Petition request

That the House of Representatives stop water fluoridation.

Petition reason

Many qualified scientists say that exposure to the levels of fluoride in fluoridated communities causes a level of harm comparable to lead. The US National Toxicology Program's 6-year review confirms that fluoride may lower children's IQ. The Cochrane Review 2015, CATFISH study (2022, UK), and LOTUS study (2023, UK) show little or no benefit to teeth from fluoridated water.
