Dear Editor:

There are more people in our country being rightly concerned about fluoride in our drinking water supplies. Florida was the first state to ban fluoride in their water due to the warnings of lead, arsenic, etc. Utah followed suit.

For decades it has been a concern that we are ingesting far too much fluoride, since it is in our bottled drinks, toothpaste, etc. Researchers claim that it is cancer causing. Some cities and towns don't allow it.

Years ago, I spoke with the manager of our water company and he said it was very expensive to supply and operate.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of U.S. Health & Human Services and Make America Healthy Again, had wanted to make a federal law to ban fluoride.

Lincoln County has one of the largest cases of people with cancer. Do you really want your children and yourselves ingesting toxins?

Please contact our state legislators.
