Comments

Fluoride is a toxic poison that shouldn't be in drinking water and it effects the penial gland.John Hieatt (Whangarei, 2023-08-31)
#2
I do not want this chemical in my drinking water. It is expensive to remove the flouride from my water once it is in the water supply. I am concerned about adverse health risks as a result of water fluoridation.There are documented studies of harm from water fluoridation. Also there are studies indicating no benefit of this process in preventing cavities in developing teeth which is the main cited purpose for introducing water fluoridation.

This has been an ongoing debate for years.It is time the truth was told about what fluoride is actually made up of and how dangerous it is for the human body.

We are particularly concerned about fluoride's ability to cause brain damage. For instance, the US Government’s National Toxicological Program (NTP), (2023), reported that 52 of 55 studies found lower IQ with higher fluoride exposures and of the 19 studies rated higher quality, 18 found a lowering of IQ. The NTP found fluoride is neurotoxic to humans and the authors could not find a dose where fluoride does not cause neurological harm, [1].We also oppose water fluoridation on the grounds that toxins will be released into our environment. According to Radio NZ, [2], the type of fluoride proposed to be added to our drinking water is not naturally occurring calcium fluoride, nor is it pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride, but rather it is a waste product of the phosphate fertiliser industry called hydrofluorosilicic acid, [3]. As this dangerous waste cannot be legally dumped onto the land, into the sea or rivers by law, as it is so toxic, it is instead sold to local councils to drip feed through water supplies, providing a dilution solution to their pollution. However, ultimately, a number of toxins from the fertilizer industry will end up polluting our local environment.

It is not proven that taking flouride internally helps with your teeth, yet there is much proof that it is toxic, and you can’t control people’s dose if it’s in the water?? There is no benefit, only a high risk of harm. How much was the bureaucratic fool who agreed to this paid?Simone Varney (Whangarei, 2023-09-07)

It's time to put a stop to this "health" nonsense. It's not healthy at all. It's toxic. And, there's far too many people with various brain disorders in this world to prove it.Evelyn Craig (Matakohe, Northland, 2023-09-08)

People should be able to choose whether or not to ingest fluoride -- there are many health reasons to NOT ingest it. If it ends up in the water supply, we all ingest it.Joanne Sharp (Whangarei, 2023-09-08)
#71
Fluoride is a bio-chemical waste product and is extremely dangerous to our health. If people want fluoridation then fluoride capsules should be made available for free. This should not be forced onto the populaceEsme Shoemark (Whangarei, 2023-09-08)
#72
I believe fluoride is a poison and detrimental to our health and intelligence, it is not making any difference in the health of children’s teeth . This can be proven in cities that have it and cities that don’t, there are many other factors that contribute to children having poor dental health and I believe those issues need to be addressed rather than adding fluoride to our water.Darlene Kask (Whangarei, 2023-09-08)

Fluoride is a toxin to the body with a plethora of scientific evidence that supports the reasons why it should not be a FORCED MEDICAL TREATMENT. I do not concern to it being added to the Whangarei water supply.Kim Hensley (Whangarei, 2023-09-09)

As a Resident of Kerikeri and Ratepayer to Far North District Council, I am signing this petition, firstly to support friends and Family of mine that are living in the Whangarei District, Secondly, my Partner and have recently moved from Whangarei District, and may,, at some time in near future wish to move back, into the district of Whangarei.My Partner and I are not young any more and we need to take care of our health.
We don't WANT this toxic chemical waste dumped in ANYONES DRINKING WATER SUPPLY let alone our own one day!!!
This type of fluoride is NOT for teeth. It is a TOXIC CHEMICAL that has been identified on the Safety Data Sheet as a HYDROFLUOROSILICIC ACID, and having a Hazards identification as 'Dangerous Goods' according to NZS 5433 2007 Transport of Dangerous Goods on Land, and classified as 'Hazardous', according to criteria on HS Regulations 2001.
Do you think we all WANT this stuff put into our drinking water, AND without our CONSENT!!!
There is so much to tell you about this filthy substance.
I am also speaking for those who do not have the knowledge and those who do not have a voice.

If I wanted to take fluoride I can choose take it as an individual.Adding it to a water supply is an ineffective delivery method and poor use of either rates or tax payers money. A large amount of that water is not consumed by mouth, it flushes toilets, is used for washing, goes down the drain. I fundamentally believe it should be a choice rather than addition to our water supply.
Ali Grant (Whangarei, 2023-09-10)

#94
Fluoride is a toxic industrial waste product.Adding a known poison to a public water supply
for "mass medication" is a crime which contravenes the Geneva Code. When Hamilton City Counsel ceased fluoridation, they were faced with the very high costs of the safe disposal of their purchased fluoride as toxic waste.

it is obvious that fluoride is poisonous to the human body and the real cause of poor dental health is the rubbish fast food high sugary diet and soft/energy drinks being pushed on tv ads relentlessly.... this is just more lies from the NUMBER 3 CAUSE OF DEATH ON THE PLANET....

I do not want to be poisoned by this product against my will thankyou. By putting it in our water, it is forced medication which is a crime.

I'm signing because I object to being forced to consume poison. Even if it was safe, this decision should be made by way of a referendum, rather than being decided by a small group of people who believe they "know" what is best for the rest of us.Toyne Harris (Whangarei NZ, 2023-09-21)

Putting any chemicals other than nessary for purification is not right, the fluoride if it's actually good for teeth to be distributed this way if it was not so serious is a joke.the percentage of target compared to the waist doesn't make any sense.most fluoride is flushed, hosed,and otherwise not come in contact with teeth.Rex Thomson (Whangarei, 2023-09-30)

Fluoride causes damage to the brain and Pineal gland. It was used to oacify POW’s in Concentration camps and us not fit for other than to poison the water, and the citizens, especially the children.Keren McIntosh (Whangarei, 2023-09-30)
#161
It’s ludicrous to even think that adding a waste product of the phosphate fertiliser industry - that cannot be legally dumped onto the land, into the sea or rivers by law, as it is so toxic - is ok to add to our drinking water! It’s criminal.Shannon Douglas (Whangarei, 2023-10-04)

fluoridation should be an option for people, not mandatory. Stop selling coke more cheaply than milk, and you might see an improvement in dental health.

Fluoride is not healthy with long term consumption. It should not be compulsory.Jeannet Penney (Whangarei, 2024-05-30)
#174
Fluoride is one of the most toxic substances known, and has no place in the bodies of any living being - least of all in our babies and pregnant women!It not only reduces IQ, but is an endocrine disruptor and causes thyroid disease. It also causes fluorosis of the bones and teeth and promotes bone cancer, particularly in young boys.
Drinking it does not improve teeth, either. So NOT safe and NOT effective!
Donna Peters (Otaki, 2024-06-12)
