The EPA allows more fluoride in water than is considered safe by health experts Recent research on causes of heart disease has revealed a link between fluoride and coronary artery disease. The study, referred to as: Association of vascular fluoride uptake with vascular calcification and coronary artery disease. Researchers examined the arteries of 61 people for signs of calcification – artery hardening due to calcium, and fluoride absorption. Connection between fluoride and heart disease described as “significant” Fluoride was detected in the vascular walls (veins) of 96% of study participants, and calcification was observed in the vascular... read more >>

A Fracked Up Situation If you live near a fracking well, chances are good that your water is fracked If you live near a site where hydraulic fracturing is being used to extract natural gas, your drinking water is likely contaminated with hundreds of chemicals, all of them toxic. When a well is fracked, millions of gallons of fresh water is mixed with a toxic stew of chemicals. The now-toxic water is forced deep underground at high pressure, where it shatters a type of rock formation known as shale. Gas trapped underground can then be captured.           Unfortunately, the contaminated water used for fracking doesn’t... read more >>
