A Nebraska law states that by July 1, 2010 every town in the state with 1,000 or more residents must have fluoride added to their water unless the town citizens vote against it. Several towns have already taken the initiative and voted against water fluoridation.
Residents of Wisner, Wakefield and Yutan are among those that voted no to fluoride. These three towns actually took two separate polls, because residents complained that the language on the first ballot was confusing.
Why would people vote against having fluoride added to their drinking water? Fluoride is a harmful toxin that was originally used as an insecticide and rat poison. It has been linked to many health issues, including damage of the brain, thyroid gland, bones and kidneys. Too much fluoride consumption is even associated with bone cancer cases.
It's exciting to hear that educated citizens are saying no to harmful water fluoridation. Hopefully more Americans will learn the truth about fluoride and make the initiative to keep it out of their water supplies. Unfortunately, even educated Americans may have trouble influencing their city to remove fluoride from water.
If unfluoridated water isn't an option in your community, there is still a solution to make sure your family doesn’t consume this toxin. Berkey fluoride filters are key in these situations. Most water purifiers don't remove fluoride, so don't assume your standard drug-store filter will do the trick. Instead, the powerful fluoride filters by Berkey will guarantee fluoride free drinking water. With a lifespan of 1,000 gallons, this filter specifically removes fluoride, arsenic, and other residual heavy metal ions, making your water clean and safe to drink.
These fluoride filters connect to any of the Berkey purification systems, which already reduce all heavy metals by 95% and pathogens by 100%. All filters made by Berkey eliminate only harmful substances while leaving in the healthy and necessary minerals found in water. With the addition of the fluoride filters, Berkey literally creates the purest water possible.
Fluoride in drinking water is unnecessary and dangerous. Like these Nebraskan towns, it should be removed from all American drinking supplies. Until that day comes, a Berkey fluoride filter is necessary to protect your family from fluoride consumption.
