Flouride in the water supply

category galway | environment | other press author Wednesday August 30, 2006 18:09author by gníomhaí Report this post to the editors

How many people think twice about what effect flouride (a toxic by-product of the aluminium industry) is having on their health?

The addition of flouride to our water supply has been linked to, among other things: inhibition of enzyme systems, damage of the immune system, lowering of IQ, cancer, calcification of soft tissues, arthritis and, of course, dental fluorosis in children.

Despite the practice being banned in numerous countries, it is still carried out in the Republic (though not the North) of Ireland.

Do as I have done in Galway; write to your local council and demand that this practice be halted.
