Australia - MP urges fluoride water supply moratorium
MP urges fluoride water supply moratorium
Posted June 21, 2012 12:45:52
A far north Queensland MP is calling on the Premier to place a moratorium on adding fluoride to public water supplies.
A Katter's Australian Party MP has told State Parliament that some residents are worried about the cost of the process and whether it is working.
There are also concerns from some western communities, including Cunnamulla, about the cost of the fluoridation, when some artesian supplies already have a level of fluoride in them.
Shane Knuth told the House, there are two key reasons the Government should act.
"The first is the growing body of peer reviewed, credible research, revealing ... the ineffectiveness of fluoridation on dental health and the adverse health effects of fluoridation, which call in question the cost benefits analysis used to justify fluoridation of public water supplies," he said.
"The second is the ongoing cost to ratepayers."
