Fluoride gets green light after final challenge is thrown out
THE last formal attempt to stop health chiefs putting fluoride in Hampshire tap water has been rejected.
The decision by a Parliamentary watchdog to reject a complaint about the controversial scheme gives the green light for South Central Strategic Health Authority (SHA) to plough on with its plans for Southampton and the surrounding area.
But the organisation now faces a race against time if it is to get the chemical into the water supply before it is axed next spring by the Government, as part of NHS reforms.
The last-ditch bid to halt the controversial scheme had been made by New Forest East MP Julian Lewis and Hampshire County Councillor David Harrison.
But the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has ruled against their complaints.
The pair wanted the SHA brought to book over its “sham” consultation, the waste of public money in pushing the scheme through, and fears the fluoridated area may have to be larger than initially thought.
If they had been successful it could have halted the project, which will affect 200,000 people in parts of Southampton, Eastleigh, Totton, Netley and Rownhams.
But the ombudsman turned down the complaint, saying the issues raised were either out of its remit or had already been examined by the High Court during a judicial review which the SHA successfully defended.
Cllr Harrison said he was “disappointed”
with the decision, which he said gives the green light for public organisations to fritter away taxpayers’ cash.
He told the Daily Echo: “The SHA are to be abolished in April and both Dr Lewis and myself felt it was a real folly and a massive waste of public money for them to continue in the knowledge that all the local councils were against it and have stated their intention to reverse the decision.
“The ombudsman has essentially said as long as it’s legal it can waste as much money as it likes, which seems quite breathtaking.
“The NHS isn’t over-endowed with funding and already a great deal of public money has been wasted.
“Everybody who pays taxes should be outraged by this.”
After winning the judicial review last year the SHA restarted work with Southern Water on plans to introduce fluoridation and believes it is on track to get the scheme in place before next spring, arguing it still believes it will benefit public health.
The authority has previously said: “The SHA Board unanimously decided that the health benefits outweigh all of the arguments against water fluoridation for the population described in the consultation and remains confident with this decision.”
But as revealed by the Daily Echo, fears have been raised the pipe network means some homes outside the consulted area could find themselves in a fluoridated zone.
Cllr Harrison said: “The ombudsman has agreed that if the water is fluoridated outside of where the consultation took place that would indeed be illegal, but we don’t know for sure if that’s going to happen, so we can’t yet take any action.”
But he believes with time running out for the SHA, he is “reasonably optimistic” the scheme will not be in place before responsibility for fluoridation is handed to councils, all of which have expressed their opposition to the project.
Cllr Harrison added: “It really would be sensible for the SHA to admit defeat.”

If the NHS takes over from the SHA then presumably the NHS will bear the ongoing costs?
If so, surely it's better that this money is spent supporting the heart unit or keeping beds open at Tatchbury?
Perhaps that's why Tatchbury was closed all along...to save money to fund the fluouridation scheme under the NHS?

There are so many different avenues you can take with this subject and all of them lead to the fact that placing Fluoride in our water supply is unethical, it's hazardous to our health, it's undemocratic and most importantly...It's UNNECESSARY.
I think we need to break the association between fluoride and oral hygiene and cleanliness.
You do not need fluoride in your toothpaste to have a clean and hygienic mouth. There are fluoride free toothpastes that are approved by Dentist Association's around the world.
It stands to reason, that if you don't need fluoride (in toothpaste) to sustain a clean and hygienic mouth then you don't need to add fluoride to the water supply to "cure" said problem.
The "debate" was over before it even started!
Why don't people just adopt this view?! This point is irrefutable.
Linesman: I have no idea who you are and you probably are a decent person however your advocation for something that is completely irrelevant is really perturbing.
I honestly can't see how you could disagree with my statement because this is a known fact. If you do agree with my statement then your pro-fluoride or fluoride sympathetic comments are unwarranted.
If you disagree then check out a brand of toothpaste that I use called Kingfisher. It is approved by the British Dental Health Foundation and obviously means that it's just as good as Fluoridated toothpastes.
Once again the debate is over...
Kind regards,
Chris

We can NEVER let it happen.
It is NOT acceptable to allow this toxic waste to be put in our water supplies.
This should be made illegal worldwide.
We NEED a shake up in gov the dept of health & education to realize that this chemical has long term risks to the health and well being of the population.
What will they decide to poison our water with next Astatine ???

