The Issue

WELLINGTON FLORIDA TO DECIDE FLUORIDATION ISSUE ON JUNE 28, 2016

Water Authorities Use Toxic Waste Products, Not Pharmaceutical Grade Fluoride!
When used in fluoridation, fluoride is a drug intended to alter the tooth enamel of children, But water authorities do not use pharmaceutical grade fluoride; they use hydrofluosilicic acid, or hexafluorosilicic acid — toxic waste products of the phosphate fertilizer industry. These chemicals are frequently contaminated with heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead, and other toxins. When ingested, fluoride affects the whole body, not just the teeth. There is ample evidence of harm, including an epidemic of dental fluorosis in children (mottled, stained and even pitted teeth). Toothpaste provides all the fluoride anyone needs. There is no longer any need for the expense, health risks and environmental contamination that comes with water fluoridation.
I DO NOT CONSENT TO FLUORIDE (HYDROFLUOSILIC ACID) BEING ADDED TO WELLINGTON, FLORIDA WATER, 33414 (CITY) DRINKING WATER.
