In UK: Dump Your Toothbrush, Says Health Minister

(PLANETNEWS)

 

There has been considerable studies showing that fluorinated water is BAD for

your health and does not stop tooth decay and now the UK is telling people to

have their CHILDREN drink a glass a day ..... this is down right scary ...T-----

Well, we all know by now that fluoride is a toxin that causes fluorosis of

the teeth (black mottling), osteoporosis and perhaps Alzheimer's...

But, the aim to to depopulate the " useless eaters " worldwide.....

It is also being banned in many countries. Studies have proven that in

areas where there is no fluoridation there is much less decay than in

fluoridated areas.

 

The Independent, 23 October 2003.

 

Dump your toothbrush, says health minister

 

By Marie Woolf Chief Political Correspondent

 

 

Children up and down the country will be delighting at the latest

public health advice from ministers: throw away your toothbrush.

 

Drinking a glass of fluoridated water is now the " preferred

method " of preventing tooth decay, according to the public health

minister, and is cheaper and easier than brushing.

 

Melanie Johnson wrote to MPs last week informing them that

brushing requires " ongoing positive personal action by the

individual " . But people who drink fluoridated water can protect

their teeth " without needing to take any personal action " .

 

Ms Johnson's letter, designed to persuade MPs not to block her

proposals to make it easier to add fluoride to the public water

supply, says " there are important reasons to consider water

fluoridation as the preferred method of preventing tooth decay on

a population basis " .

 

She goes on to compare brushing with drinking fluoridated water,

and concludes that the latter brings more health benefits.

 

She adds: " An alternative to water fluoridation is fluoride

toothpaste. But water fluoridation delivers greater reductions in

decay than toothpaste and reaches the whole population rather

than just those who adhere to a regular cleaning regime using

fluoride toothpaste.

 

" It is also cheaper - water fluoridation costs around 50p per

person per year; a year's supply of toothbrushes and toothpaste

costs around £10. "

 

Her comments have outraged MPs, who will vote today on the

government proposals in a standing committee on the water bill.

 

Simon Thomas, environment spokesman for Plaid Cymru and a member

of the committee, said: " She seems to be saying we should stop

brushing our teeth and should drink fluoride with water. It's

crazy.

 

" These proposals are full of contradictions. She says that it is

not possible to encourage people to eat more healthily. But what

about all these government obesity programmes? "

 

A spokeswoman for the Department of Health said the government

was " only going to encourage areas with poor dental health to

fluoridate water " .
