Potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride are controlled because they can be used to make chemical weapons.
These chemicals were added to the Department's control list in March 1991, but ALCOA's export compliance program failed to recognize and incorporate the change.
There was no indication that in this case the chemicals were used for weapons purposes.

Please, do go read there, and way down at the bottom, get an education on TEFLON as well.
TEFLON, ANOTHER POISON!
Fluoride Chemicals (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. out of China:
There are 2550 sodium fluoride from at least 257 suppliers on Alibaba.com. America knowingly and happily buys cheap fluoride from China every day.

"U.S. EPA today proposed to start gradually banning a pesticide often
used on cocoa beans and dried fruits that degrades to fluoride, a move closely linked to the Obama administration's decision last week
to curb the maximum levels of fluoride in drinking water out of concern
for children's health. This week's twin fluoride restrictions reflect "a growing consensus that
Americans are exposed to too much fluoride," EWG senior vice president
for research, Jane Houlihan, said today.
"It raises the concern that,
for many decades now, the public has been overexposed."
REALLY?
WE KNEW THAT BEFORE IT WAS ADDED TO DRINKING WATER!
IT'S AN INDUSTRIAL WASTE PRODUCT, BASICALLY, RIGHT?
Here's the TRUTH, so help me, and this TRUTH has LONG been known by the fluoride PUSHERS in America!
<<The type [OF FLUORIDE] that has been promoted by dentistry and added to our water and
food supply beginning in the 1940s certainly is [DANGEROUS]. Calcium fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral, while its synthetic counterpart, sodium fluoride (silicofluoride), is an industrial-grade hazardous waste material made during the production of fertilizer.
Its past history includes patented use as RAT POISON and insecticide.
There are many blind- and double-blind studies that show sodium fluoride has a cumulative effect on the human body leading to allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, bone weakening, cancer, and neurological problems, while actually damaging tooth enamel.>>
~Renal fluoride toxicity in human beings? YES!
~Frequent urticaria? STOP USING FLUORIDE TOOTHPASTE, see if that doesn't help!
~Does fluoride exacerbate illnesses with an allergic component like eczema and asthma?
YES! PROVEN!
These are just a very FEW of a number of mechanisms whereby adverse reactions to fluoride occur!
Some have proven FATAL!
Please be aware that:
1) Ingested fluoride damages gastroduodenal mucosa.
2) Gastrointestinal discomfort can be an early warning sign of fluorosis.
3) Fluoride toxicity should be considered a possible reason for non-ulcer dyspepsia, especially in fluorosis endemic areas.
4) Gastrointestinal discomfort during sodium fluoride therapy calls for extreme caution and close monitoring.
5) Gastrointestinal discomfort in the form of dyspeptic symptoms should be an important diagnostic feature when identifying fluorosis patients and should not be dismissed as non-specific.

The above is one of the best-documented sites on the effects of fluoride.
Please get informed.
<<The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) called the phophate industry a “pandora’s box.” While the industry brought wealth to rural communities, it also brought ecological devastation. The CBC described the effects of one particular phosphate plant in Dunville, Ontario:
“Farmers noticed it first… Something mysterious
burned the peppers, burned the fruit, dwarfed and shriveled the grains,
damaged everything that grew.
Something in the air destroyed the crops. Anyone could see it…
They noticed it first in 1961.
Again in ’62.
Worse each year.
Plants that didn’t burn, were dwarfed.
Grain yields cut in half…
Finally, a greater disaster revealed the source of the trouble.
A plume from a silver stack, once the symbol of Dunville’s progress, spreading for miles around poison – fluorine.
It was identified by veterinarians.
There was no doubt.
What happened to the cattle was unmistakable, and it broke the farmer’s hearts. Fluorosis – swollen joints, falling teeth, pain until cattle lie down and die.
Hundreds of them.
The cause – fluorine poisoning from the air.”
in Polk County, Florida, the creation of multiple phosphate plants in the 1940s caused damage to nearly 25,000 acres of citrus groves and “mass fluoride poisoning” of cattle.
It is estimated that, as a result of fluoride contamination, “the cattle population of Polk County dropped 30,000 head” between 1953 and 1960, and “an estimated 150,000 acres of cattle land were abandoned” (Linton 1970).
According to the former president of the Polk County Cattlemen’s Association:
“Around 1953 we noticed a change in our cattle. They failed to fleshen as they normally did.
We put them in our best pastures and used all known methods to fatten.
Worming, mineral drenches, changing pastures did not improve the condition.
We watched our cattle become gaunt and starved, their legs became deformed; they lost their teeth.
Reproduction fell off and when a cow did have a calf, it was also affected by this malady or was a stillborn.”
The same thing has happened all over the world...all over the entire world ,when animals are exposed to fluorides!
HOW MANY TYPES OF FLUORIDE ARE THERE?
When the element of fluoride is combined with something else (LIKE WATER???) , it becomes a fluoride compound.
There is a vast range of fluorine-containing compounds because fluorine has the capability of forming compounds with nearly all the elements.
Here are some common forms:

