I back anti-lobby because fluoride must be a choice
Grasmere Drive Elland Once again we have an unfair attack on a Your say contributor.
I support the lobby that is against adding fluoride to our water – not for any medical or dental reasons but for the simple reason of personal choice.
If the powers that be want to make it compulsory for mass fluoride medication then why isn't it added to food, fizzy drinks, alcohol, bottled water, or in a tea-bag so that people can choose to buy these?
The simple answer is that fluoride cannot be added to these items because it is a poison and banned as a food additive in virtually every country.
If there is a proven reason why it should be compulsory issued then why isn't it issued via a doctor or a dentist as part of a compulsory programme which is witnessed by a medical or dentistry professional?
The very people who want, or care about, fluorine to protect teeth are probably the people who least need it and the people who do need it are not interested in tooth care, otherwise they would buy toothpaste instead of beer, cigs or pop.
After all a cheap tube of toothpaste is only around 20p – this is their choice.
