harm to the health of the chronically ill,” including “people who suffer from thyroid problems,” German wrote in a letter addressed to doctors opposed to ending fluoridation.

Yup, I saw this. This is great news! Several communities in the US and Canada are banning it too. Something tells me Washington, DC will be the last area to ban flouridation. The government just can't admit it was a mistake to begin with. :roll:

Deb,

Good for them!

Yep, in America no one is ever willing to accept the responsibility for anything that goes wrong, and that's primarily because we follow the example set by our government. They have an impeccable record. :lol:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
