Prevent Mandated Water Fluoridation in NJ, Please Make Three Calls Today!

ATTENTION New Jersey Citizens!

TO PREVENT MANDATED WATER FLUORIDATION IN NEW JERSEY, PLEASE MAKE THREE
CALLS
TODAY!!!!

1. Politely call (email is not as effective) your
NJ Senator today!
_http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/municipalities.asp.Please_
(http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/municipalities.asp.Please)
tell them loud and clear that NJ does NOT want our water fluoridated with
toxic
waste, nor can we afford it.

2. Please contact Asw. Nellie Pou, chair of the Assembly Appropriations
committee, (973) 247-1555, and Chris Christie, our incoming governor,
609-341-3000, and really emphasize that spending billions of dollars to
fund
toxic water fluoridation in our state is not acceptable!

Please note: this mandated water fluoridation bill is being sent to the
general
Senate floor soon. If 21 Senators vote yes, the bill passes; if 21 vote
NO, it
doesn't. Let's all work together to stop this bill, call today!!!!

DETAILS ON THE PROPOSED STATEWIDE FLUORIDATION MANDATE:


On 12/7/09 a group of concerned citizens attended the Senate Health
Committee to
hear and provide testimony regarding the New Jersey Public Water Supply
Fluoridation Act, Senate Bill S2856 , which would mandate state-wide water
"fluoridation."

The North Jersey District Water Supply Commission (NJDWSC) also provided
testimony and presented each Health Committee member with well-documented
facts
on fluoridation, including costs to implement and the chemical compound
that
would be added to the water supply. Details can be found at
_www.NewJerseyWaterEducation.com_
(http://www.newjerseywatereducation.com/) and
_http://www.newjerseywatereducation.com/pdfs/Booklet17.pdf_
(http://www.newjerseywatereducation.com/pdfs/Booklet17.pdf)
. A summary of the testimony is provided as follows.

1. $5.4 Billion Dollars = Mandatory water fluoridation startup capital
cost to
NJ residents!!!

2. $1 Billion Dollars = Every Year for operation, maintenance and safety
related
costs!!!!

3. Citizens of NJ drink less than 1% of the water supply. Most of the
fluoridated water would be used to water lawns, flush toilets, wash
clothing,
and for manufacturing. Billions of dollars would be spent to fluoridate
water
that will never be ingested.

4. Hydrofluosilicic Acid is the water fluoridation product - it is
classified
toxic waste by the EPA and contains lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium etc...

Pharmaceutical grade fluoride is not used!

5. Fluoride is highly corrosive and will have financial impact on
drinking and
sewer pipes.

6. High doses of fluoride can injure susceptible populations of people
such as
kidney disorder patients, diabetics, elderly, infants, and
immunodeficiency
disease patients.

7. Per the CDC, 32% of children in the US are suffering from dental/enamel
fluorosis, a dangerous health condition caused by a child receiving too
much
fluoride during tooth development.
(See _www.NewJerseyWaterEducation.com_
(http://www.newjerseywatereducation.com/) Booklet #17 for photos.)

8. Ingested fluoride has no significant impact in reducing tooth decay.
Fluoride's benefit, if any, is from direct application to the surface of
the
teeth. Thus, using the water system at a cost of multi billion dollars
statewide is unnecessary and does not fulfill the intended goal.

9. The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA - July 2000)
clarified
for every dentist in America that ingestion of fluoride does not provide
any
significant reductions in the incidence of tooth decay.

10. Infants up to 6 months of age are at risk: the American Dental
Association
and American Academy of Pediatrics has warned parents NOT to use
fluoridated tap
water to mix infant formula because of the high occurrence of dental
fluorosis.
Artificially fluoridated water contains 250 times the amount of fluoride
found
in breast milk.


NJ Citizens Please note:

1. Thousands of scientists, dentists, physicians and professionals have
signed
an international statement opposing the dangerous practice of water
fluoridation:
_http://www.fluoridealert.org/statement.august.2007.html_
(http://www.fluoridealert.org/statement.august.2007.html) .
2. According to the EPA, "By recovering byproduct fluosilicic acid from
fertilizer manufacturing, water and air pollution are minimized, and water
utilities have a low-cost source of fluoride available to
them."
(former EPA Deputy Asst. Administrator, Rebecca Hanmer). NJ citizens
should not
have to pay for "fluoridated water" from recycled toxic waste.
3. Fluoride is more toxic than lead and only slightly less poisonous
than
arsenic. _http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/accidents/f-lead.html_
(http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/accidents/f-lead.html)
4. “Fluoride causes more human cancer death and causes it faster than any
other
chemical. …30,000 to 50,000 deaths each year, from various causes, may now
be
attributable to fluoridation.” (Chief Chemist Emeritus, U.S. National
Cancer
Institute)
