Jodi Moen Webboard User Reg: 12-28-2010 Posts: 799 Loc: USA Offline	I saw a blurb today that stated a statistic that 140,000 dogs die from drinking fluorinated water every year. Anyone know if there any truth to this? I give Am i tap water now, I used to give spring water from a source in my town but no longer do. My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.

The EPA's recommended ceiling level isn't enforceable, but you can find out if it's followed in your community by calling the water company and getting the fluoride number (usually expressed as milligrams per liter).

We do have a higher than avg. cancer rate here that has several theories for "cause". I'll see if I can refind the blurb. My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.

Jodi Moen Webboard User Reg: 12-28-2010 Posts: 799 Loc: USA Offline	I looked up my towns water results could find nothing no fluoride levels... although when I was looking for the blurb I did find a lot of conspiracy theories regarding fluoride in tap water... so I'm not going to worry about it. My animals are not "like" family, they ARE family.
