John Spottiswoode's power point presentation

On the face of it the idea of putting fluoride in our water sounds like it could be a good idea if it cuts down on the number of fillings we and our children need. After all many of us take supplements of vitamins and minerals to boost our health, and usually rightly so. However it is extremely important not to ingest toxins of whatever type.

The whole fluoridation issue has become shrouded in controversy. Despite more than fifty years of research there is still much debate on:

secondly, whether there are dangerous other effects from putting fluoride in our bodies.
