Industrial Poison in Your Tap
Look at the bags. Sodium fluoride ships with a skull and crossbones and is labeled “TOXIC” with Class 6 poison warnings. The same compound gets diluted and pumped into municipal water systems. I'm curious if they change the labeling to subdue moral feelings or if the water plant employees ACTUALLY open bags such as this before putting it INTO the water supply.

Most of the fluoride added to U.S. water is a byproduct captured from fertilizer production. Disposing of this used to be a nightmare for the industry until some evil genius lobbied Washington and convinced them to put it IN the water. Once the waste was reclassified and branded as a water additive, the liability problem vanished.
Water treatment already adds chlorine, another industrial chemical that is lethal in concentrated form. Now fluoride is added as well. The standard reply is that “the dose makes the poison.” It does not answer why a substance that requires a skull and crossbones labeling is the preferred solution for a dental program.

Outrageous.
