Australia - Debate Continues
Debate Continues on Introduction of Fluoridated Water Supply in Western Australia
Submitted by Annabel Tautou on Wed, 03/13/2013 - 05:14
A public warning has been raised by a resident of Perth and spokesperson James Fairbairn on the name of `A Fluoride Free Western Australia' campaign explaining that there is a probability of fluoridisation of the water supply and is also calls it `a violation of our individual right to informed consent'.
A plan was released in 2008 to fluoridate the water supply of Margaret River in a press release in the year 2008 by the chairman of Fluoridation of Public Water Supplies Advisory Committee Richard Lugg who suggested that the proposal will prove beneficiary for public as evidence on national as well as international level depicts that drinking fluoridated water helps significantly in reduction in problems with dental decay.
On the other hand, Fairbairn was quoted as saying, "More than 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers link fluoride to health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disruption, and impaired child brain development, dental and skeletal fluorosis".
Shire of Carnarvon fought the decision of fluoridation in 2012 with health minister and became successful as the ministry agreed for not introducing it after receiving 800 objection letters for the proposal.
