Australia - letter against
Fluoridation is not the answer
I READ with interest in The Border Mail (August 17) an article on the third page headed “Whole lot of kids hit with tooth decay”.
The first paragraph read “tooth decay is so widespread among Australian children, with new research revealing almost half of six year olds are suffering from dental disease”.
It made interesting reading.
Fluoride, a toxic waste product, has been heavily promoted for quite a few years as the ultimate way to prevent tooth decay.
After reading the rest of the story I believe we are being fed false information, as fluoride in our water isn’t the answer.
I would like to ask all the experts what is the real reason for tooth decay? I suggest it is sugar as it is practically in everything we eat.
No wonder obesity and diabetes is rampant.
I would also like to know why our local councils, state and federal governments are so keen to have a poisonous substance added to our water supplies as fluoridation is unethical because individuals are not being asked for their informed consent before medication.
This is a standard procedure for all medication and it is one of the key reasons most of Western Europe has ruled against having fluoride added to their drinking water.
