UK Against Fluoridation

Jane was Right

Waste of time trying to convince the fluoridation experts they cannot do anything but endorse fluoride.
Their comment "no biological plausibility" beggars belief.

NFIC Response
Dear Mr. Edmunds,
Many thanks for your recent comments which were passed onto our senior advisors, who then examined and noted your points.
Having looked at the comments which you submitted, the advisory team felt that there was nothing in these which would result in a member of the team making any amendments to the reports on allergy, thyroid and kidney which were sent to you previously.
The reason which is given for this is that of the reports which you submit as evidence, one is anecdotal and the other is of very low grade evidence.
As such, they would not warrant any changes to the evidence which is contained in these reports.Our advisors also looked at the fatness theory which you mentioned but found no biological plausibility for such a theory and no evidence which had been submitted or accepted by a scientific journal to substantiate this.

The advisory team has also taken note of Professor Sheldon's position. They have looked at the NPWA website to see his reasons which, they suspect, are to do with the low quality of the epidemiology.I would like to thank you again for your enquiry and please do not hesitate to contact the centre if you have any further queries,

With many thanks,
Kate Tidman
Communications Manager
National Fluoride Information Centre (NFIC)
