Besides shock and fright, environmental stress definitely affects dairy
herd milk production.  I fully expect that as more and more cities are
fluoridated and total human consumption of fluoride increases due to
produce grown with fungicides and pesticides such a cryolite, our food
supply will be more and more contaminated.  If a cow's milk production
is affected, wouldn't human milk production be affected also?  See
citations below.

Dairy Farmers Make Strange Environmental Activists; Md. Dairy Farmers
Become Activists

By Martha M. Hamilton

Washington Post Staff Writer

Wearing quilted jackets, string ties and suspenders, the dairy farmers
who sat in a Frederick County courtroom last week are not anyone's image
of political activists. But they are part of a new group of
environmentalists: those who claim that industrial pollution damages
their livelihoods as well as the quality of their lives.

The dairy farmers, are suing an aluminum smelter, Eastalco, for $4.8
million, charging that fluoride gas emissions from the processing plant
- located near their farms in southern Frederick County - have harmed
their dairy cattle, reduced milk production, and damaged trees and crops
on their farms.

More recent article, 2001. Don't humans live near or where these cows
live?  Wouldn't their health, reproduction and lactation be affected?
