I edit articles for a journalist friend and following is the latest one, about a state wide mandate for fluoridated water in Arkansas.
The community where I live, Eureka Springs, has fought fluoridation tooth and nail, and now we have some new angles to work with.
We have an historic district here with old water pipes and it turns out fluoride causes lead to leech out into the water in lethal amounts.
We also have info now about animals being adversely affected by fluoride, including factory farm animals and expensive race horses.
Some of the reader's comments are very astute (some not so--there's a troll in every bunch, it seems! :lol: )

CBWD operator takes up anti-fluoride fight

Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Becky Gillette
It is possible that customers of Carroll Boone Water District may not have fluoride added to their water after all as a result ofa CBWD contract with Eureka Springs, Berryville, Green Forest and Harrison that forbids the introduction of any corrosive water into distribution systems.
There are concerns that highly corrosive fluoride added to the water could leach lead from distribution pipes, which could cause lead contamination of drinking water, said René Fonseca, a licensed operator with the CBWD.

Lead is a neurotoxin harmful to infants and pregnant women that causes developmental delays in children, damages kidneys and the nervous system and interferes with red blood cell chemistry, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Approximately 250,000 U.S. children 1 to 5 years-old have blood lead levels greater than 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood, the level at which CDC recommends public health actions be initiated.

Lead poisoning can affect nearly every system in the body. Because lead poisoning often occurs with no obvious symptoms, it frequently goes unrecognized.

Fonseca said experience in other areas of the country with aging infrastructure has shown that fluoride chemicals added to the water supply can result in extremely high lead levels in children. In 2004, an investigation by the CDC found that 42,000 children in Washington D.C. 16 months-old and younger had blood levels 2.4 times higher than normal.

It could happen here

Fonseca talked to water officials in Washington, D.C. who told him the problem was created when they switched to chloramines for water disinfection, mixing chloramines with fluoridation products that combined to have a corrosive effect on the city's aging lead pipes. Fonseca said similar problems have been identified in at least three other water districts with lead pipes. His concern is that the same thing could result here from introducing fluoride into CBWD water.

"In aging systems, even with optimal corrosion control in place, it would be a challenge, if not impossible, to prevent the leaching of lead into the water," Fonseca said. "This is a very important public health issue. Under our contract, I don't see how they can force us to fluoridate the water."

The issue is bigger than Eureka Springs or the CBWD. Fonseca said he is concerned about health and welfare of all citizens of Arkansas where waters are fluoridated now or plans are underway to add fluoridation.

The state legislature has mandated fluoride be added to all public water supplies serving more than 5,000 people.The Public Health Service states that fluoridation helps prevent dental decay and is one of the Top Ten public health achievements of the 20th Century.

"Water fluoridation has helped improve the quality of life in the U.S. by reducing pain and suffering related to tooth decay, time lost from school and work, and money spent to restore, remove, or replace decayed teeth," according to the U.S. Surgeon General. "An economic analysis has determined that in most communities, every $1 invested in fluoridation saves $38 or more in treatment costs."

We're not alone

Eureka Springs has twice voted against fluoridation. Opponents of fluoridation say many other cities across the country have stopped fluoridating waters after studies have linked it hypothyroidism, heart disease, learning problems in children and possibly cancer.

There are also concerns the fluoride products added to the water could be contaminated with toxic chemicals. The CBWD, which serves a population of about 25,000, contacted 49 suppliers of fluoride asking for proper American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and NFS60 certification that would list all contaminants by weight, and include information about toxicological studies pertaining to those contaminants. Not one supplier responded to the request for information.

Fonseca said a recent analysis of a random sample of sodium fluorosilicate additive contained 17 trace elements of a toxic nature including lead, arsenic, and thorium, a radionuclide.

Operators are also concerned about how their health would be impacted by exposure from fluoride, which is a hazardous chemical that must be handled with special precautions.

"These are extremely dangerous substances," Fonseca said. "The acute lethal toxicity of sodium fluorosilicate for an adult man is 6.2 grams, which is about the weight of an average driver's license. At a water plant the size of CBWD, you would be dumping 150 pounds a day into the water--enough oral doses to poison 9,600 men a day or 297,000 men a month. This is not pharmaceutical grade fluoride, as you would receive in the dental office.

"So today from the Ozark Mountains, let our voice be loud enough to carry to Washington, D.C. to the President of the U.S., the U.S. Congress and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to test and approve fluoride products or forever ban this insidious practice," Fonseca said. "Water is a life-giving force. Good quality water is a basic necessity for life."

