TAMPA BAY TIMES WATCH
Tampa Bay Times John Hill purposely leaves these historical background facts out. Where does the fluoride that Mosaic sells to Tampa Water originate? Does it come from a pharmaceutical company and is prescription pure? NO
John Hill's propaganda piece did not mention that at first the fluoride was spewed into the air by the fertilizer industry but because it killed most everything and ruined the environment the government mandated to capture this fluoride in a capture stack and proper disposal in a toxic waste dump. Then the fertilizer companies needed a place to dump their toxic waste fluoride.
So under the pretext and disguise of "it is good for poor kid's teeth" the fertilizer industry then funded many steered studies showing no problems with their (impure) fluoride in the drinking water. Remember when the tobacco companies funded many studies that showed that tobacco did not cause cancer when tobacco caused cancer and they knew it.
John Hill, it is not a coincidence that the fertilizer company Mosaic has a PAC that spread political campaign money all over several counties including Hillsborough then gets three County Commissioners Harry Cohen, Ken Hagan and Chris Boles to vote to keep fluoride in the county's drinking water.
The below photo is the toxic corrossive poison fluoride John Hill the Mosaic Shill is promomoting to keep dumping in the drinking water supply under the guise that it helps poor kids avoid dental cavities. This is just a scam to allow the politically connected Mosaic Nutrition Company to sell their contaminated industrial toxic corrossive fluoride to counties like Hillsborough to dump into the drinking water supply. 3 Hillsborough County Commissioners Cohen, Ken Hagen and Chris Boles voted to keep this poison in the water supply thereby protecting Mosaic's toxic waste fluoride profits over the health of their constituents. ALL THREE COHEN, HAGEN AND BOLES NEED TO BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE NEXT ELECTION.
A tanker truck with a caustic hazardous waste product warning label left over from processing fertilizer at the Mosaic Fertilizer processing plant pulls up to the Tampa Water Department. The tanker truck full of thousands of gallons of a caustic industrial waste product offloads this caustic hazardous waste product into holding tanks at the Tampa Water Department. This caustic hazardous waste product is then dripped into Tampa's Drinking water supply. Mosaic in the past just let this caustic hazardous waste product escape into the atomosphere to get rid of it. The surrounding areas were negatively effected by this caustic waste allowed to escape into the atmosphere and did harm to the plants and animals. So after that it was shown that this waste product was bad for the environment it was then forbidden for the fertilizer companies to discharge this caustic hazardous waste into the atmosphere. The fertilizer companies would then have to pay a lot of money to dispose of this hazardous waste product into a toxic landfill. So then the fertilizer companites came up with a scam that drinking this hazardous waste was good for your teeth so instead of having to pay big money to dispose of this caustic hazardous waste they now make money selling this poison to the Tampa Water Department. The City of Tampa Water Department pays $501.00 per liquid ton of this caustic hazardous waste product and then proceeds to get rid of this caustic hazardous waste product by dripping it into your Tampa Water Supply.
April 8, 2025 Tampa Bay Times John Hill the Mosaic Schill writes another pro-fluoride rant in the Tampa Bay Times:
In John Hill's fluoride propaganda piece he once again ignors reality that the contaminated fluoride is coming from a toxic waste capture stack. John Hill in his article never goes near just how and where the fluoride he is promoting comes from because that would destroy his pro-fluoride rants.
John Hill ignors the fact that the Mosaic fluoride used is full of other nasty unhealty contaminants and is not pharmautucally pure. Keep this in mind, John Hill is for dirty and contaminated MOSAIC FLUORIDE AND NOT FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE FLUORIDE BECAUSE IT REALLY IS NOT ABOUT THE FLUORIDE IT IS ABOUT MOSAIC KEEPING THE MASSIVE MONEY STREAM FOR SELLING WHAT IS A CONTAMINATED INDUSTRIAL WASTE PRODUCT FLUORIDE TO MANY MUNICIPALITIES WHERE OTHERWISE MOSAIC WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO DUMP THIS CORROSIVE FLUoRIDE WASTE PRODUCT INTO A TOXIC WASTE LANDFILL. TAMPA BAY TIMES JOHN HILL THE MOSAIC SHILL IS NOTHING BUT A CHEAP MINION FOR MOSAIC'S CONTAMINATED FLUORIDE.
