- HONOLULU - The state legislature
here will be considering precedent-setting bills that could make it illegal
for fluoride to be added to public drinking water. HB 1627, SB 452 and
SB 1289 will be debated in committee and are expected to reach the floor
for a vote during the 2001 legislative session.
-
- Though voters in hundreds of cities across the U.S. have
kept the known carcinogen and immunosuppressive byproduct of phosphate
fertilizer and aluminum production out of their municipal water supplies,
Hawaii could become the first state to criminalize the placement of fluoride
in water provided to the public.
-
- The move is in direct conflict with various agencies
in the federal government that are in favor of fluoridation mandates. The
federal government supports policies that guarantee public exposure to
the non-FDA approved toxin that has never been scientifically proven to
prevent tooth decay.
-
- In recent years an exponentially growing number of activists
have been protesting the use of fluoride to mass medicate the public. Their
efforts are having an effect as cities that have been placing fluoride
into the water are discontinuing the policy through public pressure. Furthermore,
cities that propose water fluoridation to the voting public are being denied
the right to fluoridate.
-
- If Hawaii passes the bills into law, it will set a precedent
that will cause activists from all over the country to pressure their respective
state legislatures to copy the legislative example set in Hawaii.
-
- "Everything causes cancer? Perhaps. Conceivably
even a single electron at the other side of the universe. The real question
is, how likely is any one particular cause? In point of fact, fluoride
causes more human cancer, and causes it faster, than any other chemical,"
commented Dean Burk, Chief Chemist Emeritus U.S. National Cancer Institute.

- Water fluoridation opponents should follow the events
developing in Hawaii and get ready to take this case to their respective
state legislatures.
