Subject: Re: Petition docket number 00P-1602/CP 1, dated 11/6/00 

Please support Assemblyman Kelly's call for FDA's full removal of 
fluoride supplements

Michael Perrone of Assemblyman John Kelly's office reminds us all 
that when we are of successful at keeping fluoride out of our 
communities, it means that children are still being prescribed 
fluoride supplements; and just as water fluoridation is a violation 
of the right of informed consent so is fluoride supplementation where 
parents are under the false impression that the prescription is 
approved by the FDA as safe and effective.


Please endorse the petition to remove all unapproved 
fluoride supplements intended for ingestion for the purpose of 
reducing the incidence of tooth decay, on the grounds that the 
preponderance of scientific evidence shows that additional ingested 
fluoride exposure does not reduce tooth decay, but does cause 
permanent scarring of the tooth enamel. Kelly's petition to the FDA
