Australia - 'Vocal minority' against water fluoridation
'Vocal minority' against water fluoridation
Posted Wed Dec 19, 2007 8:00am AEDT
Dentists say people against the fluoridation of water supplies in Victoria do not speak for their communities. The Victorian Government is planning to fluoridate the domestic water supplies for several country towns, including Castlemaine. The Australian Dental Association's Dr Mark Bowman says a recent study confirms children who drink fluoridated water have better dental health. He says most people want fluoride in their water.
"We would see that the people who are anti-fluoride from experience we've had, are a vocal minority," he said. "We've got no evidence to the contrary."

The local council here in Castlemaine is against the fluoridation of our water and has requested that the issue is put to a popular vote. The State Government is well aware that its plans to fluoridate would fail if residents were given a plebiscite.
