Scientists slam call to continue adding fluoride to water

ELEVEN international scientists have come together to slate the Government-appointed Fluoridation Forum’s recommendation that fluoride continue to be added to public water supplies.

They claim the recommendation is based on a narrow selection of studies and fails to take account of what they say is a growing body of evidence pointing to excess fluoride as the cause of a range of modern ailments.

The scientists five Americans, one Canadian, one New Zealander and others based in Britain, Japan and India were asked by the environmental group VOICE (Voice of Concern for the Irish Environment) to evaluate the Fluoridation Forum report published in September.
