Clean Water California Is Bay Area Water Safe for Bottle-Fed Babies? SAN FRANCISCO – The Centers for Disease Control and the American Dental Association agree that babies fed formula made with tap water are at risk of ingesting too much fluoride. Yet most Bay Area water districts fail to warn parents of the risk. On Saturday, March 22, concerned citizens will march to urge water suppliers and health officials to issue public warnings about the risks of feeding babies powdered formula mixed with fluoridated tap water. The march begins at 11 a.m. at Union Square and concludes with a 1 p.m. rally at Justin Herman Plaza. Event RSVP: facebook/events/591874114234734/ Michael Connett of the Fluoride Action Network, who will speak at the rally, said that in recent years research has turned on its head the outdated notion that adding fluoride chemicals is a safe way to promote dental health. This month, in a peer-reviewed study in the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet Neurology, authors Dr. Philippe Grandjean and Dr. Philip Landrigan revealed that fluoride can lower children IQ’s. We should listen to the evidence and act to protect our childrens brains, not the water fluoridation industry, said Connett. Other speakers at the rally will include public health expert and dentist Dr. Bill Osmunson; Arlene Goetze, who led a successful campaign to convince the City of Sunnyvale to issue fluoride warnings for infants; Jacques Durand of the Sierra Clubs Loma Prieta chapter; LULAC Executive Director, Henry Rodriguez, who authored the 2011 LULAC resolution against fluoridation; Founding President of the Society for Orthomolecular Health Medicine, Dr. Richard Kunin; and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jeff Blokker.
