Fluoride Action Network

[Guest guest]

This site has a huge database of studies. Most people are being

poisoned by toxins from thousands of sources. They are suffering

from toxic poisoning from their air, waters, foods,

contaminated earth, their allopathic medicines, their household products, etc.

and the " government and medical authorities " claim that it is good for

you. All that you have to do is follow their dictum of " trust us, we

are the experts " . On top of that you almost always pay directly or indirectly

for that priviledge of being poisoned (you didn't think that they were going to

poison you for free, did you?). For toxic exposures on a long standing and on a

wide scale based on misinformation Floride is a biggie. (Misinformation: when

our kids or one of our aquaintances does that we call it lying, when government

or industry does it, the strongest terms that I hear is misinformation, go

figure)

Fluoride Action Network (FAN) is an international coalition working to

end the fluoridation of public drinking water and to minimize exposure

to fluoride.

 

FAN's Pesticide Project began in June 2001. This is the only on-line

database dedicated to fluorine and organofluorine pesticides.

Fluorine and Organofluorine Pesticides

Inorganic Fluorine Pesticides:

The concern centers on the fluoride ion's toxicity, persistence, and

bioaccumulation in humans, wildlife, and soil. The main pesticides are:

 

• Cryolite: (sodium aluminum fluoride) - mainly used on grapes,

fruits, and potatoes. EPA allows fluoride tolerances of 7 ppm, except

for kiwifruit, which has a residue tolerance of 15 ppm.

• Sulfuryl fluoride - The most immediate and important pesticide issue

is Sulfuryl fluoride. In the Jan 23, 2004, Federal Register, US EPA

announced its Final Rule for the first-time use of Sulfuryl fluoride

as a fumigant on over 40 foods (nuts, dried fruit, rice, wheat,

barlet, etc.). On March 22, 2004, FAN and Beyond Pesticides, formally

challenged US EPA's approval of Sulfuryl fluoride for use as a

fumigant on a wide variety of foods. See press release.

• Sodium fluoride. It's main known use is in wood preservatives.

However, sodium fluoride is designated as a " List 4 Inert " by US EPA

and is approved for use in pesticidal formulations. US EPA treats

" Inerts " as confidential proprietary information which means the

public is denied the right to know which pesticides contain them, or

on what crops they are used. " List 4 Inerts " are approved for use in

the US National Organic Program administered by the US Department of

Agriculture (USDA). In 2000, approximately 125 individuals contacted

USDA requesting that the use of sodium fluoride be denied in organic

agriculture - all to no avail. Because fluoride accumulates in the

human body, the public has a right to know all exposure sources.

Organofluorine Pesticides: (Organic / Fluorinated)

When a carbon atom is covalently bonded to a fluorine atom. The

toxicity of the organofluorine compound is not due to the release of a

free fluoride ion, but to the particular molecular structure of the

compound.
