Over 7,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees have called on
Congress to pass a moratorium on the use of fluoride in drinking water, citing
a series of new studies directly connecting the chemical to
cancer.
The group, made up
predominantly of EPA scientists, has sent letters to key Congressional
committees and the EPA Secretary, calling for the EPA to classify
fluoride as a human carcinogen.
At this point, it appears
the National Academy of Sciences is being instructed to review relevant
studies and report to Congress and the EPA on the topic in early 2006 !!!!!!
The OCA will be calling on its supporters to take action when that report is
released.
