When, after 35 years of intermittent fluoridation in Lincoln, the 4 July 2005 Lincolnshire Echo led with the news that 90000 people in Lincolnshire were looking for a dentist, it was a fair bet that at least some of them used to go to Oliver Chapple, a very good dentist there who was however excessively fond of fluoride.
Despite having every reason to suspect animal rights campaigners of an arson attack on his surgery, the then vulpicidal Mr Chapple seized upon this unfortunate incident, and took to the headlines in the aforementioned Echo to accuse anti-fluoride campaigners of the crime instead.
This was shocking enough to quench any respectable protests about a planned expansion of personal fluoridatedness which just happened to be on the cards in Lincolnshire at that time.
And utter tosh. The front-page story was unbacked by the police or any, er, evidence. And although this is of no importance, as the most vocal anti-fluoride guy in Lincoln at the time, this was kind of a personal slur on moi, in some unlitigible way.
As Cllr Shields also demonstrates, what matters evidence, if you have a strong opinion? See, Southampton? That's the way to do it!
Oliver's rush to demonise opponents of personal fluoridatedness as surgery arsonists illustrates well the human tendency to think in clumps. Instead of seeing independent samples people, and especially zealots, quickly resort to stereotypes to fit new information into their existing opinions.
You know, like the racists and flying saucer people.
It is the very opposite to the null hypothesis of scientific method.
In an example of what I mean, last year a paper showed a statistically bulletproof correlation coefficient (R2=.9994) between water fluoride levels and racehorse breakdowns at two Southern California tracks.
Breakdown incidence peaked with fluoride elevated to 1ppm, with 10.8 fatalities per 1,000 starts. In a two-year period, 186 horses perished at Los Alamitos. When the fluoride level was lowered to 0.7ppm, fatalities also dropped. Fatalities were lowest when no fluoride was added.
Although there was no unfluoridated control racecourse, as the author wryly observes: "Water district officials were unaware of treating the horses. The horses were unaware of the treatment, and the owners were not informed. The author/observer had no role in either the treatment or handling of the horses. The most logical objective explanation of these data is that the breakdown incidence parallels the level of fluoride in the fluoridated water supply."
So now Cllr Shields can finally see some harm attributable to fluoridation. All he has to do is look. What about a Council-funded trip to California to check up?
And why were those 90000 people searching anyway? Had all the dentists left by then, thanks to fluoride?

It is sad that Lincoln's now-retired white-knight-hunter-dentist fluoride expert was not only willing to ill-treat his horse and hounds - though perhaps he has his own well - but was prepared to dispense any cheap emotion-wringing propaganda from atop his Pickled Walnut (that's his horse) to do down the irrational masses who wanted to ruin everything.
