AFTER reading the many letters regarding fluoride, I would like to take the opportunity to quote a few facts.
This quote comes from the Minister for Environment of Victoria, October 2000.
This is what is added to Melbourne’s water supply:
Fluoride, 1030 tonnes and because that corrodes the pipes and makes the water acidic, they add:
Lime, 2070 tonnes – this turns the water into a turbid state – it goes dirty so they add:
Alum, 1070 tonnes – this is aluminium sulphate, considered at the moment to be the cause of Alzheimer’s disease, and then they add:
Chlorine, 550 tonnes and:
Sodium hydroxide, a few tonnes.
Are we also to become waste disposal units?
