Fluoride in water a health hazard

FOLLOWING your recent spread regarding water charges (March 2), I feel citizens should be more concerned over the content of their water rather than the possible cost.

For decades now sodium hexafluorosilicic acids (aka fluoride) has been poured into our water supply without the consent of the people and thereby force-medicating the population. (Has anyone ever been given a prescription for this medicine?)

Fluoride is a waste by-product of the fertiliser and aluminium and phosphate industry and is a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972. The fluoride agent used in this state is a fertiliser waste product imported from a fertiliser factory in Holland, where fluoridation is banned by law. It also contains arsenic, mercury, lead and chromium.
