NZ - Dentist unconvinced by water fluoridation review
By: Jacqui Stanford, New Zealand News
Anti-fluoridation campaigners are unmoved by a review the Prime Minister's chief science advisor says puts an end to claims it can cause cancer and other diseases.
Sir Peter Gluckman headed the study, which was reviewed by international experts and unequivocally found no evidence of negative health effects.
The Dental Association says it backs up scientific consensus, over anti-fluoride pseudo-science.
However anti-fluoride dentist Stan Litras says all those on the panel were pro-fluoride.
He says there should be an even-handed panel of people without agendas.
