Dr. William Hirzy & EPA Union on Fluoridation

On June 29th, 2000, Dr. William Hirzy was invited to give testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, and Water on behalf of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) Chapter 280 - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Headquarters.

At the time, Dr. Hirzy was serving his sixth term as the Senior Vice-President of the Union. His presentation that day was, "Why EPA's Union of Professionals Opposes Fluoridation." This is a video that documents the presentation along with interviews with Dr. Hirzy where he describes the reasoning behind the professional and official stance of his Union members in direct opposition to the EPA's administrative support of fluoridation.

The content of this presentation is a real eye opener. It and other papers of concern from the Union can be viewed in text form at:

Does anyone know how many nations across the world have already banned or stopped fluoridation of their water?

[fluoridealert]

@maninthehood It's probably easier to say which nations still fluoridate - United States, Canada (though they may not be doing so for much longer), Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and about 10% of Great Britain. Only a few countries in Europe use fluoridated salt in small regions. And, Some countries have banned fluoridation by law such as Germany and Sweden.

Bottle water is usually tap water, which is usually fluoridated water. Plus, bottled water is in BPA leaching bottles that rarely make it into recycling, and instead fill landfills with more pollution.

[MysTeri0usMatT7]

Be aware of what's lurking in your tap water, drink bottled spring water or reverse osmosis water, be smart avoid fluoridation at ALL costs.
