Several US Towns Suspend Using Fluoride In Water Supply After Federal Judge Ruling

Two towns in New York State have suspended water fluoridation after a federal judge ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency must address the impacts of fluoride use on children’s cognitive development.

The towns of Somers and Yorktown have announced they will both stop using fluoride in their municipal water supply.

Yorktown supervisor Ed Lachterman stated, “In light of this federal ruling and the long-standing concerns expressed by many Yorktown residents, I have decided to suspend water fluoridation as a precautionary measure.”

The city of Abilene in Texas has also suspended the fluoridation of public water.

The city of Abilene wrote in a press release, “This temporary suspension is being implemented out of an abundance of caution to safeguard public health.”

Studies have shown that “millions of pregnant women are currently being exposed to levels of fluoride that have the potential to lower their children’s IQ by at least four to six points.”

Here’s what Info Wars reported:

Two towns in New York state will suspend water fluoridation, after a federal judge ruled this week that the EPA must address risks to children’s cognitive development associated with fluoridation.

Yorktown and Somers have both announced that they will stop adding fluoride to their municipal water supply.

“In light of this federal ruling and the long-standing concerns expressed by many Yorktown residents, I have decided to suspend water fluoridation as a precautionary measure,” Yorktown supervisor Ed Lachterman said in a statement, released on Thursday.

“Our priority is the safety and well-being of our community, and we believe it is prudent to pause fluoridation to further assess its potential impacts.”

Somers Supervisor Robert Scorrano said that the town’s decision to stop fluoridating the municipal water supply would “give residents the freedom to choose their own sources of fluoride, ensuring personal control over their health decisions. Additionally, concerns about potential long-term health risks from fluoride exposure support reevaluating its use in public water systems.”

Per Reporter News:

The city of Abilene has temporarily suspended the fluoridation of the public water supply, according to a city media release Monday.

Not putting fluoride in the water is a precautionary step stemming from a recent California federal court ruling that might result in changes to the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommendations for fluoride levels in drinking water.

“This temporary suspension is being implemented out of an abundance of caution to safeguard public health,” the media release stated.

Mayor Weldon Hurt and City Manager Robert Hanna discussed the changes over the weekend and agreed a temporary suspension would do no harm while giving the City Council a chance to provide further direction in light of recent court rulings on fluoride.

The Abilene City Council will discuss water fluoridation in the public water supply at 8:30 a.m. Thursday during a regular meeting in council chambers on the second floor of Abilene City Hall, 555 Walnut Street.

The decision was made based on a recent federal court ruling in California that may result in changes to the [EPA's] recommendations regarding fluoride…"https://t.co/iPrb0HDYCl
