Fluoride in Manchester

Manchester Evening News - Bid to put fluoride in water

FOUR schemes for adding fluoride to tap water across Greater Manchester are being considered.

Health bosses have asked United Utilities to price up four options for the highly controversial scheme to improve the region's terrible dental health. They argue adding fluoride to the water supply could help improve dental health - it strengthens tooth enamel. But some anti-fluoride campaigners claim it is potentially dangerous mass medication.

I posted articles about fluoride before. They were posted a few months back and can be seen here and here.

No point in even going into the negative things that fluoride does since you don’t have to look that far to see how totally ridiculous this whole concept of putting fluoride in the tap water is. It’s mass medication. It’s getting put in because some people are having tooth problems. What are they going to do next? Put aspirin in the water because a lot of people are having headaches. It’s totally ridiculous. Stop eating filth and brush your teeth but no, the logical solution to this problem is of course to throw away millions of dollars and mass medicate people.
