NOBODY knows what the effects of EXTENDED use of flouridated water

Yeah you're right, everyone in Grand Rapids will die.

I haven't the slightest idea how much fluoride is added to the water there. FURTHER, as an aquaculturalist, I KNOW that WATER isn't the same as WATER. Water from different areas naturally differs in pH, hardness, and numerous other parameters. And we don't know about long-term effects.

BUT AGAIN, the issue is not the merits or demerits of fluoride in drinking water. Its the principle of a bunch of political hacks in Trenton, who know less about water or chemicals than you or I, MANDATING actions on Fluoridation.

As I implied in an earlier post, this is tied to the inner cities ONCE AGAIN trying to dictate government policy for the entire state. This subject was discussed on the Jim Gearhart show. The entire legislative issue was resurrected when the water company providing water to Trenton stopped adding Fluoride to the Trenton Water supply without notifying the locals, some of whom became incensed and contacted their local Democrat War Bosses to get this legislation enacted on the state level.
