| Our government
spends taxpayer's money to subsidize farmers to grow tobacco instead of
vegetables. Then we pay for anti-smoking public education campaigns and
treatment of cancer and heart disease caused by smoking. We are funding
both sides of the war! Too many of us depend on the government for answers
and they don't have them.
How about some information
about fluoride in the water supply?
From 1981 to 1986, 10,000
people died from AIDS. During that same five-year period, 250,000 people
died from fluoride poisoning, but no one heard about it. It's not that
the AIDS victims did not merit their publicity, but the victims of fluoride-poisoning
deserved more.
Sodium fluoride is a by-product
of aluminum refinery. Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's disease.
It's in the water supply, some baking powders and canned drinks. Sodium fluoride is used to kill rodents and insects.
Do we need fluoride to prevent
tooth decay? No, tooth decay is caused by poor nutrition, not lack of sodium
fluoride in the water.
The origin of adding fluoride
to water supplies occurred in 1939 when industry commissioned a biochemist
to find a use for the large amount of sodium fluoride wastes produced by
aluminum pot lines. Big industry pressured state and local governments
to fluoridate their water supplies and the public was given the sales pitch
that fluoride would prevent tooth decay.
The standard label on a shipment
of fluoride reads:
"WARNING: Corrosive Liquid...
This vapor or liquid is very dangerous when it comes in contact with the
eyes, skin or any part of the body, or if taken internally. When it comes
in contact with the skin it can cause painful and slow-healing burns. Exposure
to more than 50 part fumes per million of air is known to be fatal in thirty
to sixty minutes."
Fluoride will eat through
a quarter-inch steel plate in less than three minutes. |
