Fluoride - Victory in Kansas! Dear All, I have been away for the weekend and came back a short while ago to find some wonderful news from Kansas. Through the stubborn efforts of many key friends in Kansas, Senate Bill SB 530, intended to legislate mandatory fluoridation in Kansas, will not make it out of committee. Congratulations Melody, Albert, Bob, Joe, Jean, Deanna, Wayne, June and Phil and everyone else who made this possible! When Melody et al. have had a chance to drain the champagne and unwind, I am sure they will want to share with us some of the material which proved so successful in this whirlwind campaign. At the request of the Senators on the committee they drew up 1) lists of the many communities which have rejected (or stopped) fluoridation over the last few years; 2) numerous stories (with references) of cities and states in the US which have been fluoridated for years but are still experiencing high levels of tooth decay; 3) information on Xylitol mints, gum and toothpaste and 4) documentation that the chemicals used to fluoridate most communities in the US a) are obtained from the scrubbers of the phosphate fertilizer industry, b) contain many contaminants and c) have never been toxicologically tested by US agencies. Much of this information is already on the FAN site, www.fluoridealert.org, but it is nice to have it readily available in an email form. A very special thank you to the many people on our mailing list who wrote to the Senators on this bill. This kind of support makes a huge difference to those in the thick of things. They go into their meetings knowing that they are not alone, even when they look as if they are outnumbered. Thanks for all you do. Paul Connett. Further Resources: Click here to purchase or
