    Excited to be part of @MarchofDimes #prematuritycollab convening. Unfortunately premature births are increasing (currently 1/10 babies in US) especially for communities of color.pic.twitter.com/jNwznq85Pm

        Preterm births & maternal complications are both associated w/ #fluoridation. India sets 0.5 ppm as the level where population effects are obvious. US sets 0.7 ppm as 'optimal' & ignores F- contaminants. Do your science HW 'placental fluorosis' http://www.townsendletter.com/May2015/placental0515.html …pic.twitter.com/fH9PsTk8PX

        . @LULAC @CAAP @CHEJ @AmbAndrewYoung among many opposing #fluoridation as disproportionately harmful. Dental fluorosis afflicts over half American teens. Learning disabilities & kidney disease also associated with #fluoride enzyme poison. http://fluoridealert.org/wp-content/uploads/gibbs-2015.pdf …pic.twitter.com/G7xXbyrens

        Shouldn’t you be focused on saving all preemies regardless of skin tone? When mine were in the nicu, they used to say “wimpy white boy” telling us that the stats were better for babies of color.

        This is great, because the emphasis should NOT be on the technology for Premature babies to survive ( ALTHOUGH IMPERATIVE ) but on PREVENTING PREMATURE BIRTHS, that babies achieve the maximum development in the womb, for the healthiest start.

        Fluoride (hydrofluorosilicic acid/fertilizer waste) added to drinking water causes pregnancy problems and harms blacks at higher rates than whites. 2017 US funded study found F lowers IQ in children of mother's exposed to F during pregnancy.
