• Sister Rachel acts to rid Dublin pints of fluoride

  GUINNESS gives you a good pint and fluoride, much to the annoyance of a Dublin nun spearheading an anti-fluoride campaign.

The reason: the Park Royal Brewery in London uses unfluoridated water in a […]

• Gormley’s fluoride safety study won’t be ready until 2012

  A study on the safety of fluoride in public drinking supplies will not be available until 2012 – more than five years after Green Party leader John Gormley promised to outlaw the chemical if elected to government.

• Act on fluoride study now

  Why wait another three years before John Gormley’s fluoride safety study is ready (Irish Independent, February 13) when he, like the rest of Europe, has already found fluoridation to be both unsafe and ineffective? It took him years of researching the international evidence (because no independent studies have ever been done here), and he brought […]

• Probe urged into fluoride in water link to cancer

• Ormonde Brick slammed in EU report

  NEW trials carried out on the farm of Dan Brennan, outside Castlecomer, show his cattle thrived and plants grew normally while the Ormonde Brick plant was closed. It is alleged that the new study being carried out by the department of agriculture noted that once the factory reopened the cattle stopped putting on weight. It […]

• Fluoridation: medication via the water supply

  To have better behaved citizens we could legislate putting Valium in the town water supply, or aspirin and cholesterol drugs to reduce heart attacks, and hormones to regulate birth control.
