DOW Wants To Spray

Fluoride On Your Food

From POWA

7-28-6

 

 

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:

Calm down. As a chemist and herb fan, here are some facts. The organo flourides do not release flouride. Assuming you urinate or deficate this pesticide, you will be ok. Your body cannot degrade the pesticide into the flouride ion, the carbon flourine bond is way too strong. So do not worry about flouride poisoning, I promise. On the other hand, your body may process the flouride pesticide by a different route and you will have to worry. But flouride will not be released, but some organo metabolite may!