Thanks a lot. After living in the Southampton area for 59 years we are now forced out of the area. As my wife suffers from a serious thyroid problem, taking flouride in any form would cause severe problems. I now have the choice of buying endless supplies of bottled water for drinking, washing and bathing or moving out. Either that or sit back and watch my wife suffer the negative health consequences.

Allow me to reiterate: There have been NO studies showing detrimental effects of flouridated water at low levels. There have been thousands of studies showing the positive health benefits. And it goes way beyond just nice looking teeth. The rates of heart disease and gum disease go way down in regions where the water is flouridated. Simply put, flouridating water saves lives! It would be disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
There is a reason that British teeth are mocked the world over. It isn't just a stereotype. I have lived here for long enough; it is truth. Flouridation won't solve the entire problem. Convincing people to go to the dentist, and care for their teeth would finish it off. But bad dental hygiene leads to heart disease and other negative effects. If any country needs flouridation, it is this one.
And to Sircumfrins, who states the fact that there are non-flouridated toothpastes as proof that flouridation is unnecessary, your argument is specious. There is a difference between merely cleaning your teeth and keeping them healthy. A non-flouridated toothpaste can do a fine job cleaning your teeth, just as spraying water at your car will do a fine job getting the mud off. But if you want to protect your car's paint you use various products such as wax. The same applies with your teeth. Flouridation makes the enamel stronger, that is a fact. You can go to any chemist and ask them which is stronger, carboxyapatite, or flourapatite, and they will tell you that flourapatite is demonstrably stronger and does a better job resisting decay.
I know this is a long post, but I felt I needed to address this backwards thinking about flouridation. I come from a country where science isn't exactly respected highly. But some of the comments here have made the US Republican Party look like scientific geniuses.

It amazes me that there are still people in the world who oppose flouridation of the water supply. I moved here over a year ago where the flouridation question was solved 50 years ago. And you know something, there have been no demonstrated negative effects of flouridation in the States. Only one commenter here has even bothered posting any reason behind the opposition, the Harvard study that looked at villages in China. But even the authors of that study explicitly state that the conclusions do not apply to the western world. The villages that showed the (slight) decrease in IQ had flouride concentrations of 7 parts per million. The control groups that the study looked at for the low flouridation levels were as high as 0.8 parts per million. I honestly don't know what the proposed levels are for this area (because the reporting on this issue has been sadly lacking in actual facts), but if they are anything like the levels in the states it will be between 0.4 and 0.7 parts per million.

None of us should be forced to drink a toxic chemical which is a by-product of an industrial process. Forcing this on the masses in order to adminster it to a tiny minority of children who actually drink tap water and whose dental hygiene is below par (which is, after all, parents' responsibility, not the State's!!!) is totally unacceptable.
Hopefully, if the authority tries to impose this before it's disbanded, the case will be taken to the EU as it's against our human rights to force us to accept water with fluoride added when we have already voted in our masses in this area to reject the proposal when we were "consulted".
If it goes ahead, I foresee many class actions when the true health effects become all too apparent.
Those of us who drink tap water more than any other drink do not want fluoride in our water!

According to recent news some children are maturing into puberty as early as 8 years of age and no credible reason is being given. It is folly to claim that fluoridation has shown no signs of murdering anyone as you don't have to die to be adversly affected. I myself have a history of getting the trotts when in fluoridated areas and cannot drink beer produced in the Midlands or Newcastle without massive hangovers on small consumption, whereas I drank 9 pints of Shepherd Neame 'Spitfire' the other evening without any trace of a hangover. This beer is produced in fluoride free Kent. It is beyond belief that the authorities have got away with the claim that the amount is too small to adversly affect us but is large enough to have a beneficial effect on teeth.

