In 2007, only the brave or the foolish would choose to begin (or continue) adding fluoride to public water supplies because: a) Fluoride’s harmfulness at extremely low levels is now scientifically substantiated (NRC 2006); b) Waters & Kraus (attorneys-at-law) intend litigating on behalf of victims of illnesses caused by fluoride toxicity.
When class actions begin, fluoridators will have nowhere to hide.
