Are any of you concerned with the environmental implications of water fluoridation. Your Governor just signed a bill that would mandate adding fluoride into your drinking water. The fluoride that's generally used in other parts of the country is hydrofluosilicic acid. It is a by-product of the fertilizer industry. It is impure and contains trace amounts of lead, arnsenic and other contaminents. It's not purified before its put into the water supply. The fluoride is added to medicate children against tooth decay while their teeth are forming. Fluoride is not put into the water to treat it in any way or to make the water potable. We stopped 29 years of water fluoridation in my town, without any measurable effect in the decay rate. Suggest you contact your legislators and tell them not to put fluoride into your water. Studies show children already get too much. It shows up as white spots on the teeth. It will cost millions of dollars to implement fluoridation in your state. Carol Kopf
