A recent analysis of the Canadian food basket indicates that a typical Nort=
h
American diet delivers about 1.8 mg of fluoride per day (Dabeka, 1995). Thi=
s
is nearly twice the amount of fluoride one would receive from drinking one
liter of fluoridated water. Some of this fluoride we can do little about,
but the one source we should not have to contend with is that introduced by
organic farmers. When we pay extra money to avoid pesticides, we don't
expect to get doses of an extremely toxic pesticide! Thus, even though thes=
e
new National Organic Standards permit organic farmers to use bone meal and
sodium fluoride, we urge them not to do so. We also urge them to avoid the
use of powdered phosphate rock. We urge readers to make their voices heard
on this issue. In the future, we will be looking for labels which say
"organic" and "fluoride free".

Subject: [compost_tea] Flouride in water question...
Elaine,
What do you think about Fluoride additions to water? Fluoride certainly ha=
s
a killing effect upon sugar eating bacteria in a person's mouth and when th=
e
bacteria produce their amino acids, the fluoride is released to kill them.
Have you done any tests with fluoridated water vs. unfluoridated water to
see if there's any detectable differences?
I'm also interested in the effect of adding fluoridated water to soils and
what the effect might be over a period of time. Is there a cumulative
effect like heavy metals?
