Although there are certainly other factors that can cause this rise in the amount of heart disease among many of the people on this planet, including a poor diet, what people do not need more of is a chemical deliberately added to the water supply.

What is difficult to understand is why, with a lack of evidence supporting the use of fluoride and a great number of studies that show indiscriminate use of it can cause tons of health problems, it is still used throughout municipal water supplies everywhere?

Fluoride is not needed by the body for any reason. There is not a single process within the body that needs fluoride. This chemical is a cumulative poison. About 98 percent of the fluoride you ingest is in the water you drink, which is absorbed directly through your gastrointestinal tract. Most people excrete about 50 percent of the fluoride that is consumed each day through your kidneys. The remainder will accumulate in your teeth, pineal gland, bones, and other tissues including the blood vessels. How much fluoride will be deposited in the bones depends on other minerals in the body, such as magnesium, calcium, selenium, and vitamin C. Fluoride will bind itself to calcium rich tissue, anything left will settle in the teeth, bones, and other organs.

    They refuse to answer simple questions like “Why do you insist on contaminating the water supply with the stuff?” They do not care what you think or say about it, they go right on doing it. Why are there no ingredient labels on bottled water? Why do they insist on adding it to distilled and spring water before putting it on the market? You really think they care THAT much if you get a cavity?
