If passed, House Bill 2372 states that municipalities which fluoridate their water would be required to add a clause to residents' water bills informing them of the possible dangers, including the effects on children.
The proposal states that "more research would need to be made on the exact effects of fluoride, but there is a possibility for harm to the brain and other important organs in the human body," reported The Topeka Capital-Journal.
