Letter: Fluoride discussion should be renewed
Friday, June 16, 2006
Several years ago, shortly after chlorine had been removed from Topsfield's water supply, I wrote a published letter that suggested fluoride should also be eliminated. As expected there was no response either from residents or from the Water Department.
I have recently read the book "Fluoride Deception" by Christopher Bryson, and strongly suggest that anyone concerned about their family's future health also read it, or other publications on the subject.
Fluoride is a waste byproduct from the aluminum smelting, nuclear weapons and fertilizer manufacturing processes. Its supposed benefits were foisted upon us by industries that desired to make extra profit from a derivative they would otherwise have to dispose of. The protection of teeth has been greatly exaggerated.
American scientists are now calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to lower the level of fluoride downwards from its current maximum of 4 milligrams per liter. In the United Kingdom, where only 1 milligram per liter is used, that level is considered a health threat and can be linked to cancer, thyroid disease, diabetes, arthritis and dementia.
I propose that now would be an opportune time for citizens everywhere to insist that this dangerous additive be removed from our drinking water. Maybe Topsfield could perhaps be a leader in this movement. I hope so.