A lawsuit was filed in 2011 in the Southern District Court of California which claims Americans have a constitutional right to not be exposed without their permission to a drug that has never been approved. The lawsuit states that Congress established that the FDA is the only government entity with the authority to approve claims of safety and effectiveness for products intended to treat and prevent disease. Fluoride used in the water industry has never been tested or approved by the FDA.

A new state mandate on water fluoridation requires that funding for equipment to add fluoridation must come from grants and not from taxes or by increasing rates for water district customers. The Delta Dental Foundation has grants available for equipment. But Fonseca said the equipment is only a small part of the cost, as the district would also have to add buildings to house the operation.

Counting the cost

It has been estimated that it will cost CBWD $1.23 million to add the fluoridation equipment and necessary infrastructure. Some legislators have said they were told by lobbyists for fluoridation that the mandate would not cost the taxpayers or increase customers' water bills.

The Mockingbird Hill Water Association in Boone County has unanimously opposed fluoridation, stating that many of their 300 members are economically depressed.

"We reject this unnecessary mandated cost being shoved down our throat," said Association President John H. Meyer, who said the board doesn't want a deadly chemical injected into their drinking water.

Crystal Harvey, state director of Safe Drinking Water for Secure Arkansas, said the water fluoridation mandate bill was rushed through the House and Senate in less than seven working days -- hardly enough time to hear from all the citizens in Arkansas against adding a known toxic substance to their water.

In addition to Eureka Springs, Fort Smith and Hot Springs have also opposed adding fluoride to their water system.

"Eureka Springs, Hot Springs and even Fort Smith in its historic areas have those old lead pipes in them," Harvey said. "When you add fluoride, it leaches lead from those pipes."

In addition to harming residents, fluoridation of water supplies could also be a deterrent to tourism.

"Hot Springs is known worldwide for its water, and Eureka Springs also has a history of being renowned for the healing quality of its water," Harvey said. "People may be less likely to come visit if they know that our water could be contaminated with a known accumulative toxic poison. We live in an era of a lot of health-conscious people that want to avoid poisonous chemicals in our food and water."

Not just humans

Harvey said the rushed passage of this law also prevented discussion of how the mandate could affect animals.

"Most farms that raise livestock have traditionally had wells to provide water to their animals," she said. "With the expansion of the rural water districts in Arkansas, that has all changed. We have water districts all over the state, especially Northwest Arkansas, that fall under this mandate but the vast majority of the water supplied in these rural areas goes to maintain the lives of chickens, horses and cattle. Now we don't want anything to happen to our pets, but what about the people or the big corporations in our state that depend on animals for their income?"

Harvey said owners of horses raced at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs might not come to the area if they knew a toxin was intentionally being added to the water that could damage their investment to the point that their horses would not be able to race or, worse yet, have to be put down because of fractures.

"If the City of Hot Springs is forced to fluoridate their water system, these thoroughbred horses will be consuming a known toxic substance," Harvey said.

This is sensationalism at its greatest.

No one must use toothpaste in this town. What do you people think the active ingredient is??

Loudmouthed hippies doing more harm than good.

People like Chimps obviously don't understand science and can only resort to personal insults . Actually, look at the toothpaste tube. You'll see that poison control must be called if the fluoride is swallowed.

Besides, the fluoride chemicals that are added to water supplies are not pharmaceutical grade. They are waste by-products of the phosphate fertilizer industry and, as this article explains, are allowed to contain trace amounts of very harmful toxins. Hydrofluosilicic acid is collected from smokestacks, trucked as hazardous waste and dumped unpurified into your drinking water.

These chemicals have never been safety tested in animals or humans.

The CDC says that, for children, there is no safe level of lead.

So how does it make sense to add lead-laced fluoride chemicals into these children via the water supply?

It is pure propaganda for the dental groups to claim savings of $38 for each $1 invested in fluoridation.

Even if fluoride was helpful to teeth, distributing any drug in drinking water is the most expensive and wasteful method. As a Civil Engineer, I know that people drink only 1/2% (one-half percent) of the water they use. The remaining 99 ½ % of the water with this toxic fluoride chemical (Hexafluorosilicic acid, which is waste material flushed directly from industrial smokestacks) is dumped directly into the environment through the sewer system. The company CEO would be arrested immediately if they dumped this toxic waste into a river. The only way they can do it legally is to run it through the community water system first.

For example, for every $1000 of fluoride chemical added to water, $995 would be directly wasted down the drain in toilets, showers, dishwashers, etc., $5 would be consumed in water by the people, and less than $0.50 (fifty cents) would be consumed by children, the target group for this outdated practice.

That would be comparable to buying one gallon of milk, using six-and-one-half drops of it, and pouring the rest of the gallon in the sink.

Fluoridation surely is in contention as the most wasteful government program. Giving away fluoride tablets free to anyone who wants them would be far cheaper and certainly more ethical, because then we would have the freedom to choose which prescription drug we take.

