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. There is no clear evidence that water fluoridation reduces dental decay, and it is not possible to conclude that it has no ill-effects on other aspects of health, the doctors say.
In 2000 the British Government funded an independent review into water fluoridation by the scientists at York University. However the Department of Health did not like their findings, analysis and advice and has been undermining their work ever since. This article is the response of the scientists involved.
Researcher Doris Jones has unearthed startling new evidence demonstrating that fluoride interferes with enzyme systems, damaging many organ systems of the body.
The drinking water in West Cumbria is fluoridated, not with pure fluoride, but with a cheaply obtained waste product of the fertilizer industry that contains many other potentially harmful minerals.
Like it or not, our water supply contains fluoride. What can you do if you don't want to consume it? Julian Moss describes an easy to install fluoride filtering system.
