Irish reduce fluoride in water
Environmental doctors welcome fluoride move
The Irish Environmental Doctors Association has welcomed the decision by Health Minister Mary Harney to reduce the levels of fluoride in our drinking water.
The recent decision comes four years after the publication of the report of the Fluoridation Forum, which recommended such a reduction. “Nevertheless, we remain steadfast in our opposition to the addition of this chemical to our drinking water,” said Dr Liz Cullen of IDEA.
“We note recent research which found that Irish children brush their teeth much less frequently than children in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Norway.” She said it wanted a non-chemical approach to dental decay.
