Yeah Portland Oregon!

  • On May 21, Portland, Oregon—the largest non-fluoridated city in the US—voted to keep fluoride out of its pristine water supply
  • Fluoridation proponents spent nearly $1 million—four times the amount raised by the anti-fluoridation campaign—to flood Portland with misleading ads and editorials promoting fluoridation
  • Fluoride is a toxic substance that accumulates in your tissues over time, wreaks havoc with enzymes, and produces a number of serious adverse health effects, including neurological and endocrine dysfunction
  • 25 human studies have linked fluoride with lowered IQ in children, including recent research from Harvard, and 100 animal studies have linked it to brain damage
  • Water fluoridation came about as the result of a massively successful PR campaign; originally suggested as a way to protect aluminum and steel producers from lawsuits over fluorine pollution coming from their plants
