According to three British scientists (Vyvyan Howard, Spedding Micklem and Paul Connett) who have followed the debate closely for many years, “This is not a good time for the British government to mislead the public on the dangers posed by the practice of water fluoridation.” They point to a recent statement from the four Chief […]

That’s because municipal elections affect all of us, not just various special interest groups seeking the attention of Parliament. Yet local elections are usually considered to be the third tier of politics, a kind of teething ground for prospective, […]
I’m a dentist and I oppose water fluoridation. I’m hardly alone. I know many dentists who feel the same but are reluctant to speak out for fear of criticism and controversy. For many years, I supported fluoridation. Like nearly all dentists, I heard mostly good things about it in dental school and the American Dental […]