QUESTIONS FOR JOHN HILL THE SHILL HE LOVES TO IGNORE: Where does the fluoride that you promote come from? It is industrial toxic waste left over from the processing of fertilizer that is captured in a toxic waste capture stack that would otherwise have to go into a toxic waste dump instead of your drinking water.
Why didn't John Hill tell his readers where the fluoride he promotes comes from?
Why didn't John Hill tell his readers that the fluoride contains many nasty contaminants and it not pure?
TAMPA BAY TIMES PROPAGANDIST JOHN HILL THE MOSAIC SHILL IS ALL FOR DUMPING MOSAIC FLUORIDE IN THE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY BUT HE IS NOT FOR THE PHARMAEUTICALLY PURE FLUORIDE BECAUSE IT IS NOT REALLY ABOUT THE FLUORIDE IT IS ABOUT JOHN HILL BUTT KISSING POLITICS OVER THE READERS HEALTH TRYING TO KEEP MOSAIC'S MONEY STREAM CONTINUING FOR SELLING POISON FLUORIDE UNDER THE GUISE THAT IT HELPS POOR KIDS TEETH. HERE JOHN HILL IS TRADING HIS INTEGRITY AND HONESTY IN ON A PAYCHECK.
"This study provides an independent determination of the metal content of raw fluoride products." "Conclusions: Such contaminant content creates a regulatory blind spot that jeopardizes any safe use of fluoride additives."
"This study demonstrates that the metal contaminant content of raw fluoride additives is highly batch-dependent. There was as much as a 10-fold difference between batches in the concentration levels of arsenic, lead, and barium, contaminants classified as a risk to human health by the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations."
"In summary, raw fluoride additives contain significant levels of arsenic, lead, barium, and aluminum not addressed by current regulations with health-based standards."
You will notice on the second bill of lading sheet that the "Dangerous goods" box is checked meaning this product is labeled "Dangerous goods" because the hazardous waster product they are dripping into Tampa's water supply is in fact "dangerous".
This caustic hazardous waste is shipped from Mosiac Crop Nutrition to the Tampa Water Department and dripped into Tampa's water supply on an ongoing basis. So why doesn't Mosiac Crop Nutrition sell it for crop nutrition? Because this hazardous waste product would kill the plants that it was put on. Mosiac can't discharge this hazardous waste into the air any longer by law becasuse of the trememdous negative effects on the surrouding plants and animals. Mosiac would have to pay to dispose of this hazardous waste product into a toxic waste landfill so the scam was invented that this stuff is good for your teeth when you drink the hazardous waste contaminated water. Not only does Mosiac not have to pay to dispose of this hazardous waste in a toxic waste landfill they are now being paid big and ongoing taxpayer dollars to dispose of this hazardous waste into Tampa's water supply.
Notice on the second bill of lading that there is a Hazardous waste code Hazmat STCC 4930026.
"A "hazmat STCC 4930026 corrosive 4" would require a "Corrosive" placard to be displayed on the transport vehicle, as the "4" indicates a Class 4 hazardous material, specifically classified as "Corrosive" according to the DOT hazardous materials regulations."
The tanker truck carrying the hazardous caustic waste product dripped into Tampa's water supply must have warning placards on the truck warning with caution that the hazardous waste liquid in the tanker truck is "corrosive". So who wants to drink Tampa water with a known hazardous caustic corrosive waste product dripped in it that cost you taxpayer money so the fertilizer company can make money on negatively effecting you health?
This caustic waste product being disposed of in Tampa's water supply is expounded upon on this webpage:
[Dan Ruth Tampa Bay Times Shill for Mosiac hazardous waste is good for your teeth]
Dan Ruth wrote a series of columns on fluoridaton of tap water. He is all for fluoridating your tap water. He gives all kinds of reasons to fluoridate the tap water but it is what he does not tell you that you need to know. And when you know it you will wonder why Dan Ruth would push fluoridaton nonsense on the unsuspecting reader. Dan Ruth claims using fluoride industry studies that drinking fluoridated water is good for your teeth and keeps the cavites down. Dan Ruth's premise that adding fluoride to the tap water supply is good for your teeth has no basis in fact. 99% of fluoridated tap water is not used for drinking water, but that 99% not used for drinking water is still fluordated? Why? Because the fluoride put in the water is really not for the health of your teeth it is sneaky way for the fertilizer industry to get rid of a toxic waste product down the drain instead of having to pay to put it in a toxic waste dump. Your fluoridated tap water is their way of getting rid of toxic waste left over from the processing of fertilizer.
"NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The company that gets rid of highly toxic wastes by selling them as a "product" to municipal water departments across the country as cheap fluoridation chemicals has been fined $2 billion for gross violations of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN).
Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC, is one of the largest sellers of a toxic fluoride chemical, "fluorosilicic acid", that cities add to public drinking water. Fluorosilicic acid is described by EPA in the Consent Decrees as a "hazardous waste" produced at Mosaic's fertilizer plants. More than 200 million Americans drink these wastes every day.
For decades Mosaic has been selling fluoridation chemicals to public drinking water systems across the U.S. This Kafkaesque scheme, approved by EPA, benefits the polluter in the belief that it helps the teeth of the poor, according to FAN.
The fine was levied on October 1st by the EPA and U.S. Department of Justice. These wastes are produced at Mosaic's six phosphate fertilizer plants in Florida and two in Louisiana.
"It's outrageous that Mosaic is allowed to sell an EPA 'hazardous waste' to dump into the drinking water used in most major U.S. cities," says FAN scientist Dr. Neil Carman.
Dr. William Hirzy, also with FAN, added, "This loophole needs to be closed by the EPA. It was not addressed in the Consent Decrees which allow Mosaic to continue selling a hazardous waste to the public disguised as a way to boost fluoride in drinking water."
The RCRA laws govern the storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous waste. Mosaic's 60 billion pounds of improperly handled hazardous waste cited by EPA is the largest amount ever covered by a RCRA settlement. Mosaic's wastes have also caused huge local environmental problems, due largely to their high fluoride levels. The fluoride, not captured in pollution control devices and sold for water fluoridation, ends up in their liquid and solid wastes. Other toxic constituents include arsenic, lead, cadmium, uranium and radium. Enormous quantities of these wastes have been stored for years in so-called gypsum stacks. They will never become non-toxic, and these open hazardous waste piles have regularly leaked into rivers and groundwater causing huge fish kills and other problems.

Dan Ruth dare not allow any facts into his pro-fluoride stance as it would destroy his argument and make him look like the fool he is. One main fact destroys Dan Ruth's claim that fluoride in your tap water helps your teeth avoid cavities.
"AN ARTICLE IN JADA (JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION) IN 2001 HAS THE ADMISSION THAT FLUORIDE SWALLOWED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE TEETH IS "INSUFFICIENT TO HAVE A MEASURABLE EFFECT" ON REDUCING CAVITIES." Let's say that again in case dense Dan Ruth did not get it the first time. "AN ARTICLE IN JADA (JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION) IN 2001 HAS THE ADMISSION THAT FLUORIDE SWALLOWED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE TEETH IS "INSUFFICIENT TO HAVE A MEASURABLE EFFECT" ON REDUCING CAVITIES." Dan Ruth a Tampa Bay Times hack is not an authority on swallowed fluoride reducing cavities, but the American Dental Association is THE AUTHORITY on dental care and the American Dental Association IN AN ARTICLE IN JADA (JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION) IN 2001 HAS THE ADMISSION THAT FLUORIDE SWALLOWED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE TEETH IS "INSUFFICIENT TO HAVE A MEASURABLE EFFECT" ON REDUCING CAVITIES. Yet dense hack Dan Ruth claims contrary to the American Dental Association that drinking fluoride does reduce cavities. Who do you believe? Dan Ruth or the American Dental Association? Dan Ruth is full of prunes.
Now what else did Dan Ruth leave out of his pro-fluoride rant? What is fluoride and where do they get the fluoride they put in Tampa's water supply under the guise and pretext that it helps your teeth avoid cavities contrary to the American Dental Association's declaration "THAT FLUORIDE SWALLOWED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE TEETH IS "INSUFFICIENT TO HAVE A MEASURABLE EFFECT" ON REDUCING CAVITIES."
