FDA cracks down on fluoride levels but still allows the neurotoxin to be DELIBERATELY added to bottled water

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now cracking down on fluoride levels and has set a new legal limit for the neurotoxin in bottled water. The previous standard allowed manufacturers to add .8 to 1.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter. The FDA’s new regulation will cap fluoride levels at .7 milligrams per liter. While the new regulation is a step in the right direction for protecting human health, it does not erase the fact that the FDA endorses the deliberate poisoning of bottled water in the first place.

This regulation does not apply to naturally-occurring fluoride in water sources. The FDA’s new regulation addresses imported and domestically packaged water that is intentionally spiked with fluoride. If fluoride consumption adversely affects childhood growth and intelligence, as documented by Harvard, then why does the FDA approve the addition of fluoride to the water that children and pregnant women drink? Instead of endorsing such an unhealthy practice, the FDA should try and stop companies from selling water with added fluoride and pull all these products from store shelves...

Many scientists and environmental organizations agree that the FDA’s new legal limit for added fluoride is still too high for safe consumption.
