Unwanted Additives

Southern California has a bit of a squabble going on over unwanted fluoride added to the water.

It would be very strange to me if we added birth control chemicals to our water supply. Why isn't it strange to add fluoride to our water?

How much fluoride are we getting in our foods? If you had a Coke, a glass of milk and a bowl of Wheaties you would be getting 230% of the recommended daily amount of fluoride. How much water do you drink each day, with added fluoride? How many vegetables do you eat each day, which have absorbed fluoride from being watered with fluoridated water. How many canned vegetables do you eat each day, which are packed with fluoridated water? How many processed foods do you eat each day, which have been processed with fluoridated water?

Do you brush your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste?

I happen to be a Japanese/Thai/Vietnamese food lover, so my intake of seaweed is more than most. Fluoride is naturally occurring in most seaweed.

If you think this is an innocuous argument, read what professionals have to say about it.

Also consider that fluoride is supposed to be a Micronutrient.
