Re: Be intelligent about fluoride, by Richard Scratch, April 11.
Great care is taken by the Windsor Utilities Commission to ensure that we have access to clean, safe water to drink and bathe in. We boast a stateof-the-art ozone water treatment system.
http://www.windsorstar.com/health/Stop+adding+drinking+water/6507389/story.htmlI learned that hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFS), known to us as "fluoride," that's being added to our water is a highly toxic industrial waste product. Why are we going to the trouble of making our water clean only to dump this substance into it?
I have also learned damage to teeth called "dental fluorosis" is caused by too much fluoride. We now know that HFS causes health problems that can affect every part of the body - and the smaller or more frail the body is, the higher the risk for damage to thyroid, kidneys, bones, central nervous system and more.
People deserve to be warned about the dangers of any substance that is being added to their water so they can decide whether or not to ingest it. Recently, New Hampshire's House of Representatives voted in favour of a bill that would mandate warning labels on water bills in fluoridated communities that would read: "Fluoridated. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, if your child under the age of six months is exclusively consuming formula reconstituted with fluoridated water, there may be an increased chance of dental fluorosis. Consult your child's health care provider for more information."
Windsor Utilities Commission might consider doing the same or, better yet, why not just stop adding HFS to our drinking water?
