Guess where your fluoride comes from? China!

August 17th, 2010

(NaturalNews) Much of the fluoride added to municipal water
supplies across the United States is imported from China, and is
contaminated with heavy metals, according to a warning by
Bernard Miltenberger, president of the Pure Water Committee of Western
Maryland.
In a letter published in the Cumberland Times-News, Miltenberger notes
that he first became aware of the issue in an engineering report for
the city of Boulder, Colo. The report noted that the fluoridation chemicals
used for the city’s water had been evaluated, and were found to contain
lead levels of 40 milligrams per bag and arsenic levels of 50 milligrams
per bag. The bags were being imported from China under no
regulatory monitoring of acid or salt content.
Miltenberger then visited the Frostburg Water Filtration Plant in Maryland
and noticed that the fluoride bags were not labeled with any importation
information. He contacted the plant’s chemical supplier, Univar USA, and
was then referred to Sovay fluorides. Sovay informed him that the fluoride
had been manufactured by Shanghai Minthchem Development in China.
“This type of trade from a country with a track record of lead paint
on toys to antifreeze in cough syrup medicine is completely unacceptable,”
Miltenberger writes.
Heavy metal contamination is only the latest concern to emerge over
the practice of water fluoridation, which has been controversial since its
inception. Fluoride is a well-known toxic chemical, as Miltenberger notes:
“The material safety data sheets from Solvay fluorides show that a teaspoon
amount of five grams of sodium fluoride can be fatal to an average size man
of 70kg. … chronic toxicity by oral route may cause skeletal and dental
fluorosis, thyroid, testes, kidney, liver, ambiguous carcinogenic and mutagenic
effects, fetotoxic and fertility effects.”
Miltenberger also notes that fluoride toothpaste contains a warning that
anyone who consumes more than a pea-size amount should contact a poison
control center at once. This amount of toothpaste contains as much
fluoride as just eight ounces of fluoridated water. A prescription-strength
fluoride supplement marketed by Colgate warns that children under the
age of six should not consume doses regularly added to municipal water.

Editor’s Comment: So we could ass-u-me then, that the rest of the
world, if they are to be-lie-ve their own custodians of Public Health;
our Governments, that our supllies of this chemical into our water supplies
are properly regulated by reputable testing authorities, labelled correctly
and is 100% scientifically safe beyond any doubt?
Yeah right! And Pigs might fly too!
