Here's a very misleading report on the effects of fluoride on heart
disease. If you read the report it seems to imply that consuming
fluoride in the water supply or toothpaste, for example, improves the
heart health of the public. What the story doesn't reveal, however, is
that it was based on groundwater minerals - that is, naturally occurring
minerals that existing combination. In contrast, the fluoride that is
typically added to municipal water supplies is nothing of the kind.
It's a completely different chemical called fluorosilicic acid, which is
gathered primarily from smokestack scrubbers and would normally have to
be disposed of as a toxic waste if it weren't purchased by cities and
slowly dripped into the public water supply. There have been no studies
demonstrating any safety whatsoever of this fluorosilicic acid, and yet
cities and towns across the world continue to argue in favor of public
water supply fluoridation based on studies like the one published here,
which is based on a completely different chemical. I continue to find
it fascinating that this highly toxic chemical is illegal to dump into
any river or stream unless it first passes through the bodies of the
public. Somehow, this fluorosilicic acid is so highly toxic that the EPA
considers it an environmental toxin, but yet it is not too toxic to feed
to force down the throat of Joe public.
