[color:"blue"] This is where you get most of your Fluoride.
Excerpts from a 2005 Dow petition at [/color] EPA.gov

"1. Fluoride in or on the following raw agricultural commodities: Animal feed at 130 parts per million (ppm), beef, meat at 40 ppm; cheese, post harvest at 5 ppm; cocoa bean, post harvest at 12 ppm; coconut, post harvest at 40 ppm; coffee, post harvest at 12 ppm; cottonseed, post harvest at 13 ppm; egg at 850 ppm; ginger, post harvest at 13 ppm; grain, cereal, forage, fodder and straw group 16, post harvest at 130 ppm; grass, forage, fodder and hay group 17, post harvest at 130 ppm; ham at 20 ppm; herbs and spices group 19, post harvest at 50 ppm; milk at 3 ppm; nut, pine, post harvest at 10 ppm; other processed food at 70 ppm; peanut, post-harvest at 13 ppm; rice flour, post harvest at 98 ppm; and vegetable, legume, group 06, post harvest at 6 ppm."

[color:"blue"] Did anyone see the 130 ppm in animal feed and say "poor animals"? I wonder if this would make a cow mad. The eggs at 850 ppm are powdered, not fresh.
Wait, it gets better! When addressing Cumulative Effects, this is what they say.[/color]

"The Third Report on Nutrition Monitoring in the United States says that ``Food contributes only small amounts of fluoride and monitoring the diet for fluoride intake is not very useful for current public health concerns."

[color:"blue"]That's known as "cherry picking", the fluoride in food was way too high to approve, so they cite a report and move on. We aren't moving on because, just before the magic happened, they waived a wand, here it is. [/color]

"Fluoride is naturally present in both food and water in
varying amounts, and has been added to public water supplies to fight dental caries. The recommended concentration of fluoride (usually as fluorosilicic acid) in treated water supplies is 0.8 to 1.0 ppm."

Great Info!

If my memory serves me right, the "policy" of putting fluoride into public water supplies was introduced by a future "employee" of Alcoa: A company who produces fluoride as a toxic by product of their manufacturing process who had to pay to dispose of it, BUT NOW GETS PAID to dispose of it into city water supplies.

Some generation in the future will look back at us and think we were all a bunch of morons and cowards for bindly accepting and continuing to tolerate this criminal physical abuse.

Astounding!

[color:"blue"]To really understand what is going on with fluoride, you have to accept that it is an essential nutrient, with cell receptors, we are just getting way too much.

The three halogens, that make up the population of the thyroid are Fluorine, Iodine, and Chlorine . Fluorine being the most negatively charged, has the ability to dominate the population.

Now when you look at the symptoms of Fluoride you see Thyroid Dysfunctions, from fluoride induced deficiencies, account for the majority.

The Iodine deficiency is why Fluoride is the best way to protect people from radioactive iodine, it just can't get in so your body passes it. Fluoride also mineralizes bones and teeth,if minerals are available, radiation demineralizes.

Even though Fluoride is the most effective measure, the Atomic scientists still flood with Iodine to keep thyroid populations full, and prevent radioactive intake. This is because Iodine is crucial to mental function, focus and overall health.

Didn't it ever seem strange that, atomic scientist were using Fluoride for enriching uranium, and then dentists make discoveries the the Atomic scientist didn't know? An international think tank of scientists, shown up by dentists, thats their story and they are sticking to it. [/color]

That's pretty funny, because there is a big Alcoa plant in Blount county TN and in the South Blount Water District, Tennessee they stopped putting flouride in the water already, according to Boldy's post in another thread.

It's just for everyone else I guess. We don't drink flouidated water, haven't for years, no cavities. sad to say I drank a lot of coca cola for quite a few years... still.. no cavities.

Based on the reading I've done, cavities are really related to pH (lack of calcium via too much hydrogen i.e. sugar), and fluid flow through the tooth.

Interesting things teeth are.
