Vallone: Fluoride – If In Doubt, Keep It Out
By Peter Vallone Jr.
Did you know that the government is putting toxic chemicals in our water which come from the scrubbing systems of the fertilizer industry and are classified as “hazardous wastes” (sodium fluorosilicate and fluorosilicic acid). Are you concerned? You should be. Unfortunately, when these chemicals are called “fluoride,” safety concerns go down the drain.
There is a growing body of evidence that fluoride does more harm than good. One need only do a modicum of research to find the many anti-fluoride websites and studies. One of the most useful is “50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation,” by Dr. Paul Connett (www.slwebb.org), where the sources for much of the medical information I used can be found. Most recently, a study published by the National Institute of Environmental Health (Dec. 17) linked fluoride in water, at lower levels than what the EPA considers “safe,” to lower IQ in children. While four out of five dentists may be enough to pick a gum, ALL should agree before we force-medicate the public (a practice which many, including myself, would oppose under almost any circumstance).....
