Fluoride ruling: let's hope democracy wins
WHAT welcome news that the decision to add fluoride to our drinking water is to go to the high court for a ruling.
Let's hope that democracy and common decency win the day and the wishes of the people who should be affected are respected. If health chiefs really want to improve the oral health of the city's young people they should be lobbying for fewer processed foods - which are full of harmful chemicals including refined sugars which cause dental problems (among other health issues).
Perhaps a ban on restaurants selling processed foods produced in large factories, which are often a hidden source of sugar, salt, fat and chemicals in food that people think is wholesome natural, real, or home cooked - such as lasagne or chilli con carne.
