and that one-third of all eggs are dried and then added to food products.25 Grains are fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride to kill weevils, and the grain is fed to the chickens. See 2006 NRC Report at 2026. See Wikipedia article on sulfuryl fluoride27. The February 2008 NSF Fact Sheet on Fluoridation Chemicals28says: The NSF Joint Committee ... consists of...product manufacturing representatives. ... Standard 60 ... requires a toxicology review to determine that the product is safe at its maximum use level and to evaluate potential contaminations in the product. ... A toxicology evaluation of test results is required to determine if any contaminant concentrations have the potential to cause adverse human health effects. ... NSF also requires annual testing and toxicol va1zw# n .... The NSF standard requires ... toxicological evaluation. It is hard to prove something does not exist,but there is substantial evidence that there are no toxicological studies. First, there are no toxicological studies of fluoride on the extensive NSF web site at www.NSF.org. Blake Stark is the person at NSF International now in charge of fielding questions regarding Standard 60. Call Blake at 734-769-5480 or email him at Stark@,NSF.org and ask him if there are any toxicological studies. He is an honest guy. He will tell you there are none. See an example of a Blake Stark response to a request for toxicological studies, labeled as Appendix D-67.29 See also a transcript of a California deposition in which another NSF official, Stan Hazen, also admits that suppliers are not required to deliver toxicological studies. See Appendix E from the Port Angeles case.3o Washington law, WAC 246-290-220(3), requires that any treatment chemicals with the exception of commercially retailed hypochlorite compounds such as Clorox, Purex, etc., added to water intended for potable use , • must comply with ANSI/NSF Standard 60. Most states have similar laws, around 43 states. We are coming full circle now. Municipalities rely on the NSF for certification that the fluoride it buys is not harmful. But NSF 60 is a sham law. By law,municipalities must conform to a sham law. 25 http://www.ewg.org/news/public-health-bodies-slam-new-fluoride-tolerance-levels. 26 http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record id=115718spage=24.
