Nashville suburb officially ends water fluoridation

Spring Hill, Tennessee(NaturalNews) A few weeks ago NaturalNews reported that officials from Spring Hill, Tenn., a fast-growing suburb of Nashville, were considering ending the city’s water fluoridation program. We are excited to report that, according to a recent report in The Tennessean, these same city leaders have officially and unanimously decided to stop fluoridating the city’s public water supply beginning on November 1, a move that will save taxpayers more than $21,000 a year.

It all began when various individuals, including Spring Hill’s water superintendent Caryl Giles, began questioning the city’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen about the need to fluoridate water. This sparked Alderman Amy Wurth, along with several others, to help lead the charge in removing fluoride from Spring Hill’s water supply, contending that because not everybody reacts the same way to its ingestion, forcing it on the entire population is wrong.

“I think we have to be responsible as parents and look at other options for fluoridation, but not put it in the water where it’s not needed,” said Alderman Keith Hudson, who supports Wurth and the others contentions that water fluoridation is outdated, expensive, and not even necessarily backed by sound science.

Reports indicate that fluoridation of Spring Hill’s water will officially end on September 30, 2011, which is several months shy of officials’ earlier estimates for its potential removal. Spring Hill’s water department will also send out a public notice within 30 days of this date to its nearly 30,000 residents, notifying them of the change.

This historic move by a large metropolitan suburb to end water fluoridation is a significant one that could snowball into many other communities following its lead, particularly those in states like Tennessee that do not have statewide mandated fluoridation laws.

  4. [Good news. You just saved alot of homies by switching to water without rat poison.]

  5. Congrats! The next generation in this town will probably increase their IQ by about 30-40 points, have less arthritis and back pain, whiter teeth, fewer cavities, zero dental fluorosis, and uncalcified pineal glands.

  6. People need to point this out at their town meeting that other towns are getting rid of it and saving MONEY on top of that. They are always looking for spending cuts, tell them stop buying poison and putting it in the water jack hole!
