Prevent Mandated Water Fluoridation in NJ, Please Make Three Calls Today!

 

ATTENTION New Jersey Citizens!

 

TO PREVENT MANDATED WATER FLUORIDATION IN NEW JERSEY, PLEASE MAKE THREE

CALLS

TODAY!!!!

 

1. Politely call (email is not as effective) your

NJ Senator today!

_http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/municipalities.asp.Please_

(http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/municipalities.asp.Please)

tell them loud and clear that NJ does NOT want our water fluoridated with

toxic

waste, nor can we afford it.

 

2. Please contact Asw. Nellie Pou, chair of the Assembly Appropriations

committee, (973) 247-1555, and Chris Christie, our incoming governor,

609-341-3000, and really emphasize that spending billions of dollars to

fund

toxic water fluoridation in our state is not acceptable!

 

Please note: this mandated water fluoridation bill is being sent to the

general

Senate floor soon. If 21 Senators vote yes, the bill passes; if 21 vote

NO, it

doesn't. Let's all work together to stop this bill, call today!!!!

 

DETAILS ON THE PROPOSED STATEWIDE FLUORIDATION MANDATE:

 

 

On 12/7/09 a group of concerned citizens attended the Senate Health

Committee to

hear and provide testimony regarding the New Jersey Public Water Supply

Fluoridation Act, Senate Bill S2856 , which would mandate state-wide water

" fluoridation. "

 

The North Jersey District Water Supply Commission (NJDWSC) also provided

testimony and presented each Health Committee member with well-documented

facts

on fluoridation, including costs to implement and the chemical compound

that

would be added to the water supply. Details can be found at

_www.NewJerseyWaterEducation.com_

(http://www.newjerseywatereducation.com/) and

_http://www.newjerseywatereducation.com/pdfs/Booklet17.pdf_

(http://www.newjerseywatereducation.com/pdfs/Booklet17.pdf)

. A summary of the testimony is provided as follows.

 

1. $5.4 Billion Dollars = Mandatory water fluoridation startup capital

cost to

NJ residents!!!

 

2. $1 Billion Dollars = Every Year for operation, maintenance and safety

related

costs!!!!

 

3. Citizens of NJ drink less than 1% of the water supply. Most of the

fluoridated water would be used to water lawns, flush toilets, wash

clothing,

and for manufacturing. Billions of dollars would be spent to fluoridate

water

that will never be ingested.

 

4. Hydrofluosilicic Acid is the water fluoridation product - it is

classified

toxic waste by the EPA and contains lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium etc...

 

Pharmaceutical grade fluoride is not used!

 

5. Fluoride is highly corrosive and will have financial impact on

drinking and

sewer pipes.

 

6. High doses of fluoride can injure susceptible populations of people

such as

kidney disorder patients, diabetics, elderly, infants, and

immunodeficiency

disease patients.

 

7. Per the CDC, 32% of children in the US are suffering from dental/enamel

fluorosis, a dangerous health condition caused by a child receiving too

much

fluoride during tooth development.

(See _www.NewJerseyWaterEducation.com_

(http://www.newjerseywatereducation.com/) Booklet #17 for photos.)

 

8. Ingested fluoride has no significant impact in reducing tooth decay.

Fluoride's benefit, if any, is from direct application to the surface of

the

teeth. Thus, using the water system at a cost of multi billion dollars

statewide is unnecessary and does not fulfill the intended goal.

 

9. The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA - July 2000)

clarified

for every dentist in America that ingestion of fluoride does not provide

any

significant reductions in the incidence of tooth decay.

 

10. Infants up to 6 months of age are at risk: the American Dental

Association

and American Academy of Pediatrics has warned parents NOT to use

fluoridated tap

water to mix infant formula because of the high occurrence of dental

fluorosis.

Artificially fluoridated water contains 250 times the amount of fluoride

found

in breast milk.

 

 

NJ Citizens Please note:

 

1. Thousands of scientists, dentists, physicians and professionals have

signed

an international statement opposing the dangerous practice of water

fluoridation:

_http://www.fluoridealert.org/statement.august.2007.html_

(http://www.fluoridealert.org/statement.august.2007.html) .

2. According to the EPA, " By recovering byproduct fluosilicic acid from

fertilizer manufacturing, water and air pollution are minimized, and water

utilities have a low-cost source of fluoride available to

them. "

(former EPA Deputy Asst. Administrator, Rebecca Hanmer). NJ citizens

should not

have to pay for " fluoridated water " from recycled toxic waste.

3. Fluoride is more toxic than lead and only slightly less poisonous

than

arsenic. _http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/accidents/f-lead.html_

(http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/accidents/f-lead.html)

4. “Fluoride causes more human cancer death and causes it faster than any

other

chemical. …30,000 to 50,000 deaths each year, from various causes, may now

be

attributable to fluoridation.†(Chief Chemist Emeritus, U.S. National

Cancer

Institute)
