These ICP-MS results, shown below, were determined with the very same ICP-MS laboratory instrumentation used by the FDA and various universities. Mike Adams, director of the lab and one of the world's leading researchers into heavy metals contamination of foods, conducted the research.
Research summary and results
To conduct the research, Natural News acquired "pure" sodium fluoride from six chemical manufacturers in China who export fluoride for use in municipal water supplies and other industrial applications (such as pesticides).Roughly 500 grams of white crystalline powder was acquired from each of the six companies in China.
From those original samples, approximately 0.5 grams of each sample was carefully weighed in laboratory vials, then digested using high purity "trace grade" acids suitable for ICP-MS analysis.
Following digestion, the samples were normalized using laboratory-grade water (in an acid matrix), then dilution factors were calculated in the ICP-MS control software.
Samples were then run via ICP-MS, following strict quality control procedures including the use of acid blanks, mid-range calibration checks, NIST-traceable standards and verifying the conformity of calibration concentration curves.
The results of the six sodium fluoride samples are shown here in parts per billion (ppb)
MAX aluminum: 283,218 ppb
MAX arsenic: 137 ppb
MAX strontium: 9417 ppb
MAX lead: 988 ppb
MAX uranium: 1415 ppb
MAX tungsten: presence confirmed in 2 of 6 samples but quantitative analysis not conducted on tungsten
AVG aluminum: 69364 ppb
AVG arsenic: 70 ppb
AVG strontium: 1751 ppb
AVG lead: 299 ppb
AVG uranium: 239 ppb
As with everything tested at the Natural News Forensic Food Labs, all samples are held in storage for future validation.
