NO to fluoride! Fluoride tackles symptoms not causes. Mass medication, dental fluorosis, lower IQ, and it's a toxic waste. Some people drink more water than others, elderly and babies may be more at risk. Who will look into a death of bone cancer to see if fluoride was a cause, nobody.
How many children drink pure water without squash being added?
The sweets, biscuits and fizzy drinks they consume daily and not brushing their teeth maybe causing dental decay.
My children 28 and 31 didn't have these ready available drinks, neither have a filling and I have a father of 95 who still has his own teeth.
If children have bad teeth the money would be better spent giving them fluoride tablets or having their teeth coated. Bring back the school dentist, we don't want it in our water. If I am forced I shall buy bottled water, does this mean I can pay less water rates? My choice!
If there is, as quoted by professionals, a doubt over safety then leave it out.
MRS S DUNN, Southampton.
