Fluoride in our water

If for any reason you believe in and want to take fluoride, you can buy fluoride tablets.

In that way you can be sure you are taking the correct dose.

However, as individuals, let us choose for ourselves what we put into our bodies.

Please do not mandate on my behalf.

Fluoride is a byproduct in the production of aluminum, fertilizer and iron ore and can be highly toxic in large doses (and accidents can happen) when you boil water it helps get rid of Chlorine ad other germs.

However, minerals (including fluoride) increase when water is boiled.

Fluoride is a neurotoxin, which in high doses can be harmful.

Excessive exposure can lead to tooth discolouration and bone disorders.

Research and have your say regarding fluoride in our water.
