UK Against Fluoridation

Australia - Letter | Why revisit the follies of fluoridation

FELLOW residents, the time has come again to discuss the state’s controversial fluoridation policy. The Oberon people decisively rejected state government backed fluoridation of our water four years ago, and it may be time to dust off and have at it again, as council have decided to decide whether or not to review the original decision. 
Back in the day good dental health in children was a parental responsibility, not a government one; and the government ought to butt out of this one permanently. The state may spruik the high number of fluoridated precincts in NSW, but can’t deny 23 Queensland councils have voted to remove it. Why is that? Or that first world governments such as Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, Hungary, Japan and Israel have openly rejected it. Why? 
Why is NSW Health so far behind on this issue? Can’t they read what is accepted mainstream news/policy outside of our national media? Fluoride should have gone the way of thalidomide, thimerosal, Ritalin and other terrible “government approved” ideas of the past. 
A year’s supply of all the pharmaceutical grade fluoride you officially need (if you still feel you do) is in one small tube of Colgate (which you spit out, not swallow – hence the poison warning). A good parent with the foresight to enforce a regime of proper dental care in their kids is the best method by far to guarantee our town kids have great teeth.  
If the state and council are really that worried about the people’s dentition, we should invest in promoting good dental hygiene practices that specifically target people’s needs, not dubiously mass medicating the group with random doses of an obviously highly questionable industrial grade, aluminium smelter waste product. Think of the money we’d save. 
I would strongly urge the people considering getting involved in this matter for the first time to make up their own minds after reviewing the data available, not just accepting the official narrative as gospel. Heretical views against perceived unlawful or unethical government policies is a fair and free right in a democracy such as ours.
We should seek the truth in all things, even when it makes us uncomfortable or unpopular.
