USA - LETTER: Fluoridation hoax is a big waste of money
LETTER: Fluoridation hoax is a big waste of money
By JIM HENLEY | La Crosse
Here’s how to turn $60,000 into “peanuts” in one easy lesson. Let’s say that $60,000 is the annual cost of fluoridating our municipal water supply. Then assume that 1 percent of the water is used for drinking by children and adults. This means $59,400 is not used for drinking and ends up in our topsoil or down the sewer.
The $600 that is left is reduced to $180 since about 30 percent of the population are children. That puts another $420 down the sewer or into the soil.
This reduction to “peanuts” is a dubious attempt to reduce dental cavities in children.
However, all is not wasted because watering our lawns and washing our clothing, dishes and automobiles will never result in tooth decay. This squandering of money goes on every day, every month and every year.
To summarize, three-tenths of 1 percent of the fluoridated water is swallowed by children and 99.7 percent of the fluoridated water is NOT used to prevent tooth decay in children.
This is not a cost-effective plan by any means and is one of the biggest hoaxes ever put over on the American public.
It is an “ideal” way of putting a protoplasmic poison down thousands of gullets without committing a crime.
