Whereas, fluoride is a known neurotoxin and carcinogen even at the levels added to the public water supplies as promoted by the American Dental Association (ADA) and the United States Public Health Service (USPHS), and;

that:
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM):
1. Supports banning the addition of fluoride or products containing fluoride to public water supplies and to any substances intended for human consumption.
2. Supports the efforts of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) and like-minded organizations in addition to any legislative efforts that effectively reduce the environmental and human exposure to fluoride.
