Canada - Residents rejecting fluoride in our water
Residents rejecting fluoride in our water
A group of concerned citizens say it’s time for Halton to join a growing list of Get the fluoride out of our water, said a panel of area residents advocating for the end of water fluoridation in Halton Tuesday.
The meeting at Oakville Town Hall was organized by Oakvillegreen as a means to give concerned townspeople an opportunity to become informed through questions and discussions with the guest speakers.
Fluoridating tap water was first seen as a way to prevent cavities in the 1940s, It was later confirmed through medical research that fluoride works best when applied topically to teeth with fluoride toothpaste.
The panel argued that drinking it could expose the body to the toxin without providing beneficial effects.
Sheldon Thomas, who was on the panel, is a retired manager of Hamilton’s water distribution. Thomas spent more than 25 years operating and managing Hamilton’s water infrastructure.
“I’m not new to water. I’m not new to distribution and I’m reasonably intelligent. I started asking questions about who is going to come around and actually study my son’s body because he doesn’t need any more (toxins) in his water.”
Thomas now operates a training and consulting company in Burlington for water distribution systems, called Clear Water Legacy.
He said he finally did get an answer regarding the use of hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFSA) to fluoridate public drinking water — it was a “chemistry lesson 101,” he said.
Thomas explained HFSA can completely dissociate if water is distilled at least a couple of times, in a lab using pharmaceutical-brazed sodium fluoride.
“Then maybe, you will get this 100 per cent dissociation. But what we’re working with is adding an obnoxious chemical — which is anything other than pharmaceutical-grade sodium — into lake water and groundwater with all the contaminants and chemical and mineral signatures that are there. Does that sound like 99.97 per cent pure?” he asked.......
