Fluoride will poison water

PLEASE dont poison our drinking water.
It is alarming that none of the following verifiable facts were included in our fluoride information booklet. Calcium fluoride is naturally occurring in some water supplies, but sodium fluoride, sodium fluorosilicate and fluorosilicic acid, which are intended for our drinking water, are not natural they are toxic by-products, industrial waste, and just half of a teaspoon will kill a child. Fluoride is used to suppress thyroid function, some people who already have impaired thyroid function will have to go on thyroid medication for the rest of their lives.
The one part per million dosage that is intended to be added to our water is 200 times more than an infant receives from mothers breast milk.
The fluoride table manufactures do not recommend that any fluoride is given to infants under six months of age as this is the time when the infants teeth and bones are forming. Mothers who bottle-feed their baby will have to buy bottled water to mix formula with or risk overdosing their baby with fluoridated tap water. Babies teeth and bones are forming way before they are even born. Does an expectant mothers body have the ability to filter out the excess fluoride she ingests so that the fetus only gets as much as it needs or will fluoride over-dosing of the fetus occur before they are born?
Most of the world in fact now reject fluoride and do not intend to put any fluoride in their water supplies. Prior to Prime Minister Howards appointment to office in 1997, the Federal Government had the $100 million Commonwealth Dental Health Program after being appointed Mr Howard abolished it and made each state responsible for its own dental care. Since then the waiting lists have grown even longer than they were before. And now, industrial fluoride is supposed to make up the shortfall.