Dan Ruth has a selective memory and leaves out a few things in his pro-fluoride columns that do not flatter his pro-fluoride stance but destroy his argument. Dan Ruth never tells you where does the fluoride that is put in Tampa's water supply come from? The fluoride that is put into Tampa's water supply comes in a tanker truck from Mosiac fertilizer company. The tanker truck has skull and crossbones on it warning of a toxic and highly corrosive product in the tanker. The city of Tampa buys this fluoride that is full of impurities like lead and arsenic among other nasty things for about $501.00 per liquid ton and proceeds to drip this toxic waste contaminated fluoride into Tampa's water supply. The real name is fluorosilicic acid eupemistically called fluoride. Fluorosilic acid is a toxic waste by product from the fertilizer industry. The fertilizer industry used to be able to put this stuff out in the air in the atmosphere until the government stepped in and stopped that because the air pollution fluoroslic acid was corroding the surrounding communities so the fertilizer industry was made to capture this toxic mess before it went into the air. Then the fertilizer industry had to find another place besides the air atmosphere to dump their toxic waste. One of the rubes that pushes that this toxic waste fluoride is good for you teeth is Dan Ruth. So the fertilizer industy needed a new place to dump their toxic corrosive fluorosilic acid waste and get paid for it so then patsy's like Dan Ruth came in an pushed in columns that fluorosilic acid was good for you teeth, but never told you it was toxic waste. Remember Dan Ruth says that tap water adulterated with toxic waste fluoride is good for you and your teeth contrary to common sense, facts and the American Dental Association's declaration that "FLUORIDE SWALLOWED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE TEETH IS "INSUFFICIENT TO HAVE A MEASURABLE EFFECT" ON REDUCING CAVITIES". If fluoridated water is really good for your teeth then why is the toxic waste product fluoride have to be swallowed?
Now if you look at the label on most toothpaste boxes and tubes it says it contains sodium fluoride which is fluorosilic acid the same thing put in Tampa's water supply and has a warning "Poison do not swallow" if swallowed call poison control. The label says don't swallow the sodium fluoride (fluorosilic acid) because it it poison to you but this is the stuff that Dan Ruth says to swallow in your tap water, toxic waste fluorosilic acid.
Dan Ruth is nothing but a usefull idiot for the toxic waste fluorosilic acid industry. Dan Ruth even won a Purlitzer Prize for advocating for toxic waste fluoride be put in your water. But the Purlitzer Prize is a ruse and fake because the Purlitzer Prize is issued by a panel of radical left wing ideologes and the year that Dan Ruth won the prize for touting toxic waste should be put in your water supply his boss at the Tampa Bay Times the incompetent Paul Tash was one of the left wing radical ideologs on the Purlitzer Prize Voting Board. What a suprise, plenty of conflict of interest there that could be a Dan Ruth column on conflicts of interest he turns his blind eye. The Purlitzer Prize is a fake pinko front to try to give credbility where there is no credibility.
Another point to be made about not putting poison toxic waste fluorosilic acid in the water supply is that the Tampa Water Treatment Supply website lists fluoride as a contaminant along with lead and arsenic but turns around and then drips this fertilizer industry toxic waste fluoride into your water supply all the while dupes like Dan Ruth advocate for putting this mess in your water. Dan Ruth is an idiot shill for the toxic waste detrimental to your health put into your drinking water.
[DATA SHEET ON TOXIC FLUOROSILIC ACID - FLUORIDE]
[DATA SHEET ON TOXIC FLUOROSILIC ACID - FLUORIDE]
"The decision is written very strongly in our favor."
"Below is an excerpt from the introduction of the ruling:"
"The issue before this Court is whether the Plaintiffs have established by a preponderance of the evidence that the fluoridation of drinking water at levels typical in the United States poses an unreasonable risk of injury to health of the public within the meaning of Amended TSCA. For the reasons set forth below, the Court so finds. Specifically, the Court finds that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter ("mg/L") - the level presently considered "optimal" in the United States - poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children..the Court finds there is an unreasonable risk of such injury, a risk sufficient to require the EPA to engage with a regulatory response...The thing the EPA cannot do, however, in the face of this Court's finding, is to ignore that risk
A trial was held, the evidence was heard by the Court and the Court determined that fluoridated water poses an unreasonable risk to children. The Court has ruled that the EPA can no longer ignore the fluoride risk, nor can the Tampa Water Department or Dan Ruth Tampa Bay Times shill for promoting fluoride ignore the fluoridated water risk. Furthermore, the ideologically special interest driven Tampa Bay Times Editorial Board recently printed their editorial special interest "opinion" that fluoride in the water is good when it was proven in a Court of law that fluoride is not safe in the drinking water.
