EPA & FLUORIDE

In 1985, administrators at the Environmental Protection Agency - acting against the advice of staff scientists - doubled the maximum level of fluoride that can be allowed in drinking water. This report from ABC News' Washington DC affiliate describes the lawsuit that the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) brought against the EPA administration to reverse this ruling. Unfortunately, the NRDC lost the case, and EPA was able to double the standard. For more info, see: http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/epa/
