Fairfax County on Water Fluoridation

I was doing a little bit of research on fluoride tonight (You know, the fluoride-bone cancer connection) and came across these interesting statements from Fairfax County, VA:

First, from the County Code authorizing water fluoridation:

Section 42-1-5. Liability for injury or damage.
The Board of Supervisors in authorizing fluoridation, however, expressly declares that it in no way assumes any liability for, or on account of, any damage or injury incurred by any user of water so treated. (1954 Code, vol. 1, § 8-5; 1961 Code, § 13-5.)

Gotta love that. It's safe, but ah...should you die or grow a second set of fingers, we're not responsible for anything. Read the fine print.

Second, a question/answer from the Fairfax County Water Authority website:

#8. Is the fluoride in my drinking water safe?

In correct amounts, added and naturally occurring fluoride has improved the dental health of American consumers. Fairfax Water's water generally has between 0.8 and 1.2 mg/L of Fluoride.

Huh? Did I miss the answer in there? Is it safe? Who knows. All we know from this savy reply is that the fluoride, in correct amounts, improves dental health for American consumers. Is it safe ? Well, that's a different question....and apparently a different (missing) answer.
