SIGN THE PETITION TO GREENSBORO CITY COUNCIL

Petition to Greensboro City Council to End Fluoridation
We now know fluoride should not be swallowed. Fluoride prevents tooth decay by its action on tooth surfaces, for both children and adults. The label on fluoride toothpaste warns that it should not be swallowed. A glass of water contains as much fluoride as a dab of toothpaste.
"Drinking water fluoridation is harmful . . . with new found knowledge we must all act now to stop it."
-- Erin Brockovich, safe water investigator and advocate
Putting medicine in Greensboro’s water deprives me of my right to choose and regulate medical treatments for myself and my family. If I want fluoride for my teeth I can get it in toothpaste or mouthwash or from my dentist.
I do not want fluoride treatment in the water I drink and cook with. I do not want my children dosed with fluoride at the school water fountain. I do not want fluoride treatment in my shower or the pool my family swims in. I do not want to be dosed with fluoride in the coffee, soup, and smoothies I purchase in Greensboro eateries.
I support ending fluoridation in Greensboro.
