Texas Court Upholds Fluoridation

 

 

One of the appeals courts was so emphatic on this issue as to say the government

can put poison in the water under the police powers and this court could not do

anything. It is solely up to the legislature.

Texas dentist John Brown posted the following to the the dental public health

list:

Here is the link to the Espronceda vs City of San Antonio appeal to

the Texas District Court's refusal of the initial suit opposing

fluoridation .The appeal was denied with prejudice on 5/21/03

It reads very well, reaffirms the police powers in Public Health,

says the burden is very much on the claimants, quotes much legal precedent,

says no one is compelled to drink the water and may choose other water

sources,

and concludes that the the overwhelming evidence supports fluoridation.

 

It make good reading , especially for students of public health.
