naturally occurring fluoride

[Guest guest]

This is from the Fluoride Action Network:

High levels of naturally occurring fluoride causes a crippling bone disease

known as skeletal fluorosis. Skeletal fluorosis, in its extreme form,

currently affects millions of people living in India, China, and other

poorer countries where nutritional deficiencies (e.g. lack of calcium)

exacerbate fluoride's toxic effects.

 

and from Dr. Mercola's site:

Sodium fluosilicate was identified as being a natural constituent of

so-called " mineral waters " in 1906. It has also been identified as the

source of the " naturally occurring fluoride " available in many of the

communities which do not " adjust " their water to 1 ppm of fluoride. However,

being " natural " does not mean free of toxic effects. Much natural

fluoridated water also carries radionuclides. There is substantial evidence

that chronic ingestion of " natural " fluoride may be as harmful as chronic

ingestion of the industrial by-product silicofluorides used to adjust

potable water to 1 ppm of fluoride.

 

Trinity Springs has 4ppm, btw.

 

Oh, and sorry I didn't trim last post. Yeeps!
