Show June 30, 1972 Fluoridation Opposed Continued from Page 4 Fluorine as follows: Peaches up to 5 ppm; apples up to 4 ppm; carrots up to 5 ppm; spinach as much as 21 ppm; milk up to 2.3 ppm; and celery leaves up to 135 ppm. Another way in which we absorb fluorides is through our lungs by way of fluoride-pollute- d air. Automobile exhaust contains hydrogen fluoride, and many facories belch tons of fluorides into the air through their smokestacks (e.g. aluminum and steel mills, phosphate and fertilizer plants, smelters, etc.). In European countries fluoride is now being recognized as the No. 1 air much more contaminant damaging than sulfur dioxide (which in the past had occupied first place). When we brush our teeth with fluoridated tooth paste we may not rinse our mouths thoroughly after brushing and swallow some fluoride residue. will all contain fluoride. Maricr and Rose of the National Research Council of Canada, have shown that processing of foods . increases their fluoride content by as much as 5 times which together with the fluoride intake from drinking water adds up to an estimated total daily intake per person of between 2 to 5 mg. of fluoride. This level of fluoride intake is recognized as toxic even by the most ardent of fluoridationists. In his newscast of October 1, drinking water is most wasteful and expensive, since 99.5 of the drinking water is used for domestic and industrial purposes. fluoride purchases to put into the water supply is wasted. In addition, of the 0.5 1970, Lowell Thomas announced that: Scientists at the University of Barcelona in Spain undertaking to determine the cause of death in a million year old Java man . . . their conclusions: The Java man said to be an apparent victim of fluorine poisoning. A million years have passed, and fluorine is still not recognized as the deadly poison that it is. In fact, it is being have legislated into millions of fluoride in their charge which luckless people who are contaminates the air we breathe misinformed and lulled into when we use a deodorant spray legislating poisonous fluorides or hair spray, etc. Teflon, the into the people, every effort Aerosol spray cans widely used coating of should be made by our cookware, consists of a fluoride government and health officials which when overheated is to remove this toxic pollutant released into the food creating from our air, food, and water. It is inconceivable that a toxic an additional source of unmeasurable ingested fluoride. prescription drug listed as a A widely used surgical dangerous anesthetic (Penthrane) contains fluoride which was responsible for at least two reported deaths. cumulative protoplasmic poison could be taken by every citizen from the cradle to the grave, sick or well, young or old, and the same dose given to a baby and a To further compound the contamination: In fluoridated d man without areas the processed foods, soft drinks, beer, and fruit punches somebody being harmed! In addition, fluoridation of to which water has been added six-pou- So 99.5 of the which a community nd 250-poun- of the fluoride that is actually consumed by people, in the drinking water, only 8 of that amount reaches the children for whom it is young intended (i.e., those in the calcification stage of tooth development). For all the rest of the population (92) it is of and absolutely no benefit would be harmful ultimately, since 40 of the fluoride ingested daily remains in the body and gradually accumulates until a toxic level is reached. This 'fact was reported by Herta Spencer, M.D., and at the Metabolic Section of the V.A. Hospital in Hines, Illinois ( Federation Proceedings, 20 (2), co-work- ers Abstracts, 1440, March-Apri- l, 1970). An alternative to water fluoridation, which is far more desirable and acceptable than water fluoridation, is to subsidize local school districts to add sodium fluoride to the milk in the elementary schools from kindergarten through the third grade. The fluoridation of milk in the elementary schools has the following advantages: 1. It would be consumed for only those few years of a childs life when it is most beneficial. 2. Only those children whose teeth are in the formative stage of tooth development would receive the fluoride. 3. It would be administered in the presence of large quantities which enhances its of calcium The UTAH INDEPENDENT safety to the health. 4. A more carefully controlled and accurate daily dosage can be adminstered. 5. There probably would be no appreciable danger to the health since the fluoride would be ingested for only the few formative years rather than for a lifetime. 6. There would be no Fergusons Opponents Getting Frantic? Opponents to Joe H. United candidate for Ferguson, States Congress, must be getting frantic. Shortly before the Davis County Republican Convention, mysterious phone calls were made to Republican delegates telling them to be aware of a unfluoridated milk instead. 8. There would be no expense to the municipality at all since the Federal Government would subsidize it. 9. The constitutional right of freedom of choice on the part of the individual would not be usurped since parents will have the right to choose whether or not their children will drink fluoridated milk. 10. It would not add to the contamination of all of our foods processed with water nor disruption planned at the fluoride could receive create any greater general pollution of our environment. I contend that fluoridation of drinking water is not in the best interest of the majority ; it is not the best nor most sensible method of administering fluoride; that it arouses much opposition; and that it is harmful to many and of no benefit to the great majority.

Any children allergic to the 8000000000000000 Two State Fishing Records, Homemade Pie, and Special Life Jackets for CFR Members $60.00 convention by the members of the John Birch Society. The following day, the Ogden Standard Examiner reported that Rumors of a threatened disruption by John Birch Society members was the only distraction of the meeting, but the disruption failed to materialize. The catch to the whole thing is that practically none of the members of the John Birch Society knew of the threatened disruption until they read of it in the newspaper. It seems that Fergusons opposition may be fabricating rumors and then leaking them to the press. When contacted to comment on the incident, Ferguson said, We have put together a well organized, dedicated, and loyal group of solid Americans to work on our campaign team and have made a better showing in practically all of the county conventions than has the Wolthuis crowd. It seems that Wolthuis has very few people working for him except for the staff of Senator Wallace Bennett. We have no way of knowing, of course, the source of the telephone calls or the leak of this rumor to the press. But it does seem that our opposition is getting frantic.
