A man has been found guilty of threatening to put deadly 1080 possum poison into baby formula in shops around NZ. Good work by the law.

You will be shocked to learn that the Department of Conservation have published
that the killing agent in 1080 is fluoride.

Yes, the same fluoride that is in your toothpaste and many water supplies. It is a very effective possum killing poison, they say!

The fluoride in one or two tubes of toothpaste will kill all the possums in a hectare, they claim. Fluoride is listed in your chemist's poison book with cyanide and strychnine, three deadly killers.

NZ Health Department claim fluoride, in water supplies, kills dental caries. I believe, if it is strong enough to kill caries, it is strong enough to hurt babies.

The law is passing sentence on one man for threatening to poison our babies with fluoride. Why is the same law ignoring the continuous poisoning of our babies, with fluoride, by councils all over New Zealand?
