Town battles water woes, regulations

The town, which is under a consent order with the Virginia Department of Health to reduce fluoride levels, was ready to go to bid on plans to build a new water-treatment plant.

Fluorides being cumulative toxins just like lead have the greatest risk over time as they build up in bone and other body tissue. The 2.4ppm limit was raised to 4.0ppm in 1985 against the 7-2 vote of the expert panel. Somehow their review was rewritten and used by the surgeon general to claim science for safety at the higher level. They had not found science to support the 2.4ppm. The members strongly objected and no dental journal would accept complaint letters making the case the rise to 4.0 ppm was fraud. The EPA headquarters union lead by Robert Carton filed a lawsuit against the EPA management claiming fluoride did not comply with the safe drinking water act and the findings had been altered with the knowledge of EPA management. The most recent review by NRC 2007 also found by 12-0 vote the 4.0 ppm not protective but the EPA has yet to review this advise. Several on the panel that the maximum level will be below the 1.0ppm currently added. In 2005 11 unions of the EPA professional asked for an immediate moratorium of all fluoridation and a MCLG of ZERO just like arsenic and lead. The other big issue is any benefit of fluorides are topical only(surface contact of tooth) and ingestion has no meaningful measurable benefit. The whole thing has been a scam in other words. Hear the EPA experts own words and other researchers in one click videos and what type of damage can be expected at this toxic level. fluoridealert.org Jim Schultz

The town was offered water from the country. Of course the bozos turned that down. Gee, whats wrong with this picture? They should save that 4 million and use it to steal the windsor castle from the rightful owner.
