UK Against Fluoridation

Fluoridation is old technology
I read the article ‘Ask your dentist:  It’s time we added fluoride to drinking water in Northern Ireland.’ (July 4).
The biggest fall in tooth decay is in non-fluoridated Scandinavia. Medication should be prescribed individually, not given to whole communities with no control over dosage received.  The chemical used in water fluoridation is fluorosilicic acid. It’s contaminated with arsenic, mercury and lead etc. It isn’t pharmaceutical grade – unlike that used in toothpaste. Leading paediatrician, Philip J Landrigan, and Professor Philippe Grandjean at Harvard School of Public Health, reported in The Lancet medical journal that after looking at 27 studies, they’ve classified fluoride as a “developmental neurotoxin” (nerve poison) which can harm children’s IQ. Scotland has greatly cut tooth decay with its ‘ChildSmile’ scheme where young children clean their teeth properly each day in school. Simple, effective, safe and cheap. Fluoridation is old technology, as only 1 per cent of tap water is drunk – most of the water supply is used for washing and by industry, so is mainly public money down the drain.
