By Caroline Wheeler, Sunday Mercury
Medical experts claim that West Midlands tap water can make people FAT and could be fuelling rising obesity levels.
For the past 40 years, fluoride has been pumped into the region's tap water to help keep teeth healthy.But now a top doctor claims that the toxin can cause worrying health side-effects including hypothyroidism, a medical dis-order affecting the thyroid gland which controls weight gain. And he believes that children may be particularly susceptible to obesity if their mums drank fluoridated water while pregnant. Last year, the West Midlands topped the UK 'fat list' with a shocking 22.5 per cent of its population classed clinically obese.
