Most families consider tap water to
be a safe source of drinking
water for their pets, and even their
family members. However, there
is a dangerous chemical lurking in
the tap water of most homes
in America. Fluoride is a chemical
derived from fluorine, which
is found naturally in the earth,
water, and minerals. It may be
harmless in its natural state;
however, synthesized fluoride, which
is added to tap water, has been
shown to have devastating effects to
both animals and humans when
consumed.
Protecting Your Community
For those individuals who are
concerned about
fluoride in your tap water, there
are steps that can
be taken to protect your
communities. First, research
the annual water quality report
provided by your local
city water department. If fluoride
is present in the
tap water in your community, speak
out against it
by contacting your state and local
officials as well
as your senators. Another way to
raise awareness is
by educating the public about the
harmful effects of
fluoride on humans and animals.
Many communities
have become aware of the evidence
that suggests
that fluoride in tap water is
harmful and they have
moved toward fluoride free tap water.
By raising
awareness, your community can do the
same.
