Senior doctors allege lack of evidence on fluoride safety
Medical experts writing in the British Medical Journal accuse the government of using the York Review selectively to support the case for compulsory fluoridation when there is no strong evidence either way.

In 2000 the British Government funded an independent review into water fluoridation by the scientists at York University.
