Water Fluoridation

Why add Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (HFSA) to artificially fluoridate public drinking water?  Hydrofluorosilicic Acid contains inorganic silico-fluoride.  It also contains trace amounts of contaminants such as lead, arsenic and mercuryWhen did lead, arsenic, and mercury become safe to drink over a lifetime, at any concentrations?  Hydrofluorosilicic Acid has yet to be proven safe for systemic ingestion (i.e. swallowing) or even effective at reducing dental caries (i.e. reducing decayed, missing, filled teeth). Why would we ever want to continue dumping these contaminants (i.e. hydrofluorosilicic acid) into our clean, fresh drinking water?



Featuring a Nobel Laureate in Medicine, three scientists from the National Research Council's landmark review on fluoride, as well as dentists, medical doctors, and leading researchers in the field, this professionally-produced video presents a powerful indictment of the fluoridation program. The video also includes four special features including Dr. Bill Osmunson's acclaimed statement on fluoride. A great resource for anyone involved in the issue.  (28min. 29sec.)  see video

Does swallowing fluoride have any significant benefit?

There is a shift in scientific thinking, which now accepts that swallowing fluoride (systemic ingestion of fluoride) does not make teeth more resistant to tooth decay.

Fluoride accumulates in our bodies over a lifetime, as do arsenic and lead. All three are known toxins. All three pose significant health hazards. All three are in hydrofluorosilicic acid.