It amazes me that there are still people in the world who oppose flouridation of the water supply. I moved here over a year ago where the flouridation question was solved 50 years ago. And you know something, there have been no demonstrated negative effects of flouridation in the States. Only one commenter here has even bothered posting any reason behind the opposition, the Harvard study that looked at villages in China. But even the authors of that study explicitly state that the conclusions do not apply to the western world. The villages that showed the (slight) decrease in IQ had flouride concentrations of 7 parts per million. The control groups that the study looked at for the low flouridation levels were as high as 0.8 parts per million. I honestly don't know what the proposed levels are for this area (because the reporting on this issue has been sadly lacking in actual facts), but if they are anything like the levels in the states it will be between 0.4 and 0.7 parts per million.
Allow me to reiterate: There have been NO studies showing detrimental effects of flouridated water at low levels. There have been thousands of studies showing the positive health benefits. And it goes way beyond just nice looking teeth. The rates of heart disease and gum disease go way down in regions where the water is flouridated. Simply put, flouridating water saves lives! It would be disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
There is a reason that British teeth are mocked the world over. It isn't just a stereotype. I have lived here for long enough; it is truth. Flouridation won't solve the entire problem. Convincing people to go to the dentist, and care for their teeth would finish it off. But bad dental hygiene leads to heart disease and other negative effects. If any country needs flouridation, it is this one.
And to Sircumfrins, who states the fact that there are non-flouridated toothpastes as proof that flouridation is unnecessary, your argument is specious. There is a difference between merely cleaning your teeth and keeping them healthy. A non-flouridated toothpaste can do a fine job cleaning your teeth, just as spraying water at your car will do a fine job getting the mud off. But if you want to protect your car's paint you use various products such as wax. The same applies with your teeth. Flouridation makes the enamel stronger, that is a fact. You can go to any chemist and ask them which is stronger, carboxyapatite, or flourapatite, and they will tell you that flourapatite is demonstrably stronger and does a better job resisting decay.
I know this is a long post, but I felt I needed to address this backwards thinking about flouridation. I come from a country where science isn't exactly respected highly. But some of the comments here have made the US Republican Party look like scientific geniuses.
As for digestive troubles, that has absolutely nothing to do with flouride. The flouride molecules are way to small to interact directly with your digestive systems. digestive distress when you visit other localities is either stress caused from the travel, or your bodies inability to deal with the local bacterial population in the tap water. Every location has its own bacteria in the water, even when it has been purified.
For the beer, hangovers from different types of beers have nothing to do with flourine and everything to do with the specific water to alcohol ratio. Your body gets used to certain ratios. That is why people who grow up at vineyards can drink wine all day long and yet a little beer and they are toasted. I would suggest that 9 pints of Spitfire is way worse for you than a lifetime of flouridated water.

I advise you read up on fluorosis. The occurence in Ireland is 23% have minor fluorosis with 3% moderate to severe. Fluorosis is purely aesthetic and not a health risk at all. Minor fluorosis is only visible to dental health professionals. The studies on fluorosis in Ireland show that almost every single moderate to severe case is either linked to the early introduction of flouridated toothpastes between the ages of 12 and 18 months, or flouride contamination from coal mining.
Are you really concerned about an almost invisible cosmetic problem? Do you really find it more pressing than the very real dental and health problems you are forcing upon the children by denying them flouridation?
As for the digestive to flourine link: the studies show you need over 250 mg/liter to impact the digestive track. The proposal is close to 0.1 mg/liter. You would have to drink 2,500 liters of water at proposed levels without urinating to be impacted in the digestive tract. You claim it is proven, but don't provide any evidence because the proof is in your head. I am sorry, but just because you read it on Joe's blog doesn't make it true. Try reading some actual literature on the subject and you will learn you are making hay

I grew up on fluoridated water, and I have perfect teeth. Everyone I know grew up on fluoridated water, and let me tell you, we are a healthy bunch.
There has never been demonstrated negative health effects of fluoridated water. It has never happened.
Yes, too much fluoride can be bad for you, but you can overdose on vitamin C or even water. Too much of anything is bad for you. But to succumb to the fear mongering of the anti-fluoridation crowd is as bad as the anti-vaccine crowd. It is embarrassing that I even have to post here. These questions were answered in the 1950s.

