Debate over fluoride in water resurfaces in San Diego
Olivenhain Municipal Water District has informed it's customers that it will start fluoridation of our water on July 1st. This is nothing short of mass medication without a prescription! The fluoride to be added is a chemical by-product of the fertilizer industry and there is no way of knowing how much any one person will ingest. This is especially dangerous to children, the ones who will most likely drink tap water! Look on your tube of fluoridated toothpaste - there is a warning there, "DO NOT SWALLOW"! OMWD states in it's letter that if anyone has a problem with the fluoridation they can buy a reverse osmosis water filter to filter it out. This is the height of snobbery as it is the lower socio-economic family that probably cannot afford the filter and most probably drinks the tap water on a regular basis. The City of Portland, Oregon just rejected by fluoridation of it's water supply, for the fourth time. All the facts about fluoridation can be obtained online. There is wealth of evidence against the practice.— June 12, 2013 8:55 a.m.
