OK. Fluorine compounds are byproducts of the phosphate fertilizer
industry.  Apatite, a calcium mineral found in central Florida, is ground
up and treated with sulfuric acid, producing phosphoric acid and the two
byproducts, calcium sulfate and two gas emissions, hydrofluoric acid and
fluorosilicic acid. These gases are captured by product recovery units
(scrubbers) and condensed into 23% fluorosilicic acid.  Sodium fluoride
and sodium fluorosilicate are made from this acid. The last is the usual
water fluoridation chemical.

Or in plain english, they add acid to the water which eats your brain.
Therefore you should buy bottled water.

Re resp:11: I'm not sure anymore.  They don't own any stations of their
own, but they distribute via satellite and shortwave stations can
broadcast their programs.  The station I used to listen to them on quit
carrying the program I liked, Radio Liberty, so since then I've just
listened on the Internet (via http://www.gcnlive.com/) when I get the
urge to listen to conspiracy kooks talk about the threats to our
Precious Bodily Fluids. :>

#13 is technically incorrect, but still worth a giggle. sodium
fluorosilicate is not an acid (and very little is added to the water - just
ppms). There is no advantage to bottled water, except for those overly
fastidious about the taste of their water.

There's no accounting for fastidious taste...

Rane has me on a technicality: it's not an "acid" but the
"sodium fluorosilicate" that eats your brain.

On the other hand, most people don't use 90% of their brain
but do use their teeth to eat and nourish themselves.

So obviously teeth are more important than brains.


Are you starting to suspect that I've drunken too much tap water?
Then you prove my point!
