DESCRIPTION:
The Southern California Metropolitan Water District plan to fluoridate the water of 18 million people in Southern California Please pass this news advisory on to any one you know in California. NEWS ADVISORY for Monday, Aug. 20 CONTACT: Bill Walker, EWG: (510) 444-0973 x301 or 759-9911 Jeff Green, Citizens for Safe Drinking Water, (619) 843-9880 STUDY: MET\\'S FLUORIDATION WILL PUT 83,000 S. CAL KIDS AT RISK News Conference Monday to Discuss New Science on Fluoride\\'s Harm BACKGROUND: In October, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California will start adding fluoride to the tap water of 18 million Southern Californians in LA, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. But since Met voted to fluoridate in 2005, new evidence on fluoride\\'s health risks has dramatically altered the debate on this issue. The American Dental Association now advises parents of formula-fed infants to mix it with non-fluoridated water. A National Research Council report found that fluoride can disrupt hormones and damage the nervous system, and a Harvard study found a link between fluoridation and a rare bone cancer in teenage boys. At noon Monday, Met\\'s directors will get a briefing on new developments in fluoride science, but they\\'re allowing only a 5-minute presentation by Dr. Kathy Thiessen, a member of the National Research Council panel, who is coming from Tennessee to share her expertise. Before the briefing, Thiessen will speak at a news conference to discuss the panel\\'s findings. At the news conference, Environmental Working Group will release a study calculating that under Met\\'s plan, 83,000 children will be pushed over the EPA\\'s safe daily dose of fluoride. NEWS CONFERENCE: 10:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 20 New Otani Hotel?Monticello Room 120 S. Los Angeles St. in downtown LA Speakers: Dr. Kathy Thiessen, National Research Council David C. Kennedy, DDS, past president, International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology Bill Walker, Environmental Working Group Jeff Green, Citizens for Safe Drinking Water MWD BOARD MEETING: Noon, Monday, Aug. 20 MWD Headquarters 700 N.
