Sensible to wait for report on fluoride

I HAVE been following the debate in Your say regarding fluoride, both back in 2007 and now.
I clearly remember in 2007 both Dennis Edmondson and Edward Priestley claiming that fluoride is a weedkiller and another correspondent to Your say expressing concern at this with the headline to the letter "Fluoride: It's a Weedkiller."
Barbara Sutcliffe (Your say, October 12) is correct when she says that botanically there is no such thing as a weed. For example dandelions can be a crop grown for making tea, soups, salad or dandelion and burdock fizzy drink, but when dandelions grow in our vegetable patch or flowerbeds we call them weeds. As she says plants are plants.
So Dennis Edmondson's claims that fluoride is a weedkiller while making crops such as cabbages grow exceedingly well and is contained in the fruit and vegetables we buy without killing them, but deadly to consume, is a contradiction of mammoth proportions exposed by Barbara Sutcliffe.
Dennis Edmo-ndson keeps accusing others, including Barbara Sutcliffe, of being ill-informed. It is now obvious he is the one who is ill-informed and has lost all credibility.
It makes you wonder, if the truth were known, how much more misinformation is being put out by the lobby groups.
It also makes you realise how sensible George Simpson's suggestion was ("Fluoride: let's wait for the unemotive facts") that any petition against fluoride should be made after the Calderdale NHS report next spring, not now.
