I’m glad to see that Brevard Commissioner Rita Pritchett is having a “conversation” with Mims citizens on fluoride treatment of our water system. I sincerely hope our local dental association and Mims citizens can convince her to change her mind and rescind her previous order to stop fluoridation of Mims water. In the event she […]
What you need to know: Fluoride is a soluble salt that occurs naturally in groundwater, foods, soil and some minerals. Locally, it is mostly consumed in water. Fluoride has no colour, taste or smell and can only be detected in a laboratory. Do you live in the Nairobi metropolitan area? Were you drawn to your […]
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Commission took Italy to the EU’s top court on Wednesday over the country’s failure to provide clean drinking water to its citizens.

Highlights Elevated fluoride levels in drinking water root cause of dental and skeletal fluorosis. The Defluoridation capacity using water melon rind biochar(WMRBC was 9.5 mg/g. Anions such as Cl–, NO3–, SO42, HCO3–and CO32-did not affect fluoride adsorption. Abstract Fluoride as a geogenic contaminant is commonly encountered in groundwater-based drinking water sources. In the present study […]

Make fluoride ingestion the individual choice of an informed public I am in agreement with Mr. Deming on reassessment of water fluoridation in our community.

The Southern District Health Board’s enthusiasm for extending water fluoridation is being resisted by Queenstown Lakes Mayor Jim Boult, who says he is yet to be convinced the region needs it. The SDHB last week resolved to support Government efforts to increase use of fluoridation — Parliament will today have the second-reading debate on the […]
The Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor (PMCSA) has just published a new page on fluoridation which is pure propaganda, ignoring or misrepresenting the current scientific knowledge.
