The health risks associated with fluoride are a growing concern and documentation that suggests they may be harmful to our long-term well-being are growing in number.
Flouride is a toxic substance and is lethal in high amounts. Toothpaste is labelled as poisonous if ingested, and potentially lethal in pea-size amounts. (See Colgate, Crest products for verification) Despite a growing body of documentation suggesting long-term health problems associated with cumulative consumption of fluoride, we are subject to forced fluoridation in most cities in North America, including Ottawa.
Fluoride is only effective in treating/preventing dental problems when applied topically. When you go to the dentist, they don't tell you to eat the fluoride paste!
Why? Because it's TOXIC.
This is a petition to put pressure on our government and end the forced fluoridation of Ottawa's municipal water supply. It's aim is also to restore our right to exercise our own freedom in what we consume. We can exercise these rights in our supermarkets with food and we should have the same right with our water.
FYI
- Fluoride chemicals added to drinking water are not the natural fluoride found in very small amounts in water supplies. The fluoride chemicals commonly used in dosing plants are mostly imported from China and are waste products from the phosphate fertiliser and aluminium manufacturing industry.
- These chemicals do not exist in nature. They are classified as Schedule 6 & 7 Poisons with high toxicity that are considered pollutants if they get into the air, our oceans, rivers or lakes but if it goes straight into our drinking water it is a medication.
- Tooth decay is not significantly reduced with water fluoridation – 95% of the world’s population do not fluoridate their drinking water and yet have similar tooth decay to heavily fluoridated countries (World Health Organisation Data 2012).
- Fluoridation, touted as one of the 10 greatest health initiatives of the 20th century is now considered to be a failed public health policy and possibly one of the greatest mistakes of the 21st Century.
