New Hampshire House Passes Fluoride Warning Bill

The New Hampshire House of Representatives recently passed an amendment to a Bill that would end Water Fluoridation in the State. Passing by a vote of 253 - 23 the measure recommends making it law that any residential water system who is fluoridation the water must state:
“Your public water supply is fluoridated.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if your child under the age of 6 months is exclusively consuming infant formula reconstituted with fluoridated water, there may be an increased chance of dental fluorosis.  Consult your child’s health care provider for more information.”
This notice must be placed in a conspicuous location on every water bill sent to any resident.

The next step requires the bill to be passed by the State Senate in New Hampshire. While this is not a major victory it is sure to get the attention of the public. With any luck this will act to further the Anti-Fluoride movement in New Hampshire and the U.S.