Flouridation has no effect on IQ ? I beg to differ.
You are forgeting everytime you wash your hands/drink/have a shower your body will be absorbing the particles, not just oraly.
Unless you can show concrete, beneficial, 100% proof without shadow of a doubt, then you have no right to force this upon the population.
This argument is about the principles of a democratic society. Not that someone from the blind land of PAX AMERICA would understand.
And the only reason I have ridiculed you based on where you are from, is because its the line of argument you have spouted which automaticaly discredits you as anyone with half a brain.
The actual argument here is that out of principle, democracy should not allow for substance(harmful or not is irrelevant) to be administered to a population which when consulted, said they dont want it.
Otherwise you might as well scrap human rights and run a regieme where the state does what it feels will benefit the public for the greater good. I like the idea.
Problem is, who would be trustworthy and get to decide what the "greater good" is?

SINCE THE CLEAN AIR ACT OF 1956 AND A DECLINE IN HEAVY INDUSTRY, THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN SUNSHINE DURATION OVER THE INDUSTRIAL MIDLANDS.
Average annual sunshine durations over the MIDLANDS RANGE FROM LESS THAN 1350 HOURS IN THE HIGHER NORTHERN AND WESTERN FRINGES TO ABOUT 1500 HOURS near the southern boundary.
These figures compare with values of LESS THAN 1100 HOURS A YEAR IN THE SHETLAND ISLANDS to over 1750 hours along the south coast of England and over 1900 hours in the Channel Islands. The tendency for convective cloud to develop over inland areas in summer leads to sunshine averages that are lower than coastal sites

Vitamin scheme launched as rickets returns to Birmingham.
24 Feb 2011.
CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN across Birmingham are being targeted in a free vitamin drive after the re-emergence of a Victorian poverty disease.
Cases of rickets in the city have surged in the past year – caused by a severe lack of Vitamin D and not getting enough exposure to sunlight.
Modern day lifestyles of unhealthy food and also smothering children in sunscreen is being blamed for the disease, thought to have been eradicated 50 years ago, rearing its head.
Britain’s chief medical officer, Dame Sally Davies, WARNED PARENTS TO GIVE ALL UNDER-FIVES VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS for diseases such as rickets last month.

Vitamin scheme launched as rickets returns to Birmingham.
24 Feb 2011.
CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN across Birmingham are being targeted in a free vitamin drive after the re-emergence of a Victorian poverty disease.
Cases of rickets in the city have surged in the past year – caused by a severe lack of Vitamin D and not getting enough exposure to sunlight.
Modern day lifestyles of unhealthy food and also smothering children in sunscreen is being blamed for the disease, thought to have been eradicated 50 years ago, rearing its head.
Britain’s chief medical officer, Dame Sally Davies, WARNED PARENTS TO GIVE ALL UNDER-FIVES VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS for diseases such as rickets last month.

EPIGENETICS: YOU ARE WHAT YOUR GRANDPARENTS ATE.
Some chemicals may leave people vulnerable to diseases like cancer and diabetes, not by mutating genes but by turning them off or on at the wrong time. according to both animal and human studies what a pregnant mother eats and the chemicals she is exposed to can affect her offspring these changes, in turn, CAN BE PASSED ON TO THE NEXT GENERATIONS.
Exposure to gene-altering substances, particularly in the womb and shortly after birth, "can lead to increased susceptibility to disease," said Linda S. Birnbaum, who was named director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and of the National Toxicology Program in December. "THE SUSCEPTIBILITY PERSISTS LONG AFTER THE EXPOSURE IS GONE, EVEN DECADES LATER. Glands, organs, and systems can be permanently altered."

