Auckland DHBs Defend Use Of Fluoride In Water Supply
7:46 am, 28 Feb 2007
Auckland's three District Health Boards have defended the use of fluoride in the city's water supply. Yesterday, a city councillor, John Hinchcliff, called for fluoridation to be reconsidered, saying there is substantial evidence of its toxic effects.His recommendation was overwhelmingly rejected by the council.
The Chief Medical Officer of the Auckland DHB, Dr David Sage, says fluoridation is an effective public health measure supported by solid scientific evidence.
Mr Sage says it is safe and cost effective and adequately reduces tooth decay.
That will be the day when a C.M.O agrees fluoridation is harmful.
