Truthorconsequences

1.  There is no medication involved in water fluoridation.  There are simply fluoride ions, identical to those which have always existed in water.  No court of last resort has ever upheld the "forced medication" nonsense of antifluoridationists.

2. The substance most widely utilized to fluoridate water systems is hydrofluorosilic acid (HFA).  HFA is a co-product of the process which extracts the other co-product, phosphoric acid, from naturally occurring  phosphorite rock.  Once introduced into water, HFA immediately and completely hydrolyses into fluoride ions and trace contaminants in minuscule levels far below the maximum allowable.  Ater this point, HFA no longer exists.  It does not reach the tap.  It is not ingested.  Is therefore of no concern, whatsoever.