TOXIC (FLUORIDE) ASH THREATENS ICELAND ANIMALS.
11:33 GMT, Monday, 19 April 2010.
Farmers in southern Iceland have been racing to protect their animals from being poisoned by volcanic dust.
"The risk is of fluoride poisoning if they breathe or eat too much," Berglind Hilmarsdottir, a dairy farmer from Nupur, told the AP news agency through a protective white dust mask.
The animals are at risk of fluoride poisoning if they inhale or ingest the ash, leading to internal bleeding, long-term bone damage and teeth loss.

We are told by Fluoridation advocates that Fluoride does not raise the risk of Cancer yet Fluoridated Arden is the UKs No 1 Thyroid Cancer hot spot and Iceland has worlds highest Incidence of Thyroid Cancer.
The only difference.. the Brumbies of Arden are force fed Fluoride in their water supply, the Icelanders have no choice in the matter, Toxic (Fluoride) Ash rains down on them.

TOXIC (FLUORIDE) ASH THREATENS ICELAND ANIMALS.
11:33 GMT, Monday, 19 April 2010.
Farmers in southern Iceland have been racing to protect their animals from being poisoned by volcanic dust.
"The risk is of fluoride poisoning if they breathe or eat too much," Berglind Hilmarsdottir, a dairy farmer from Nupur, told the AP news agency through a protective white dust mask.
The animals are at risk of fluoride poisoning if they inhale or ingest the ash, leading to internal bleeding, long-term bone damage and teeth loss.

THREE CANCERS SHARE GENETIC LINK
19 August 2011.
By James Gallagher Health reporter, BBC News
CHROMOSOME CHROMOSOMES CONTAIN GENETIC INFORMATION - TOO MANY OR TOO FEW COULD LEAD TO CANCER.
A gene has been linked to at least three cancers in different tissues in the body, US researchers say.
Dr Julie Sharp, senior science information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "Scientists have known for more than 100 years that having too many or too few chromosomes is linked to cancer and these results suggest that this is not just a characteristic but a cause of the disease.
"Their discovery sheds light on how chromosome numbers can be altered when cells divide and presents researchers with new ways to tackle cancer by designing drugs to upset this chain of events.

The Met Office.
SINCE THE CLEAN AIR ACT OF 1956 AND A DECLINE IN HEAVY INDUSTRY, THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN SUNSHINE DURATION OVER THE INDUSTRIAL MIDLANDS.
Average annual sunshine durations over the MIDLANDS RANGE FROM LESS THAN 1350 HOURS IN THE HIGHER NORTHERN AND WESTERN FRINGES TO ABOUT 1500 HOURS near the southern boundary.
These figures compare with values of LESS THAN 1100 HOURS A YEAR IN THE SHETLAND ISLANDS to over 1750 hours along the south coast of England and over 1900 hours in the Channel Islands. The tendency for convective cloud to develop over inland areas in summer leads to sunshine averages that are lower than coastal sites

Vitamin scheme launched as rickets returns to Birmingham.
24 Feb 2011.
CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN across Birmingham are being targeted in a free vitamin drive after the re-emergence of a Victorian poverty disease.
Cases of rickets in the city have surged in the past year – caused by a severe lack of Vitamin D and not getting enough exposure to sunlight.
Modern day lifestyles of unhealthy food and also smothering children in sunscreen is being blamed for the disease, thought to have been eradicated 50 years ago, rearing its head.
Britain’s chief medical officer, Dame Sally Davies, WARNED PARENTS TO GIVE ALL UNDER-FIVES VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS for diseases such as rickets last month.

