Letter from NYSCOF Dorval fluoride debate

Fluoridation Harmful to Health
NYS COF

Article online since November 1 2006
While I can understand why Dorval wouldn't want to be dominated by Montreal, Dorval residents would not want to drink fluoridated water if they knew all the facts.

Dorval’s water-treatment plant.

First off, the most used fluoride chemicals are silicofluorides - impure waste products of phosphater fertilizer manufacturing which have never been safety tested.

Secondly, fluoride even in low doseages added to water supplies is harmful to certain segments of the population including those allergice or intolerant to fluoride, kidney patients, higher water drinkers and others.

Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth and just slightly over what dentists claim is optimal can cause damaging effects.

Since fluoride is ubiquitous in the food supply and readily available over the counter in toothpaste, it really makes no sense to force fluoride into people whether they want it or not and whether they have teeth or not.
