Its already IN your water, folks, but most people confuse it with Chlorine, which IS necessary, to ensure 'clean' water.

Fluoride is the nasty stuff, and you'd need a 'reverse osmosis' filter to get it out.

Did you read the links I put in? It's UNBELIEVABLE that anyone should advocate FOR it, given that such a huge amount of QUALIFIED medical practitioners, including a Nobel Laureatte, should be AGAINST it.

Hang on, though, they're not politicians, but they have vast amounts of knowledge, but it appears that Burnham knows best...??

Hi Tom its interesting reading your profile and your your links to Brewing. The last time I saw you,(Sydney 1992) you were under attack from irate Aussies who were throwing Beer Cans at you, your crime; Waving a Union Jack with 'Leythers' on it! you obviously survived.......

Mans got a point. How many times do we hear of excessive quantities of chemicals getting into the drinking water? Alluminium was the one that made the news but there are a lot more. Flouride is a killer and the worst part about it is you wont have a say about it going into your drinking water.
I'm not a bolshi person but does that fact alone not give you the creeps. Its wrong and it should not happen, even if its just because of the chance that too much might get into the water supply. If it goes ahead the government should give people the money for filter systems to get rid if they are against it. Also AB went right down in my estimation when he said nothing over the SL franchise debacle. If he goes ahead with this my vote goes to the Greens.

If all parents took good care of their children's teeth then fluoride would not be needed to be added to water supplies.Unfortunately as we all know a lot of parents cant even look after themselves so the State must intervene.

exactly, educate the friggin kids and parents rather than enforce it on the masses
