Two Big Victories<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
This week there were two major victories against fluoridation in the U.S.\u00a0 The first was in Newport, Oregon, where residents <\/span>voted 64% to 36%<\/span><\/span><\/a> to overwhelmingly reject the introduction of fluoride chemicals into the public drinking water.\u00a0 This vote was the first dealing with fluoridation in Oregon since Portland\u2019s landmark vote defeating fluoridation 61% to 39% in 2013.<\/span><\/div>\n

Newport was fluoridated from the 1960\u2019s until 2005, when dust from the fluoride chemicals created unsafe conditions for water treatment staff and violated OSHA guidelines, causing the city to end the practice.\u00a0 The issue <\/span>resurfaced<\/span><\/span><\/a> last summer after the Lincoln County Public Health Advisory Committee recommended adding the toxin to the drinking water.\u00a0 In response, members of <\/span>Clean Water Newport<\/span><\/span><\/a> organized local residents in opposition, packing public hearings, putting up yard signs, demanding a ballot vote, and using every grassroots strategy available to defeat the measure.\u00a0 You can learn more about this amazing victory by <\/span>clicking here<\/span><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The second victory was in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where members of the Water Utility Authority <\/span>voted 4-2 to cut funding for fluoridation<\/span><\/span><\/a> from their 2017 budget after hearing from residents who overwhelmingly opposed the practice.\u00a0 The city fluoridated their drinking water up until 2011, when they suspended the practice until the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services came out with an official recommendation of the \u201coptimal fluoride levels.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since ending the practice 5 years ago, the water utility authority has been under intense pressure from the fluoride-lobby to re-start the practice, since Albuquerque is one of the largest cities in the U.S. that is not fluoridated, along with Portland, Oregon.\u00a0 Despite lobbying from local dentists, the New Mexico <\/span>Department of Health<\/span><\/span><\/a>, and from <\/span>Delta Dental<\/span><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Albuquerque<\/span>\u00a0councilors concluded that it wasn\u2019t their role to force a medical treatment on their citizens using the water supply.