EPIGENETICS: YOU ARE WHAT YOUR GRANDPARENTS ATE.
Some chemicals may leave people vulnerable to diseases like cancer and diabetes, not by mutating genes but by turning them off or on at the wrong time. according to both animal and human studies what a pregnant mother eats and the chemicals she is exposed to can affect her offspring these changes, in turn, CAN BE PASSED ON TO THE NEXT GENERATIONS.
Exposure to gene-altering substances, particularly in the womb and shortly after birth, "can lead to increased susceptibility to disease," said Linda S. Birnbaum, who was named director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and of the National Toxicology Program in December. "THE SUSCEPTIBILITY PERSISTS LONG AFTER THE EXPOSURE IS GONE, EVEN DECADES LATER. Glands, organs, and systems can be permanently altered."

I can only conclude.. instead of adding to Southampton's naturally occurring fluoride Southern Water should be filtering it out , at least till all toothpaste is fluoride free.

We learn today from Britain’s chief medical officer, PROFESSOR DAME SALLY DAVIES that deaths in the U.K from liver disease have increased by a fifth between 2000 and 2009, while they have dropped by around the same amount in most comparable European countries.
It's well known that the aluminium in beer kegs/cans is none too healthy for your kidney/liver.
If as you say you say some beers are brewed using fluoridated water.
I'd say aluminum and fluoride mixed is a lethal combo.
I'd also say Britain’s chief medical officer, PROFESSOR DAME SALLY DAVIES has more than a few questions on the safety of water Fluoridation to answer.

Epigenetics tells us that from the beginning of time are genes have been constantly pursuing a safer, healthier, less toxic world.
my unqualified view is, at best Fluoridation advocates are taking away our right to strive for a better world at worst turning back/destroying the human clock.

BBC HORIZON - EPIGENETICS - THE GHOST IN YOUR GENES.
published on 29 Aug 2012.
Biology stands on the brink of a shift in the understanding of inheritance. The discovery of epigenetics -- hidden influences upon the genes -- could affect every aspect of our lives.
EPIGENETICS ADDS A WHOLE NEW LAYER TO GENES BEYOND THE DNA. IT PROPOSES A CONTROL SYSTEM OF 'SWITCHES' THAT TURN GENES ON OR OFF -- AND SUGGESTS THAT THINGS PEOPLE EXPERIENCE, LIKE NUTRITION AND STRESS, CAN CONTROL THESE SWITCHES AND CAUSE HERITABLE EFFECTS IN HUMANS.
research has demonstrated that genes and the environment are not mutually exclusive but are inextricably intertwined, one affecting the other.
The idea that inheritance is not just about which genes you inherit but whether these are switched on or off is a whole new frontier in biology. It raises questions with huge implications, and means the search will be on to find what sort of environmental effects can affect these switches.

How bad is this ?
Going by the below report how could anyone not believe.. SHA have been massaging the North-South Cancer Stats/Figures while at the same time approving fluoridation on the grounds that the health benefits (SHA says no stats to prove otherwise) outweigh all of the arguments against water fluoridation.
I've no reason not to believe the below report, if true all the members of SHA's board should be arrested.

A REPORT BY THE RARER CANCERS FOUNDATION FOUND THAT
• Over the course of its lifetime, the Cancer Drugs Fund has the potential to benefit over 30,000 patients, enabling them to gain access to 34 drugs which would not otherwise be available on the NHS.
• More than 2,500 cancer patients have had treatment provided through the Cfud. It also shows that 187 patients were denied access to life-extending treatment between October 2010 and March 2011. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT STRATEGIC HEALTH AUTHORITIES (SHAS) HAD A COMBINED CANCER DRUGS FUND UNDERSPEND OF £22.5 MILLION AT THE END OF MARCH 2011.
• The fund is enabling patients to access up to 34 treatments which otherwise would not have been routinely available on the NHS. Patients with bowel, kidney and blood cancers have been amongst the most significant beneficiaries of the fund.
• Shockingly the report also revealed a north-south divide in approvals, with SHAs in the south of England approving a lower proportion of applications. FOR EXAMPLE, NHS SOUTH CENTRAL APPROVED APPROXIMATELY 75% OF APPLICATIONS WHEREAS NHS NORTH EAST APPROVED EVERY APPLICATION IT RECEIVED.
