USA - New Jersey - Oppose fluoride bill

Oppose fluoride bill
A bill (A3706) released by committee this month forces water fluoridation throughout New Jersey ("Fluoride measure advances," Feb. 10).

Fluoride is a toxic waste, a manufacturing byproduct, and is used in rat poison. Fluoride is very caustic and damages water systems. After decades of experimentation, 98 percent of Europe is now fluoridation-free, as is Japan.

Fluoride is more toxic than lead, only slightly less toxic than arsenic, and is chemically the most active seeker of electrons that it "steals" from its neighboring molecules. An NRC study concluded that chronic health effects of fluoridation concluded a likely increase for bone fractures.

Fluoride is most effective when given topically and is available in almost all toothpaste. Yet children are often prescribed poly-vi-fluor vitamins. My own children suffered fluorosis (mottling of teeth) from them. Currently every community in New Jersey can choose to fluoridate or not. When given the choice two-thirds of Americans choose against fluoridation. The Assembly really needs to do some research before forcing this poison on the people of New Jersey.
