Fluoridation. What's in It for Us?
In October 1990, a document labeled "For Reference Only - Do Not Send Out" was prepared by Lucier Chemical Industries, Ltd. and sent to the city of St. Petersburg, Florida. LCI purchases fluorosilicic acid (aka hydrofluosilicic acid) from Cargill Fertilizer, Inc. which it sells to St. Petersburg, which pours it into the municipal water supplies.
The confidential memo described the fluoridation agent as a "highly corrosive" solution, "white to straw yellow in color" and containing the following ingredients:
