Hydrofluosilicic acid(industrial grade fluoride which most cities use) contains about 40-50 % fluoride the rest is heavy metals, like arsenic, lead, aluminum, chronium and uranium-238.
Anyway I have been lately focusing on Alzheimer's and Fluoride in cites and towns drinking water and a possible link.
As Several double-blind studies have shown that fluoridated water can often cause acute adverse reactions (in addition to the chronic poisoning effects discussed below). Some of the effects seen in double-blind studies include: gastrointestinal symptoms, stomatitis, joint pains, polydipsia, headaches, visual disturbances, muscular weakness, and extreme tiredness. An enlightening review of a book by one famous and well-respected researcher from The Netherlands who found adverse reactions in double-blind experiments can be read here.
A study published in Brain Research shows that rats drinking only 1 part per million fluoride (NaF) in water had histologic lesions in their brain similar to Alzheimer's disease and dementia. In addition, evidence was seen pointing to possible damage to the blood brain barrier from extended fluoride exposure. This study was the third in a series of papers published by Varner et al. Brain Research Vol. 784 No. 12 p 284-298 (1998). Results of this recent study and other studies showing significant dangers from low-level fluoride exposure were presented at a recent scientific symposium.
Sodium fluoride, a hazardous-waste by-product from the manufacture of aluminum and chemical fertilizer is a common ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, anesthetics, hypnotics, psychiatric drugs, and military nerve gas. It's historically been quite expensive to properly dispose of, until some aluminum industries with an overabundance of the stuff sold the public on the terrifically insane but highly profitable idea of buying it at a 20,000% markup, injecting it into our water supplies, and then DRINKING it. Yes, a 20,000% markup: Fluoride-- intended only for human consumption by people under 14 years of age--is injected into our drinking water supply at approx. 1 part-per-million (ppm), but since we only drink 1/2 of one percent of the total water supply, the rest literally goes down the drain as a free hazardous-waste disposal for the chemical industry, where we PAY them so that we can flush their expensive hazardous waste down our toilets
Fluoride is a persistent bioaccumulator, and is entering into human food-and-beverage chains in increasing amounts as most foods contain it also drugs and over the counter items like anti-acid pills, beer and tobacco also . Each day my city of Calgary with a population of almost 1 million peopleeach uses over 600 tonnes of 25% hydrofluosilicic acid every year, for comparison at the same time the Reynolds Aluminium Company in Baie Comeau, Quebec, was only allowed to discharge 36.5 tonnes (100 kg/day) of fluoride into the St. Lawrence river each year under pollution control regulations, your city is probably also dumping tons of Fluoride into your waterways which is damaging to fish and wildlife. Showering with fluoridated water may be worse than drinking it as the body absorbs the fluoride and is not broken down by the kidneys and liver
Hydrofluosilicic acid(industrial grade is usually used) which is used in most cities that add "fluoride" contains only 40-50% fluoride, the rest is heavy metals, like arsenic, lead, aluminum, chronium and uranium-238. Fluoride also increases absorption of aluminum from deodorants, or pots and pans by over 600%, fluoride exposure is linked to cancer, genetic damage, nervous system dysfunction, earlier senality and bone diseases? The aluminum concentration in the brains of Alzheimer's patients is 15 times higher than in healthy individuals. The fluoride/aluminum combination spells disaster for your brain's health! Studies also link fluoride exposure to thyriod diseases and lowered IQ in children and fluorosis which has been found to be as high as 70% with fluorosis, which causes whitening or browning of teeth, molting of teeth which dentists love as they make a huge portion of their revenue from people with fluorosis which of course is found more so in cities with fluordated water. Fluoride is rated more toxic than lead and slightly less toxic than arsenic, great thing to be adding to the water.
Think it is time big corporations stop using our water as a dumping ground for their waste as they are saving millions of dollars over our health and the wildlife, because they would have to send the hydrofluosilicic acid to a waste treatment centre, in sealed trucks with signs of the toxic materials as it more toxic than lead.

P.S throw away your Aluminum pots and pans it have not already.
