The Resolution Passed by
Bedford Full Council Meeting on 20th
July 2011 in Relation to Water Fluoridation
Petitions Agenda, Appendix A, Item 10.
“The Campaign Against Water Fluoridation in Bedford
We the undersigned are deeply concerned that a toxic cocktail of
chemicals are being added to our drinking water in the name of “water
fluoridation”.
We would like to point out that this toxic cocktail called
“Hexafluorosilicic acid” is a waste product from the
manufacturers of fertiliser. It consists of harmful chemicals
including fluorosilicic acid, arsenic and lead.
We impress upon the Council to act decisively by asking Anglian Water
to immediately stop adding “Hexafluorosilicic acid” to our water
supply.
