NZ - Anti-fluoride DHB candidates are standing up and down country, but not always revealing their stance

Many candidates for District Health Boards across New Zealand say they are against public fluoridation of water, but don't reveal this in their candidate profiles.

District Health Boards (DHBs) don't currently control the fluoridation of water, but they will soon after a coming law change.

Half of the 62 DHB candidates who responded to a survey from anti-fluoride group Fluoride Free NZ said they opposed water fluoridation. There are 362 DHB candidates competing for 133 places across New Zealand in total.
