The Flourish Podcast 004: The Fluoride Lawsuit Against the EPA with Co-Host Erica Acuña

Did you know that the EPA is currently being sued over the use of fluoride in our tap water? Not surprisingly, it hasn’t gotten much coverage in the mainstream media. To discuss, Dr. Engram brought in the lovely Erica Acuña, RDH, OMT as this episode’s co-host. Erica is a senior dental hygienist, and lead myofunctional therapist at Flourish Dental Boutique, and also a fellow “crunchy mom.”

In this episode, we give just a short background on fluoride and water fluoridation, and discuss the ongoing lawsuit involving the EPA.
