Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. It is one of the most poisonous substances on Earth. No adult has ever walked out of their doctor’s office with a prescriptlion for the fluoride drug because the body has no known use for it. The industrial toxic waste fluoride used (Hexafluorosilicic acid) cures nothing and heals nothing and has never been tested or approved by FDA (in the USA) as safe and effective for human ingestion. This chemical will burn through concrete, and if a worker put his hand in it, he would quicky die.
The company CEO would be arrested immediately if they dumped their toxic waste fluoride into a river. The only way they can do it legally is to run it through the community drinking water system first. It is an absolute insane condition.
Jwillie you are a civil engineer, but I am not sure you have actually worked a day in your prefessional life a water plant to know that not a single chemical used in the process of making water potable needs to be approved by FDA in the USA. The claim that someone can die from dermal exposure to fluorosilicic acid is a lie. There are far more dangerous chemicals used in a water plant like Chlorine gas that if released are poisonus by inhlatation.
