User ID: 894587 Canada 01/12/2011 09:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Canadian Water Fluoridation debate... 2 interesting articles about water fluoridation. They both make some good points and are well worth reading. [ link to www.calgaryherald.com] Aren't we concerned about herbicides on our lawns, pesticides on our fruit, carcinogens in our cosmetics, methylparabens in our shampoo and mercury in our tuna? Then, we should also be concerned about fluoride in our drinking water. Get it out of there. We ingest more than enough of a witches' brew of chemicals every day, given all the products we use that have dubious stuff in them. When we have the choice to avoid a chemical, we should exercise that choice.Take fluoride out of the water -- and remove it from the toxic overload our bodies are already dealing with. [ link to news.nationalpost.com] Critics say overintake of fluoride contributes to health problems, with links drawn to cancer, reduced bone density and intelligence levels. Organizations such as the Fluoride Action Network have called it toxic. Many consider fluoride a medicine and believe they should be able to choose whether they ingest it (fluoride doesn't need to be ingested to be effective, the network says). Some, including Ms. Farrell, wonder if it's effective at all, citing research from the United States that shows cities with the worst tooth decay are also ones that fluoridate. Nutrition and dental care are much better than they were 60 years ago, when fluoridation largely began, Ms. Farrell said. Adding fluoride to city water is also expensive -- it costs Calgary taxpayers approximately $750,000 a year, she said. People are starting to use their brains maybe? We can oply hope I guess. SDM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 948263At least people are starting to realize it. Lots of municipal votes going on in Canada to have the shit removed. Several cities already have. SDM |
