Fluoride To Be Removed From Pottstown Water

[The Northerner]

Removal of the compound -- which in Pottstown's case comes from China -- could take up to nine months.

The Pottstown Borough Authority on Tuesday voted to remove fluoride from the public water supply.

Carrying out the decision, however, will take several months, Brent Wagner, utilities coordinator, said on Wednesday.

The state Dept. of Environmental Protection has been notified of the change -- which must be advertised before an amendment is enacted.

1. Good move!

>>But the Fluoride Action Network's website states, “Over the past ten years a large body of peer-reviewed science has raised concerns that fluoride may present unreasonable health risks, particularly among children, at levels routinely added to tap water in American cities ... In summary, we hold that fluoridation is an unreasonable risk."

And according to the International Anti-Fluoridation Database, "We would not purposely add arsenic to the water supply. And we would not purposely add lead. But we add fluoride. The fact is that fluoride is more toxic than lead and just slightly less toxic than arsenic."

The Associated Press in January reported, "A scientific report five years ago said that people who consume a lifetime of too much fluoride -- an amount over EPA’s limit of 4 milligrams -- can lead to crippling bone abnormalities and brittleness."

Get rid of this toxic crap! No wonder so many people are sick and/or dying at young ages. :(

4. More fear mongering. Fluoride is found naturally in water, soil and food all over the world.

It is the 13th most common compound found almot everywhere.
Fluoride is a needed compound in the body for strong teeth and bones.

Sodium and chlorine will kill you too, but they is added in large quantities to our processed foods.

8. Not fear mongering

when the crap they are adding is not natural at all, but a highly toxic industrial waste product.
