Not happy. Parents should bring their children up with proper dental hygiene and less sugary drinks etc.

From govts own web site.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3144112/ 

“ Concurrent with the decline in dental caries has been an increase in the prevalence of dental fluorosis, a side-effect of fluoride exposure. Dental fluorosis remains highly prevalent world-wide. As recently as 2005, 23% of persons in the United States aged 6 to 39 years had very mild or greater enamel fluorosis”

Also doesn’t look like it’s good for bones, plus the ones making the decision are not the ones paying the cost. I’m feeling very anti Labour at moment.

No fluoridated water when I was a kid, and still have all my teeth except the wisdom ones. :)  

 

 

I worked with a woman once who smoked like a chimney.  When I queried if she had ever considered quitting her reply was: "My uncle has been a smoker all his life and he is 90 so how can it be bad for your health?"

 

(I didn't continue the discussion.)





Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

gzt: ...

Labour forcing Christchurch to fluoridate water supply.

The thing is - this bill was actually introduced by National and the current government inherited it. ...

 

I think we're lucky in this country that both mainstream parties that are likely to be the main one in government generally advocate and support science.