Read the truth produced in the best scientific information on fluoridation here: (www.fluoridealert.org). You will see a petition signed by over 4000 professionals, including hundreds of dentists, hundreds of doctors, and other medical researchers calling on governments everywhere to stop fluoridation.

There are many large scientific studies there to show that drinking fluoridated water has no positive effect on cavity reduction and to show that it causes cancer, thyroid damage, broken hips from brittle bones, lowered IQ and other health problems.

The World Health Organization studied 16 countries and showed fluoride is of no value for teeth. Most countries like China, India, and Japan has rejected it. Europe has rejected it and is 98% fluoride free. Many other large scientific studies in several countries show the same ineffectiveness.

Many thanks to Becky Gillette and Rene Fonseca for sticking to their guns and bringing these important issues surrounding the fluoride controversy to the attention of the whole community! They have performed a very much needed public service and are owed a debt of gratitude.

Never tested for safety or approved by the FDA, shown by the WHO to have no value for teeth, proved to be the cause of many serious health problems, rejected by more and more communities and countries worldwide...

Dangerous, costly, toxic, untested, unproven, other deadly toxins included in the mix probable, so why have Arkansas policy makers allowed this to be pushed through?
-- Posted by aquene on Thu, Feb 16, 2012, at 2:18 PM

Chimps. You have no idea what your talking about. Do you have a water license? I do. I suggest you go over to Rogers where they feed fluoride, drink 3 gallons of water on a hot summer day, then calculate just how much fluoride your body took in.

I will be more than happy to stand at the gates of the CBWD to block this insanity. Go ahead, make my day. Many thanks to Becky Gillette and Rene Fonseca who stand up against the gooberment!

Misinformed Legislators Pass Unfunded Mandate That Can Jeopardize Animals, Tourism and the Poultry Industry
January 26, 2012
http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2011pres/01/pre_pub_frn_fluoride.html


Most folks in Arkansas cherish our animals, whether it be for food, income, or, best of all, as companions. Secure Arkansas believes that we have a right to know what will affect our health as well as what will affect the health of our pets and our livelihoods. In 2011, Mike Beebe, Governor of Arkansas, signed a bill into law that requires all districts providing water for over 5000 people to add hydrofluosilicic acid to their water supply. The water fluoridation mandate bill was rushed through the House and Senate in less than 7 working days – hardly enough time to hear from all the citizens in Arkansas that actually voted against adding a known toxic substance to our water.

Because of the rushed passage of this law, there was not any time to consider how this mandate could affect our animals. Most farms that raise livestock have traditionally had wells to provide water to their animals. With the expansion of the rural water districts in Arkansas, that has all changed. We have water districts all over the state, especially Northwest Arkansas, that fall under this mandate but the vast majority of the water supplied in these rural areas goes to maintain the lives of chickens, horses and cattle. Now we don’t want anything to happen to our pets, but what about the people or the big corporations in our state that depend on animals for their income.

Although some of us have a few issues with the way some big corporations conduct business, even Tyson would have to agree, poultry producers are already facing bone issues with their chickens, as seen here in this study, “Factors Regulating Bone Maturity and Strength in Poultry,” by N. C. Rath, G. R. Huff, W. E. Huff, and J. M. Balog, USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Poultry Science Center, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas. I wonder if the chickens used in this study were from the poultry farms in Springdale,AR? Most of these farms use Springdale’s fluoridated water system to raise their chickens. Why wasn’t the content of their water source not considered when examining the reasons for the bone issues of poultry? Will they be seeing more problems when mandatory water fluoridation is implemented all over the state?

Although chickens don’t usually live long enough to show long-term effects of water fluoridation, they do show damage as seen here in this study. Another consideration is how the poultry affects humans after it ends up in the grocery store. (See: Fluoride in drinking water: a scientific review of EPA’s Standards — National Research Council (U.S.) – Committee on Fluoride in Drinking Water) http://books.google.com/books?id=nrzA2zrqGaMC&pg=PA37&lpg=PA37&dq=fluoride+chicken+deboning+process&source=bl&ots=pP6gRwPCvr&sig=nKE5VUD3jasOhgrPneKb-nv1eDk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=t4cbT9XvKsLY2AXJn7n4Cw&ved=0CFcQ6AEwCTgK#v=onepage&q=fluoride%20chicken%20deboning%20process&f=false

Another important industry in Arkansas is tourism. Since we’re speaking of animals, Oaklawn Park, in Hot Springs comes to mind. How do you think the owners of these very expensive horses would feel if they knew a substance being added to the water could damage their investment to the point that their horses would not be able to race or, worse yet, have to be put down because of fractures. If the city of Hot Springs is forced to fluoridate their water system, these thoroughbred horses will be consuming a know toxic substance. Shown on this link is a letter written by Dr. Richard Sauerheber (B.A. Biology, Ph.D. Chemistry, University of California, San Diego) to then Governor Schwarzenegger, over his concerns for the California horse-racing industry as it pertains to water fluoridation.

