Water Facts

Prince George city water supply has additives of fluoride & chlorine which pose many health risks.

There is extensive research that points to fluoride having possible long term health risks. Here are a few facts about fluoride that the average person is unaware of:

• fluoride is the active toxin in rat poisons and cockroach powder
• Increased risk of bone cancer and bone fractures
• Increased risk of osteoporosis
• Developmental problems such as lower IQ
• Increased risk of infertility
• In 2006, the American Dental Association warned parents of infants not to use fluoridated water when mixing baby formula
• Fluorosis, a discoloring of your teeth and breakdown of their enamel (between 30% and 50% of children have dental fluorosis on at least two teeth in “optimally fluoridated communities”)
• There is no universally accepted optimal level for daily intake of fluoride
• Fluoride accumulates in your bones & makes them more brittle and prone to fracture. Lifetime exposure to fluoride will contribule to higher rates of hip fractures in the elderly
• Fluoride accumulates in your pineal gland, possibly lowering the production of melatonin, a very important regulatory hormone
• There are serious concerns about a connection between fluoridation and the current epidemics of both arthritis & hypothyroidism
• In animal studies fluoride at 1 ppm in drinking water increases the uptake of aluminum in your brain
• May increase the uptake of lead into children’s blood and may also be associated with an increase in violent behaviour
• Data compiled by the World Health Organization shows no difference in tooth decay in countries that use fluoridated water compared with countries that don’t use fluoridated water

** So not only is fluoride unsafe, it is ineffective as well**

You must filter your tap water with a reverse osmosis filter to remove fluoride, and remember to use this water not only for drinking but also for washing fruits and veggies, making ice cubes and cooking.

Facts about Chlorine which is added to Prince George’s city water supply:

• The chemical element chlorine is a corrosive, poisonous, greenish-yellow gas that has a suffocating odor, the gas is compressed to form a liquid which is then added to drinking water and swimming pools to destroy bacteria.
• Chlorine, which is used to reduce the risk of infectious disease may account for a substantial portion of the cancer risk associated with drinking water.
• Chlorine can react with organic matter in water and form dangerous, carcinogenic Trihalomethanes as a by-product.
• People who drink chlorinated tap water have a greater risk of developing bladder and rectal cancers, it is estimated that over 20,000 new cases each year are associated with chlorine by-products. That is a 21% increase in the risk of contracting bladder cancer and a 38% increase in the risk of rectal cancer.
