Everett City Council <br /> October 5, 2011 <br /> Page Seven <br /> That in return for this small reduction - if any - that 41% of teenagers have <br /> fluorosis, that 8.6% have moderate fluorosis and 3.6% have severe fluorosis. <br /> http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db53.pdf <br /> Rely on the CDC admission that "... fluoride prevents dental caries <br /> predominately after eruption of the tooth into the mouth, and its actions <br /> primarily are topical for both adults and children." <br /> http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4841al.htm <br /> Rely on their statement that baby formula should not be mixed using <br /> fluoridated water. <br /> http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hhs-all-infant-formulas- <br /> contain-fluoride-avoid-mixing-with-fluoridated-water-117760088.html; <br /> http://jada.ada.org/content/ 140/10/1228.full.pdf+html. <br /> Rely on what the CDC says about fluoridation - except for their conclusion that <br /> you should drink it. <br /> *** <br /> The fact is that the City Council is the legislative body for the city of Everett <br /> and the Everett Water District and that the buck stops with the City Council. <br /> The City Council is the only authority that can take fluoride out of our water. <br /> Currently the City Council is taking a head-in-the-sand approach, failing to put <br /> this issue on the agenda, failing to hold hearings on this issue, failing to <br /> consult with real scientists. These irresponsible behaviors call into question the <br /> credibility of the Everett City Council. <br /> Sincerely <br /> J. ` 'T`"•ert D- : , A orney <br /> WSBA Number 8103 <br />