But what about the horses that are used for riding, horse shows and personal pleasure? Meet Cathy and Wayne Justus of Pagosa Springs, Colorado who experienced incredible debilitating symptoms in their world class quarter horses and their dogs with seemingly no source or reason. After the death of Cathy’s prize horse, the local veterinarian tested for every known possibility for the cause but could not come up with an explanation. It was not until Dr. Lennart Krook, Professor Emeritus of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, tested for fluoride toxicity that they knew for certain what was killing their horses. They had been poisoned by fluoride in their drinking water. Quote from Justus, “I have the sad distinction of owning the first horses to ever be diagnosed with chronic fluoride poisoning from artificially fluoridated municipal water. I have this distinction, not because it hasn’t been happening for years all over this world, but because vets, like doctors and dentists, are not taught in their schooling the science and biochemistry of fluoride and what it does to the body. I know of this lack of training of proven science because I have made it a point, over the last 25 years, to talk to hundreds of these professionals. We have now lost 8 horses and 4 dogs to this virulent cumulative toxin. This was scientifically proven by the world’s authority of fluoride poisoning at Cornell University in New York.” See the rest of her amazing letter here.

Looking GOOOOD. It's a great start. Hope many more communities follow suit....

[onawah]

Much more here:

about the fluoride fight in Arkansas, with lots of info that could be applied in other community battles.
There are many different angles which can be used to reveal the insanity and illegality.
I'm hoping this will be one of the battles the alternative community will have clearly won by the end of 2012.

Great news but be aware of the bigger picture going on here with flouride delivery. Couple posts from another thread.






"Flouride In Your Food"

Fluoride-Based Pesticide Contaminating Food Staples

Iceberg lettuce can now be laced with a startling 180 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride – 180 times higher than the `recommended' water fluoridation level. This `health' food could actually be corroding your body with heavy levels of fluoride. But what other seemingly-healthy produce items contain high amounts of fluoride?

Citrus fruits are actually allowed to contain 95 ppm's of sodium fluoride.
Potatoes can have as much as 22 ppm's on the outside, and 2 ppm inside.
Raisins are allowed 55 ppm's.

Common Food Items Could Contain 180 Times More Fluoride Than Tap Water

Anthony Gucciardi
NaturalSociety
February 7, 2011

Fluoridated tap water and toothpaste are oftentimes considered the main sources of fluoride exposure, but it turns out that common food items could actually be largely contributing to your fluoride intake. According to fluoride expert Jeff Green, who has been actively protesting and studying the effects of fluoride on the body for other 15 years, one common food product contains up to 180 times more fluoride than your fluoridated tap water!

According to Green, the culprit is non-organic food, but not just one kind. If you’re still eating conventionally-farmed food products, you may be unknowingly exposing yourself to extreme levels of fluoride. Green says this is made possible by fluoride going incognito within the food supply in a very concerning way:

“Cryolite is actually sodium aluminum fluoride… This sodium aluminum fluoride is especially effective at killing bugs,” Green says. “It’s also very sticky, so when they spray it, it’s more likely to stick on your produce, unless you’re… really working at trying to get it off of it.”

Fluoride-Based Pesticide Contaminating Food Staples
While Green states that a large number of non-organic produce items can contain shocking levels of this fluoride-based pesticide, iceberg lettuce may be one of the largest offenders. In fact, iceberg lettuce can now be laced with a startling 180 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride – 180 times higher than the ‘recommended’ water fluoridation level. This ‘health’ food could actually be corroding your body with heavy levels of fluoride. But what other seemingly-healthy produce items contain high amounts of fluoride?

Citrus fruits are actually allowed to contain 95 ppm’s of sodium fluoride.
Potatoes can have as much as 22 ppm’s on the outside, and 2 ppm inside.
Raisins are allowed 55 ppm’s.
Fluoride has been linked to decreased IQ in children, and even the United States government is calling for lower levels of fluoride to be added to United States water supplies. Perhaps the next big hurdle in the fight against fluoride will be within the food industry.

Its ironic, that the focus here is on the welfare of the animals, to get them to stop the flouridation, and not the welfare of the people. I guess if that is what it takes to get the job done, we'll take it, bit it's still mind boggling.

Any angle is fine, so long as it works!
The fact that there is already so much fluoride in our food should definitely have an impact on the fluoridated water issue, too.
