Whether or not you want it.

Whether or not you can afford to pay for it.

So NJ is adding a known carcinogen to their water. In 1990 fluoride was found to be an equivocal carcinogen by the National Cancer Institute Toxicology Program. Lovely.

[driftdiver]

Well ya know its not like any other products have flouride in them.

[dead]

I actually thought this was all enacted 40 years ago.

Whether or not you need it..............

Pharmaceutical Company executives started crying when they heard the great news.

Crossing fingers and sending cash in hopes of the Bill passing in the full Senate.

Pity. New Jersey was one of the few states where this wasn’t standard procedure. Looks like it’s time for a Brita filter.

I’m assuming no one’s going to make me put flouride in my well?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) states, “Community water fluoridation is safe and effective in preventing tooth decay, and has been identified by the CDC as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.” Additionally, the past five Surgeons General have supported community water fluoridation and encouraged communities to fluoridate their water.

The City of Grand Rapids, MI was first to do water fluoridation, starting in January 1945.

Somebody should set Jim Gearhart STRAIGHT on this subject.

You pay money for WATER W-A-T-E-R H20 NOT a government designed SUPERSOUP!

EVERYTHING in government proceeds by DEGREES. Today its Flouride - TOMORROW - WHO KNOWS!

If somebody wants Fluoride in their water, give them a packet of Fluoride Salt and tell them to have fun.

Do you REALLY want to drink a liquid DESIGNED by the GOVERNMENT??!!!!! This just ANOTHER case of the tail wagging the dog and the inner city constituency dictating government policy because they don't take care of their own kids.

Like LEADED PAINT. I grew up in houses with LOTS of Leaded Paint. NEVER had a problem. WHY? I never gnawed the woodwork. But SOME constituencies are too busy with “OTHER” activities than to supervise their kids, SOOOO they want the STATE to do it FOR them. NOW, NOBODY can use lead based paint.

The very same constituencies use the VERY SAME LOGIC to try and ban guns.

NOBODY in MY neighborhood shoots off guns in the streets over drug deals. But then I don't live in Camden or any OTHER one of those Democrat ward dominated cesspools.

They added it to my water a few years ago. I had a leak in my koi pond & added hose water. Killed 25 of my koi fish. Now I have to use an additive when using my hose water to fill the pond. I was going to get a rain barrel but I am trying to sell & it is winter. I liked my water just fine & liked it even better when I could use my well. However Brick decided to outlaw well water for the house. We can use it for the grass. I always forget as it is just hooked up to my sprinkler system now.
