(NaturalNews) A major health victory has been achieved in New Mexico
where officials in the state's largest city, Albuquerque, have made the
historic decision to stop artificially fluoridating the municipal water
supply. This means that more than half a million local residents will no
longer be forcibly medicated with a toxic byproduct of the phosphate
fertilizer manufacturing industry, and the city itself will save
hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars a year in the process.
KOB News 4 in Albuquerque reports that, after much deliberation, officials from the Albuquerque Water Authority
decided that it is no longer necessary to fluoridate the city's water
supply. Since some naturally-occurring fluoride is already present in
the Albuquerque water supply, the city will instead "err on the side of
caution," to quote the words of the Water Authority's David Morris.
And
why, exactly, is the city employing "caution" in the matter? First, the
fluoride that continues to be added to many water supplies across
America is not actually fluoride at all. It is either sodium fluoride,
sodium fluorosilicate, or fluorosilicic acid, all of which are
highly-toxic, industrial waste byproducts with no scientifically
demonstrable health benefits.
In fact, these poser fluoride
compounds have been shown in many recent studies to cause severe health
problems, including tooth decay. Synthetic fluorides are also
responsible for causing developmental problems in children, brain
damage, lowered IQ, thyroid disorders, bone damage, hormone disruption
and cancer (http://www.fluoridealert.org/fluoride-dangers/health/index.aspx).
According to Shane Ellison, M. Sc., also known as The People's Chemist,
fluoride directly attacks the structural integrity of the body,
including collagen, a vital protein in the body that composes connective
tissues like tendons, bones, cartilage, blood vessels, and even gut
lining. Fluoride has also been shown to be mutagenic, which means it
damages DNA and can lead to the development of cancer.
