DR Jeyanthi John says fluoridation is still needed to reduce tooth decay in children.

I had all my teeth removed before I was two years old, so why was that? Mother’s milk no good?

On BBC 1 recently there was a programme on the lack of water in India.

They are now being forced to dig their wells deeper and deeper to find water, which is poor drinking water.

This water is doing very bad things to their children’s bones.

One of the causes is the natural fluoride in the water.

Please ask Dr Jayanthi John, why in Southampton fluoride will not be natural. It will be added by someone who thinks he or she knows best.

I am proud to be a “Hampshire Hog” born in St Elmo Nursing Home, Junction Road, Totton, on October 7 1933. I have no teeth but have lung cancer and great bones at the moment.

When you poison my drinking water you will do what lung cancer can’t: Kill Me I have to pay Southern Water for the water they supply to my house.

It is nice water, very very nice water – without fluoride – from the River Test.

I won’t be paying for something I can collect in my nine water butts – it is called rain water – without fluoride.
