(NaturalNews) Back in October, the Pinellas County, Fla., Commission voted 4 - 3 to stop adding artificial fluoride chemicals to the county's municipal water supply, which serves roughly 700,000 residents ( https://www.naturalnews.com/033801_fluoride_w... ). But now local health officials are suggesting that the county purchase a mobile fluoride van as an alternative, which would drive around town and administer fluoride and other conventional dental services directly to children.Believe it or not, thereports that the Pinellas County Commission will soon vote on whether or not to purchase this mobile fluoride van for $532,339 in taxpayer funds, which is more than twice the $205,000 a year the county has been spending to purchase fluoride chemicals for the water supply. The Commission had asked the county's Health and Human Services department to come up with a new way to use the $205,000 for other dental purposes, and the mobile fluoride van was their proposal."There's no way I'm going to support a $532,000 item," said Commissioner John Morroni, who was one of the members who voted in favor of ending water fluoridation. "You can buy a lot of toothpaste and help the dentists disburse it."Morroni is right, of course -- if the county is persistent in making sure as many children as possible are fluoridated, there are much less expensive ways to distribute it than to purchase a half-million-dollar van. But the van's proponents say it is the "most efficient option" for making sure children do not escape getting their fluoride Never has it been proven that consuming fluoride in any way helps improve teeth, though, despite what health officials claim. And adding fluoride chemicals to water, which is their preferred method, is a very poor method of delivery even if the chemical did help teeth. This is because 99 percent or more of flouride ends up on lawns or flowing down the drain, rather than actually being ingested.There is also no way to regulate the ingestion of the so-called "optimum" level of fluoride because individuals drink varying amounts of fluoridated water , and are also exposed to it in unknown amounts through their skin whenever they wash their hands or take a shower. In other words, water fluoridation is one of the most unscientific, unsubstantiated, and ridiculous "public health" schemes to ever be devised, and it is nothing more than forced medication of the masses.Be sure to check out the laundry list of diseases and health conditions that can develop as a result of fluoride exposure:
