- DOW Chemical has been lobbying the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to allow it to spray a new fluoride-based pesticide (sulfuryl
fluoride) on hundreds of foods prepared in the US.
-
- If DOW gets its way, sulfuryl fluoride will become a
major new source of fluoride, making it even more difficult for consumers
to avoid fluoride in their daily lives.
-
- What's worse, the levels of fluoride allowed to be sprayed
on food will be shockingly high: 70 ppm for processed foods, 130 ppm for
wheat products, and 900 ppm for dried eggs!
-
- To voice your concerns about the use of sulfuryl fluoride
on food, please take a few seconds to sign the personalizable ONLINE LETTER
to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, produced by Fluoride Action Network
