DOW Wants To Spray Fluoride On Your Food

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:

THE EPA PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ENDS ON AUGUST 4th. PLEASE SIGN TODAY!!

Thanks for your help with this important issue!!

Please tell your friends!

Wow, that really is disturbing. Straight out of Nazi Germany.

Yes, it is disturbing. But you are wrong when saying "Straight out of Nazi Germany". It comes from USA - a reincarnation of it.

Hitler did it first, did he not? Putting sodium fluoride in the water supply at concentration camps to make the people 'dosile'.. Correct me if im wrong?

I think the idea of adding, for instance, bromium to the coffee for soldiers, is a rather old invention. Fluoride in water is, probably, the same idea, but applied on a large scale.

Here's an interesting article about flouride in 'ancient' times:

USA Today said:

Starting in 1990, Japanese archaeologists have been excavating the Southeast Necropolis of Palmyra and examining remains from the Roman era. Despite Palmyra's prosperity, "skeletal remains uncovered from the underground tombs of Palmyra have been found to retain an arthropathy of the joints, especially in the knee joint, bone fracture, marked bone lipping, spur formation, and eburnation (smoothed bone cavities)," reports the team led by Kiyohide Saito of the Archaeological Institute of Kashihara in the current Journal of Archaeological Science.

Fluoride in small concentrations is thought to deter microbes that cause tooth decay, the reason why about 66% of public water supplies in the United States are now fluoridated, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the Palmyrans' symptoms, along with discolored teeth, point to "fluorosis," a skeletal and enamel-damaging syndrome caused by ingesting too much fluoride over a long time, the researchers note. Looking at two large tombs for example, 25 of 33 individuals (76%) had discolored teeth in one, and 45 out of 65 (69%) had discolored teeth in the other.

Palmyrans drank, and still drink, water from wells tapped from ground water by long tunnels called "qanats" (an excellent Scrabble word). The area's geology and water table has been stable for about 7000 years, meaning water conditions now aren't greatly different from those during Roman times. In a bid to estimate the fluoride burden suffered by the town's ancient inhabitants, the researchers analyzed the water from these wells. Fluoride levels were as high as three parts per million in the water, a level that a National Academy of Sciences report in March warned could lead to fluorosis.

To further check, the archaeologists also ground up seven discolored teeth from tomb inhabitants, and compared them to seven others without discoloration, to reveal their fluoride concentration. In a chemical reaction, fluoride tends to replace some calcium in tooth enamel, making overexposure to fluoride particularly worrisome for children with growing teeth and bones. The ground-up teeth revealed that in the most discolored ones, about 22% of the calcium had been replaced by fluoride. "Thus, it was possible to directly verify that the ancient inhabitants of Palmyra did suffer from fluorosis," they conclude.

Hi,

I am wary of lots of fluoride questions and concerning sulfuryl fluoride, I am real shocked. In 'optimally' fluoridated cities, the fluoride level found in water rarely exceeds 4 ppm.
In Quebec city, it is 1ppm but the maximum the provincial government allows is 0,7ppm. (Oups!)

But take a look at this chart down there. In a fluoride toothpaste, we find about 1000ppm of fluoride. Kids may die just by swallowing too much of their favorite bubblegum flavored toothpaste. Now consider this: in dried eggs, we find as much as 900ppm!! almost the whole of a toothpaste tube, which we all know isn't meant to be swallowed!

This pesticide isn't dropped on food in cultures. It is dropped on food in the process of fumigation in shops where food is stocked, in order to kill germs, bacterias and insects (everything that is alive). This sulfuryl fluoride penetrates and enters in the food itself, it doen't stay on the surface.

It is real scary.

Take a look also at the sources of expose to fluoride, you'll be surprised, you can even find some in cigarette, drinks, beer, wine, baby food, canning, processed food, well almost everything we eat, but most specifically processed food, and not only in the US, WORLDWIDE!:

documents on sulfuryl fluoride
http://www.fluoridealert.org/pesticides/sf.documents.html

And most of all you must check this powerpoint presentation on sulfuryl fluoride new standards at the EAP, for example the new absurdly high level of sulfuryl fluoride permitted in baby food. More babies have caries today, it is due not to the lactose in the milk but to fluoride in baby preparations (to which we add fluoridated water!!).
http://www.fluoridealert.org/conference/2006/sf.ppt


This is the last FAN conference I attended in CAnton, NY, at Saint Lawrence University.
http://www.fluoridealert.org/conference/index.html

Finally, here's an article from Chemical & Engineering news that summaries the new combats against this mas poisoning, but scientifically, to engineers.

This is a lot of reading but you'll see this is worth knowing. Beside these new issues, the combat over water fluoridation is relativised in a larger context of a multitude of different fights over sources of fluoride in our air (near polluting industries we can mesure nearly 90 000ppm of fluor in the air itself, that which stains the glass permanently in american indian ghettos, so people say 'look how much those Indians are filthy'.) in our food and other sources of exposure like anesthesia drugs, Prozac and others.
