ROTHERHAM Council has decided against putting fluoride in the borough's water supply to improve the condition of children's teeth, claiming there is insufficient evidence that it works.
The idea was strongly recommended by Rotherham Primary Care Trust, which said adding fluoride to tap- water can improve dental health and reduce decay.
But a review by the borough council concluded there was not enough evidence to back up the suggestion and said too much fluoride could have serious health implications.
Here is my previous post on fluoride. It also contains links to posts about fluoride from my older blog.

Good. I hate fluoride, and everybody thinks I'm nuts. I even go out of my way to buy expensive non-fluoride toothpaste. I never drink tap water... Ack.
Great post.
