UK - Ann's letter in the Bolton Evening News
Water is no place for fluoride
By Staff Reporter
I AGREE with Elizabeth McDonagh (October 6) that adding further to our body's intake of fluoride is very unwise.
People today receive high doses of fluoride because the chemicals are present in pesticides, industrial pollution, anaesthetic and dental products which, as Ms McDonagh points out, many children swallow.
Fluoride is added to many medicines, such as some anti-depressants, and is contained in the non-stick coatings on saucepans. When they are heated fluoride fumes are given off.
Teaching children to clean their teeth correctly and to eat a healthy diet with fewer sweets and fizzy drinks is much more effective than adding a potentially toxic chemical to water supplies.
A Wills Middlesex.