Sodium Fluoride is used in most toothpastes, mouthwashes, dental varnish, dental preparations and nutritional supplements.
This same form of fluoride is used as an insecticide and pesticide, as a preservative in glues, as a growth inhibitor for bacteria, fungi and mold.
Sodium fluoride is also used in making steel and aluminum products.
Added to molten metal, sodium fluoride creates a more uniform metal.
Other industrial uses for sodium fluoride include glass frosting and wood preservatives.
Sodium Fluoride is also used in the manufacture of chemical and biological weapons.
Although this form of fluoride CAN be used for water fluoridation, the next two forms listed are almost always used due to cost.
~ Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) is a compound of calcium and fluorine which occurs naturally as the mineral fluorite – also called fluorspar.
Most of the world’s fluorine comes from calcium fluoride.
Fluorides in general are toxic to humans, however CaF2 is considered the least toxic, and even relatively harmless due to its extreme insolubility.
Moreover, calcium is a well-known antidote for fluoride poisoning.
When an antidote exists in combination with a poison, it makes the poison far less toxic to the body.
Calcium fluoride is the form of fluoride commonly found in natural, untreated waters.
~ Cryolite or Sodium Aluminum Fluoride is commonly used for aluminum smelting, though is also a pesticide often applied directly to field crops, resulting in permitted fluoride residues in and on fresh fruits and vegetables.
~ Fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) is commonly used for water fluoridation.
This form of fluoride is a toxic liquid by-product, acquired by scrubbing the chimney stacks of phosphate fertilizer manufacture.
Other names for it are hexafluorosilicic, hexafluosilicic, hydrofluosilicic, and silicofluoric acid.
The CDC approximates that 95% of our water is fluoridated with fluorosilicic acid. (http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/fact_sheets/engineering/wfadditives.htm#1)
~ Sodium Fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) is primarily added to public drinking water as a fluoridation agent.
This same compound is also used as an insecticide and a wood preservative.
It is a classified hazardous waste by-product of phosphate fertilizer manufacture which, if not put into our drinking water, must be disposed of at hazardous waste facilities.
Other names for it are Sodium Fluosilicate and Sodium Silica Fluoride.
~ Stannous Fluoride is the popular name given to Tin (II) fluoride.
Stannous fluoride is an additive to many toothpastes because it does not become biologically inactive in the presence of calcium, as sodium fluoride does.
~ Sulfuryl Fluoride is applied as a gas fumigant to kill insects and rodents.
Using sulfuryl fluoride around food products was not allowed due to its toxicity.
In 2004 the EPA reversed this policy (following long lobbying efforts by the manufacturer) and allowed its use on food.
This opened the doors for food processing companies nationwide to fumigate their facilities with sulfuryl fluoride, leaving high levels of fluoride in and on foods and even food packaging.
It has become acceptable for sulfuryl fluoride fumigations to produce fluoride residues of 70 ppm “in or on” processed foods and 130 ppm “in or on” wheat.
There have been no labeling requirements for foods treated with sulfuryl fluoride, meaning that consumers have had no way of knowing which foods are treated.
“The U.S. demand for fluorine, which was 400,000 tons, is expected to jump 25 percent by next year… Even though 600,000 tons of fluorine are contained in the 20 million tons of phosphate rock mined in Florida, the fluorine market has been inaccessible because the fluorine is tied up with silica, a hard, glassy material.”
"'TIED UP WITH SILICA...'"
SILICA IS ONE CAUSE OF ONE OF THE MOST AGGRESSIVE, FATAL CANCERS KNOWN...MESOTHELIOMA!
There has been a quite remarkable concession from the EPA, that despite 50 years of water fluoridation, the EPA has NO chronic health studies on silicofluorides.
All safety studies on fluoride to date have been conducted using pharmaceutical-grade sodium fluoride, not industrial-grade silicofluorides.
Health Canada's Drugs Directorate warning --
"should NOT be given to infants under 6 months of age and NOT consumed in areas with fluoridated water supplies" -- is woefully inadequate, as is our own here in America.
The following information (not exhaustive) has appeared in various pharmaceutical books and is consistent with the medical research on sodium fluoride (NaF) (including blind and double-blind studies and/or clinical evidence):
Those indicating need for medical attention [United States Pharmacopoeia, 1986]
- Skin rash (allergic reaction)
- Sores in the mouth and on the lips (mucous membrane ulceration)
- Constipation or
- Loss of appetite or
- Nausea or vomiting or
- Pain and aching of bones or
- Stiffness or
- Weight loss or
- White, brown, or black discoloration of teeth (fluorosis, osteosclerosis)
Canadian Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties, 1989:
Should not be administered to infants and children using other fluoride-containing drugs, or to patients with frank dental fluorosis
[emphasis mine]
- Ingestion of fluorides may cause eczema, atopic dermatitis and urticaria
- Reports include skin rash, gastrointestinal upsets and headache. These usually disappear when administration is discontinued
- Chronic toxicity of fluoride is manifest in mottling of the dental enamel (dental fluorosis) and may result in increased density of bone
- Poly-Vi-Flor {similar to Tri-Vi-Fluor} vitamin and fluoride supplement]:
This drug should be used cautiously by those with heart disease, kidney disease, bone disease, or thyroid disease
AFTER READING THE STUDIES, YOU DECIDE...BUT I HOPE YOUR CHILDREN ALSO GET A CHOICE!
IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT FLUORIDE CAN BE LINKED TO ADHD, TO AUTISM, TO MANY NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS ALIKE.
IS IT WORTH IT TO RISK ALL THIS FOR SOMETHING THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF IS NOW TRYING TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION OF?
NOT FOR ME!
WE ALL GET JUST ONE BODY AND ONE LIFE, FELLOW HUMANS.
WE MUST TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE HAVE.
AND MAY WE ALL TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.
