This Food Has 180 Times the Fluoride of Drinking Water (Page 5)

But, according to Green, you also need to make sure you have certain nutrients in your system. These three will help bind the free fluoride ions, allowing it to be excreted from your body more effectively:

Magnesium
Calcium
Vitamin C

Join the Fight to Get Fluoride Out of Drinking Water

In summary, it would seem like most rational people would conclude you should avoid using fluoride for its “preventive” benefits. You can easily choose not to take fluoride supplements or buy fluoride-free toothpaste and mouthwash. You can also dramatically reduce your fluoride exposure by opting for organic foods, on which fluoride-based pesticides are not permitted to be used. However, you’re still going to be stuck with whatever your community puts in the water, and as discussed, it’s very difficult to filter out of your water once it’s added. Many do not have the resources or the knowledge to do so.

It’s really time to stop the archaic practice of water fluoridation.

Earlier this year I joined forces with Dr. Paul Connett to help put an END to water fluoridation in the U.S and Canada. The Fluoride Action Network has a game plan to do just that. Our fluoride initiative will primarily focus on Canada, since 60 percent of Canada is already non-fluoridated. If we can get Calgary and the rest of Canada to stop fluoridating their water, we believe the U.S. will be forced to follow. I urge you to join the anti-fluoride movement in Canada and the United States by contacting the representative for your area below.

Contact Information for Canadian Communities:

If you live in Ontario, Canada, please join the ongoing effort by contacting Diane Sprules at diane.sprules@cogeco.ca.
The point-of-contact for Toronto, Canada is Aliss Terpstra. You may email her at aliss@nutrimom.ca.
The point-of-contact for the Peel region in Ontario, Canada is Rob Brewer. You may email him at FluorideFreePeel@ymail.com. Also see Fluoride Free Peel’s Facebook page.

Contact Information for American Communities:

We’re also going to address three US communities: New York City, Austin, and San Diego:

New York City, NY: The anti-fluoridation movement has a great champion in New York City councilor Peter Vallone, Jr., who introduced legislation on January 18 “prohibiting the addition of fluoride to the water supply.”

A victory there could signal the beginning of the end of fluoridation in the U.S. If you live in the New York area, I beg you to participate in this effort as your contribution could have a MAJOR difference. Remember that one person can make a difference.

The point person for this area is Carol Kopf, at the New York Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation (NYSCOF). Email her at NYSCOF@aol.com. Please contact her if you’re interested in helping with this effort.

Austin, Texas: Join the effort by contacting Rae Nadler-Olenick at either: info@fluoridefreeaustin.com or fluoride.info@yahoo.com, or by regular mail or telephone:

POB 7486
Austin, Texas 78713
Phone: (512) 371-3786

San Diego, California: Contact Patty Ducey-Brooks, publisher of the Presidio Sentinel at pbrooks936@aol.com.

I always remove the outside of leaves of lettuce because many years ago I noticed they tasted awful, I suspected spraying.

very interesting to dissect everything, essentially half the food items i eat or drink could have excessive amounts of fluoride.

This article is interesting. I would like to know more aobut the source of this information if you can provide it please. I have been looking at as much information as possible on Fluoridation because it is up for debate in many parts of NZ. I have found that much of the information on both sides is simply repeated, without reference to anything that substantiates it. Having said that there are some extremely compelling peices of research and information on the anti fluoride side and I think that the evidence against far outweighs the evidence for any benefits of fluoridation. It also looks as if any benefit from fluoride is mostly from brushing teeth with fluoride toothpaste. Ingesting fluoride (or not) should be a choice we all have and people need to be fully informed of the potential danger of fluorosis especially to children - who are the main targets of fluoridation campaigns. I am also very concerned that the fluoride used to fluoridate water is actually toxic waste (check this with your local council if you don't believe me - I did and they reluctantly acknowledged it would come from the fertiliser industry). This waste also contains heavy metals such as lead and cadmium and also arsenic and other poisonous substances. Even in the absence of fluoride which is undoubtedly a poison in it's own right, this is a concern. . I am not sure but I am told that the fluoride in toohpaste is also from this source. I encourage anyone with the slightest doubt to look further at the

I had no idea that pesticide residue had so much. One more reason to buy organic. Thanks for the info.
