Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 THOUSANDS OF EPA SCIENTISTS ISSUE WARNING ON FLUORIDE Over 7,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees have called on Congress to pass a moratorium on the use of fluoride in drinking water, citing a series of new studies directly connecting the chemical to cancer. The group, made up predominantly of EPA scientists, has sent letters to key Congressional committees and the EPA Secretary, calling for the EPA to classify fluoride as a human carcinogen. At this point, it appears the National Academy of Sciences is being instructed to review relevant studies and report to Congress and the EPA on the topic in early 2006. The OCA will be calling on its supporters to take action when that report is released. http://www.organicconsumers.org/foodsafety/flouride090105.cfm Caroline Collard World's first fully certified organic skin, body, oral and health care products www.happyandhealthy.org.uk Messenger NEW - crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 This is good news. The only word of caution is " calling for the EPA to classify fluoride as a human carcinogen " I hope they are aware of the therapeutic differences between " Calcium fluoride " a tissue salt and is essential in the body and " sodium Fluoride " a toxic substance from the Aluminium poduction Process. Flouride is not a toxic substance. I would not like to see Calcium fluoride Banned due such a broad statement for the EPA to classify fluoride as a human carcinogen " Caroline Collard <caroline_rhayader wrote: THOUSANDS OF EPA SCIENTISTS ISSUE WARNING ON FLUORIDE Over 7,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees have called on Congress to pass a moratorium on the use of fluoride in drinking water, citing a series of new studies directly connecting the chemical to cancer.
