Letter to the Editor: Fluoride debate

To the editor: For those concerned about the current practice of The Dalles City adding chemical fluoride to the water supply, a discussion is planned on the topic to be held at City Hall for the regular meeting date of Monday, July 8, at 5:30 p.m.

Look for the agenda to be posted on The City of The Dalles webpage on or after June 26.

The meeting is open to the public. The discussion will be about a request I have made to discontinue the practice and remove added fluoride from the water supply system. It is my belief that fluoride, especially industrial and not pharmaceutical grade fluoride, is a dangerous toxic chemical which is unnecessarily added without my consent to my drinking water.

I will post more later, after the agenda is published by The Dalles City Council later this month.
