Fluoridation questions

My questions regarding fluoridation are: How much will this cost the city/taxpayers? Could that money be used better elsewhere? Since the people have voted down this program 3 other times, why do the city council members continue to push this issue? Does anybody know the difference between fluoride and sodium fluoride? Do they know that sodium fluoride is what is being put into our water? Do they know about the history of water fluoridation, and that it was used by Germany during WWII to control prisoners? Are they aware of the known side effects of sodium fluoride and that it’s a neuro toxin that is one of the main ingredients in rat poison? Why are they so eager to follow this agenda without doing the research? Given the uncertainty behind the science of fluoridation, why should we consider it until the science is settled? Until they can answer these questions with certainty, why is this issue being brought up yet again?

There are reams of evidence and real science stating that adding sodium fluoride to water is far more detrimental long term to our health than the pseudo science behind the alleged benefits. Say NO to sodium fluoride!
