No to fluoride in Hull water


No to fluoride in Hull water
The Issue
On Jan 15, it was announced that Hull City Council is to pursue the fluoridation of the city's water supply.
We object to this on the following grounds:
- most of the world’s countries show marked improvements in dental health with or without fluoridation (Image search: WHO fluoride)
- fluoridation is mass medication with no control of dosage and without informed consent.
- Germany, Denmark and the UK enjoy the lowest dental decay in the EU, however only the UK partly fluoridates.
- Most of the world does not fluoridate - but shows marked dental health improvement - and only 11% of the UK population has it.
- Fluoride is the only chemical added to water for medical treatment.
- There are easy alternatives - eg, parents can obtain fluoride tablets should they wish.
- The health warning on fluoridated toothpastes says not to swallow and to seek medical advice if ingested, precisely because fluoride has long been known to be toxic.
- recent studies implicate fluoride in a number of ailments including the hardening of arteries and therefore heart disease, the lowering of IQ, an increase in tumours and cancers, and number of other serious complaints.
