IN reference to the letter “Children Missing Out On Fluoride” by Dr Jeyanthi John.

Firstly, children are not missing out. Putting fluoride into our drinking water is not the answer to children’s decayed teeth. Has Dr John not heard of the Childsmile Programme that is successful in other parts of the country which doesn’t involve contaminating our drinking water? Has Dr John not read the many letters against fluoride which will be mass medicating us all if it goes in? Has Dr John not read that Canada, the USA and other countries have stopped fluoridating their water supplies (we wonder why?). Has Dr John read that babies cannot drink fluoridated water as it is very very harmful to them?

Dr John also comments that every child will benefit if fluoride goes in.

That is hardly possible even if fluoride was good, as most children drink fizzy drinks anyway.

Also as a doctor, Dr John cannot force medication onto any patients that she treats. So will she please stop trying to force fluoride onto us.

If she wants fluoride to go ahead it becomes a medication.

So please, Dr John, read this. We don’t need or want fluoride in our water supply.
