Fluoride...Food Additive?

[Guest guest]

VERY IMPORTANT ACTION ALERT: Say No to Fluoride Pesticides on Food!

 

Dear POWA Petition Signers,

 

DOW Chemical has been lobbying the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) to

allow it to spray a new fluoride-based pesticide (sulfuryl fluoride)

on

hundreds of foods prepared in the US.

 

If DOW gets its way, sulfuryl fluoride will become a major new source

of

fluoride, making it even more difficult for consumers to avoid

fluoride in

their daily lives.

 

What's worse, the levels of fluoride allowed to be sprayed on food

will be

shockingly high: 70 ppm for processed foods, 130 ppm for wheat

products, and

900 ppm for dried eggs!

 

To voice your concerns about the use of sulfuryl fluoride on food,

please

take a few seconds to sign the personalizable ONLINE LETTER to EPA

Administrator Stephen Johnson, produced by Fluoride Action Network

(FAN) at:

<http://actionstudio.org/?go=2367>

 

If you wish to submit letters on your own, you can find instructions

at the

Organic Consumers Association (OCA) link:
