Dear Mr. DeMaio,

I want to thank you for recently requesting before City Council that the City Attorney’s office review the legal issues and use of taxpayer dollars for the forthcoming fluoride (fluocilicic) injections of the City of San Diegos’ drinking water.  As a representative of San Diegans for Safe Drinking Water, I appreciate your willingness to listen and learn what we had to share on this very serious issue of fluosilicic injections of San Diego’s drinking water.

Each decade has produced new discoveries about the dangers of fluoride, especially to young children, senior citizens, people with thyroid disease, renal patients and others.  The National Department of Health and Human Services just recently stated that fluoridated water should not be used to mix baby’s formula. Many dentists now understand that to be beneficial, fluoride must be applied topically and should not be ingested.  The Department of Health and Human Services has recently stated that fluoridated water should not be used to mix infant formula.

I’m proud to support you in your responsible effort to understand all the facts and legalities regarding the proposed fluoridation of our water.

Sincerely, San Diegans for Safe Drinking Water
