The fluoride compound that is added to water by municipalities is a silicofluoride, which never occurs naturally in nature and has been shown to be 85 times more toxic than naturally occurring calcium fluoride. These silicofluorides are actually a hazardous waste, a by-product of industrial procedures, containing many toxic pollutants. Although they have been approved by some as a "medical treatment," for every study "proving" their benefit, there are two others "proving" their toxicity and dangers. Not all that is presented as "science" is accurate or honest. Some studies are nefarious. For this reason alone, it is right and ethical to allow the public to think for themselves, to research for themselves, and to govern what "medications" are personally ingested. Water is a fundamental resource necessary for everyone's survival. Silicofluorides are not. They are, in fact, a hazardous waste. It is unethical to mix the two under the premise that it is "for the common good."
