Dear Supporter,

Today, the Fluoride Action Network posted the second video in its ongoing “Professional Perspectives” series. Coming in the wake of the National Kidney Foundation’s (NKF) announcement that it has rescinded its longstanding support for water fluoridation, the video is a timely one as it details the risks fluoridation poses to patients with kidney disease.

The new video — which is available at http://www.FluorideAlert.Org — features 3 scientists: Dr. Kathleen Thiessen, a member of the National Research Council’s groundbreaking review of fluoride; Dr. Phyllis Mullenix, a toxicologist who has published seminal research on fluoride toxicity; and myself.

Together with NKF’s recent reversal on fluoridation, and Dan Stockin’s excellent press release yesterday, we believe this video will help focus attention on the serious risks fluoridation thrusts on this vulnerable subset of population.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, chemicals added to drinking water should be safe for ALL members of society, with an adequate margin of safety. This is clearly not the case for fluoridated water.
