The Flouride Dangers Being Addressed

Fluoride will no longer be added to Del Rio’s drinking water.The Del Rio City Council made that decision Tuesday night after a presentation by John Morony, a retired college biology professor, who characterized fluoride as a poison and showed the council numerous research references that link fluoride to higher rates of cancer and other health hazards.
The paper stated, “Fluoride consumption by human beings increases the general cancer death rate.”Morony noted that although some fluoride occurs naturally in all water, the fluoride being added to the city’s water supply “is a waste product of the phosphate fertilizer industry.”Wrob then asked Lomas to give the council his opinion of adding fluoride to the city’s drinking water, a question Lomas did not answer directly.Mayor Efrain Valdez noted that the city spends about $20,000 a year buying the fluoride to add to the city water.Cole asked Lomas, “How do employees at the water plant feel about handling fluoride?”“It’s a very corrosive chemical. It eats through concrete and metal. When they handle it, they have to wear respirators and chemical-proof suits,” Lomas said.“But how do they feel about handling it?” Cole asked.“They really would rather not handle it,” Lomas replied.
