AMESBURY, Mass. -- Fluoride is added to the water most of us drink because the government believes it's a safe and inexpensive way to prevent tooth decay.

However, Team 5 Investigates found the Amesbury Water Department pulled fluoride from its system amid concerns about its supply from China.

Default Don't buy Chinese except local delivery

China has almost no quality control.

Chinese food has poisoned and killed our dogs/cats with feed, our children with lead in toys and formula, why would anyone support Chinese anything in our food/drink supply?

I wonder what industrial waste China has used to "enhance" the fluroide ?
They "enhanced" cough syrup with anti-freeze.
They "enhanced" milk and gluten with melamine.
They "enhanced" toys with lead and cadmium.

China doesn't need to go to war to take over the US. They are slowly poisoning us and can just land and walk right in.

Because we sold our souls to China for cheap credit. We're so in debt to China we cannot say "No" anymore.

How's this for variety..a Chinese firm that makes sodium fluoride as well as various forms of arsenic ?
sodium fluoride price, arsenic oxide wholesale, arsenous oxide factory, arsenic company - china yunnan chengjiang heqi fluoride factory

The OP's article states there is some type of non-dissolving leftover and it's produced by a company claiming it's certified when the certifying board says it's not ?

Holy crap..we got cheap bidding for stuff like our water additives going on here ?

The people chose they wanted the cheapest way to get the chemical into the water supply, with money being the main motivator instead of safety. There are certainly other places to buy it that are validated to be safe. You get what you pay for frankly, and skimping that they want the absolute cheapest additive and then complaining about the safety of it is nutters. Fund it enough to do it right.

Keep following Walmart's lessons. Why do people not understand how effed up this is? Keep feeding the beasts that are supplying us with poison. Way to go USA!

I posted this thread yesterday, but no one seemed to think that it was important enough...

Senate bill would penalize China over yuan

Got to love the psych manipulation in this story .... oooh .. there is some foreign substance contaminating the fluoride? THE F'ING FLUORIDE IS POISON ALL BY ITSELF !!

It's an absolute criminal act to put fluoride in our water to begin with ... only the human race seems capable of poisoning itself ...

I read a story recently about a Dentist that gave a mother a small bottle of fluoride drops to add to her child's juice because their water authority was one of the few that did not treat the water with fluoride.

You do not have to be very bright, or an avid researcher to understand the fluoride issue. It's poison. Period. Even tells you not to ingest it on the back label of toothpaste ... an item increasingly more difficult to find without fluoride.

I've even seen "spring water" that had on the front label "with fluoride".

Its totally INSANE.