NOTICE THAT THE TAMPA BAY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD HAS BEEN RECENTLY PROVEN IN A COURT OF LAW TO BE WRONG ABOUT FLOURIDE. NOTICE THAT THE TAMPA BAY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD NOR DAN RUTH HAVE NOT PRINTED AN EDITORIAL OR ARTICLE ON SAID COURT CASE THAT DESTROYED THE TAMPA BAY TIMES SHILLING FOR THE FERTILIZER INDUSTRY BEING ABLE TO DRIP A KNOWN HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTAMINANT INTO TAMPA'S DRINKING WATER SUPPLY AND GET PAID TAX DOLLARS TO POLLUTE THE DRINKING WATER WITH FLUORIDE. ONCE AGAIN OUR ORGANIZATION CHALLENGES THE TAMPA BAY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD TO PRINT A PHOTO OF THE TANKER TRUCK FROM THE MOSIAC NUTRITION COMPANY FULL OF 44,800 POUNDS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE PRODUCT (22 TONS!) FLUORIDE WITH OTHER NASTY CONTAMINANTS LEFT OVER FROM THE PROCESSING OF FERTILIZER WITH THE CAUTION "CAUSTIC" "CORROSIVE" LABEL ON THE TRUCK WARNING PLACARD. THE TAMPA BAY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD HAS BEEN PROVEN IN A COURT ABSOLUTELY WRONG ON FLUORIDE. THE TAMPA BAY TIMES AND DAN RUTH WRONGLY PUSH FLUORIDE AS GOOD FOR YOUR TEETH BUT THEY WON'T EVER TELL YOU WHERE OR SHOW YOU JUST WHERE THE FLUORIDE COMES FROM THAT IS GOOD FOR YOUR TEETH. THE EDITORIAL BOARD WILL NEVER EVER PRINT A PHOTO OF THE TANKER WITH "CORROSIVE" CAUTION PLACARDS DELIVERING THIS LEFT OVER TOXIC INDUSTRIAL WASTE FLUORIDE BECAUSE UNKNOWING PEOPLE WOULD BE OUTRAGED AND IT WOULD FURTHER SHOW THAT THE EDITORIAL BOARD ARE JUST SHILLS FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS. NO SURPRISE THERE. JUST PAR FOR THE IDEOLOGICALLY POLLUTED TAMPA BAY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD. THIS IS THE ONGOING DECEPTION OF THE TAMPA BAY TIMES THAT IS NOT A NEWPAPER BUT FALSE PROPAGANDA SPEWED FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS.
From this article:
"Claim: The federal government will not vouch for fluoride."
"Fact: The EPA, which is responsible for the safety of the nation's drinking water, sets the standards for fluoride in drinking water. The CDC is unequivocal in its support. "We promote water fluoridation as effective," Bailey said. "We would say absolutely it is safe."
THE EPA WAS RECENTLY TAKEN TO COURT OVER THIS ISSUE. THE EPA LOST BIGTIME. THE COURT RULED THERE WAS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO RIGHTFULLY CONCLUDE THAT FLUORIDATED WATER IS AN "UNREASONABLE RISK"
ONCE AGAIN IN CASE THE PRO-FLUORIDE PROMOTERS MISSED IT:
"The issue before this Court is whether the Plaintiffs have established by a preponderance of the evidence that the fluoridation of drinking water at levels typical in the United States poses an unreasonable risk of injury to health of the public within the meaning of Amended TSCA. For the reasons set forth below, the Court so finds. Specifically, the Court finds that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter ("mg/L") - the level presently considered "optimal" in the United States - poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children..the Court finds there is an unreasonable risk of such injury, a risk sufficient to require the EPA to engage with a regulatory response...The thing the EPA cannot do, however, in the face of this Court's finding, is to ignore that risk."
ANY WONDER WHY THE TAMPA BAY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD DID NOT DO AN ARTICLE ON THIS? BECAUSE IT DESTROYS THEIR SHILLING FOR THE FERTILIZER INDUSTRY TO DUMP A HAZARDOUS WASTE BY PRODUCT INTO YOUR WATER AND TELL YOU IT IS GOOD FOR YOU TEETH. HERE THE TAMPA BAY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD IS PROMOTING FLUORIDE BY FALSE DECEPTION AND THEN SUPPRESSING THE COURT CASE THAT DESTROYS THEIR PRO-FLUORIDE SPECIAL INTERESTS RANTS. AS MARK TWAIN SAID "IF YOU DON'T READ THE NEWSPAPER YOU ARE NOT INFORMED AND IF YOU READ THE NEWSPAPER YOU ARE MISINFORMED."
