"The form of fluoride (silicofluorides) they plan to put in our water is classified as a toxic waste. As a toxic waste, it is costly to dispose. But as a sellable product, that expense is eliminated.” – Jim Bell
A commentary by Jim Bell
December 26, 2010 (San Diego)--I’m 100 percent against the City of San Diego’s plan to fluoridate our common water supply.
Why? Because I don’t want to be medicated against my will no matter how good someone else claims it will be for me, or anyone else. As a free adult, it is my right to make such medical decisions for myself and my family, not some stranger who knows nothing about my health or my family’s health.
I’m convinced that adding fluoride to our common water supply will be harmful, especially to fetuses and young children.
Even if fluoride proves to have some dental benefit, which I now doubt, there are much more effective ways to get some form of fluoride into one’s teeth than drinking it, consuming it in our foods, using water to rinse off vegetables, and bathing in it.
What I now understand is that the form of fluoride (silicofluorides) they plan to put in our water is classified as a toxic waste. As a toxic waste, it is costly to dispose. But as a sellable product that expense is eliminated.
To quote Anita Shattuck, the author of The Fluoride Debate, Published by the Health Way House, February 2001, “Fluoridation is not about ‘children’s teeth’. Rather it is about industry ridding itself of crude hazardous waste products, silicofluorides, The book also reported was that silicofluorides are 85 times more toxic than naturally-occurring calcium fluoride.
San Diego is planning to begin fluoridating our water within the next month. If you agree that this toxin does not belong in our City’s water supply, please contact Mayor Jerry Sanders at:
