Anti-fluoride group looks for support at public meeting
ANTI-fluoride campaigners will step up their fight against plans to add the chemical to Southampton’s tap water at a public meeting tomorrow.
Hampshire Against Fluoridation (HAF) members will be talking to residents about their concerns over the scheme, backed in February by regional health chiefs despite widespread opposition from people in the affected area.
The group hopes to add names to its petition against the plans, which will see fluoride added to the water supply of almost 200,000 residents in parts of Southampton, Eastleigh, Totton, Netley and Rownhams.
It also aims to bolster a fighting fund set up to finance a potential legal challenge to South Central Strategic Health Authority’s decision to back the project in a bid to improve city children’s poor dental health.
HAF has invited several prospective parliamentary candidates to its meeting at Central Baptist Church, Devonshire Road, Southampton, which will take place from midday to 6pm.
The group says anyone who wants to find out more about fluoridation, and their campaign against it, should come along and chat to members.

thats ok look whats in the toothpaste from the bitterne health centre dental side 1450ppm? WTF
The other part of the problem is that the decision to fluoridate tap water was taken against the wishes of the vast majority of local people.
Plenty of details are available on the web, including:

Back the ANTI-fluoride campaigners in their efforts.
Promoters of water fluoridation lie when they claim that fluoridated water does not increase the incidence of cancer and other illness.
I quote the US Attorney at Law Janie Evins: "In the early 1990's, with trials of 11, 14 and 40 days to allow for extensive expert witness testimony, courts in Illinois, Texas and Pennsylvania each came to the same conclusion: fluoride at one part per million in the water, a) aggravates existing illnesses, b) causes adverse health effects, and c) contributes to a significant increase in cancer deaths."
Attorney Evins wrote this in a legal letter dated 19/02/09 that she sent to the Oral Health Director of the Arkansas Department of Health, Dr Lynn Mouden who had made false claims about fluoridation in order to promote the practice.
The letter is accessible via this link http://fluoridealert
