9:10am Saturday 10th December 2011 in Fluoride
Southampton residents are having fluoride put in their water against their “expressed wishes”, the House of Lords has been told.
The decision-making process was branded “pretty terrible” by a peer who accused health bosses of “misstatements”.
Earl Baldwin’s comments came as members of the House of Lords raised fears over costs, evidence and local consent before any fluoridation takes place.
The peers were discussing proposals which will transfer power over consultations on fluoridation to local authorities, which will be put out to consultation in the new year.
The Government admitted there were “a great range of views” on the matter and insisted decisions should be taken by local councils, not regional health bodies.
Earl Baldwin, a cross-bench hereditary peer, asked Government whip Baroness Northover to set up a neutral body to rule on the evidence next time another city considers fluoridation.
He said: “Some of the misstatements during the Southampton consultation were pretty terrible.”
He went on to criticise Strategic Health Authorities, the regional bodies that were put in charge of deciding whether fluoride should be added to water.
He said: “The problem with the unelected SHAs was – is – that they almost inevitably reflected the dominant medical view.
“Fluoridation was a classic case of premature consensus, on weak evidence from the 1950s and 1960s, and it became a kind of sacred cow, resistant to new evidence.”
The Strategic Health Authority had decided to fluoridate Southampton “against the expressed wishes of its population”, he said, pointing to comments by one expert who described the process as a “religion”.
In September, Southampton city councillors voted to oppose the controversial plans after a campaign by opponents of the scheme forced the matter to be debated in the council chamber.
And they agreed to use any future powers to prevent the implementation of a proposed fluoridation scheme by health chiefs.
After a successful legal challenge, South Central SHA is working with Southern Water to determine how fluoride will be added, after defeating a High Court legal challenge. Nearly 200,000 people in parts of Southampton, Eastleigh, Totton, Netley and Rownhams will be affected by the plans.
Baroness Northover pointed to a study in 2000 that found that adding fluoride to water did decrease the risk of tooth decay.
There were also claims that councils would not be willing to push ahead with fluoridation if they did not get the financial benefits from any improvement in public health.
Labour peer Lord Hunt, the president of the British Fluoridation Society, warned that if local authorities do not have a direct interest in the cost of dental health care, it could be a barrier to them paying out on fluoridation schemes.
But Baroness Northover said councils would be compensated for the costs.

The scientific peer-reviewed evidence of the harm fluoride causes in the whole body is extensive, compelling and beyond reasonable doubt.
The SHA have deliberately been extremely selective in the dental evidence they have based their decision on and have completely ignored all the rest of the whole-body detriment that fluoride causes.
While I take your point on MMR, with fluoride we don't have "one misinformed person" - just one undemocratic, misinformed and suborn SHA, who don't have the scientific qualifications analyse the depth of data that does exist.
And, as a precautionary tale, perhaps you may remember the nvCJD debacle. How many eminent scientists continually told us "beef is safe"? It wasn't though, was it? In the case of fluoride there is nowhere near the same scientific consensus that fluoride is safe, indeed the volume of evidence as to its detriment is considerable.
So, just on the basis of the Precautionary Principle if nothing else, it would be wise to keep this chemical out of our water supplies.

If the SHA 'have been deliberately selective in the dental advice they have based their decision on' as you claim, could it possibly be that you have also been selective in the articles that you read on which you have based your conclusions?
Something tells me that the SHA would have greater resources, both in manpower and finance, that they would use to reach their conclusions.
With regard nvCJD. It was government research that identified the cause, and ensured that animal remains were not fed to cattle. To the best of my knowledge, it was not government scientists that said that it was OK to do this, but probably some commercial company that saw it as a cheap way of making a fast buck.

The difference being that those who do not want to use it do not have it forced down their throats, and I do mean forced. Still I guess it's good news if you sell bottled water.
freefinker, your statement "flouiride (sic) in water supplies has had an effect in reducing dental caries" is a major understatement along the lines of "Nagasaki was a large bomb" or 'Chalotte Church is quite pretty.'
Large levels of fluoride salts reduce the incidence of dental problems massively. Whether they have other effects is another matter which is not being considered here.
Perhaps we should introduce bromide salts to the water supply in the hope of (in 30 years) reducing our incidence of morons?

While there IS a small decline in caries, and it is small according to the latest data, there is also a large increase in dental fluorosis - so, the net incidence of 'dental problems' is far from a reduction.

These days extracting teeth for SOME of the shady ones in this profession is becoming the trick of the trade
.
With the introduction of paying privateers out of NHS for other medical treatments (Unfortunately the thatcherite policy introduced by unprincipled shamelessly closet conservatives the NuLabourites who have hijacked the party of great socialist Bevan) this disease of professional greed could spread into other parts of health care, as in some cases it happens in other places. For example a doctor friend of mine in India told me how disturbingly large number in his profession are making mega money through such scandals
.
Apart from many other reasons possibility of such shameful money minting loopholes are also the reasons why whole of health care should be directly provided by the NHS. So that professionals get a set wage and there is no chance for some shady characters to make profits.

You really need to look at the evidence that is right before your eyes.
Australia - the Greens have just proposed to add to the Medicare levy in order to raise enough ash to try and deal with the huge increase in tooth decay - and they most of Australia has been fluordated for over 50 years? Tell me that water fluoridation works - bullshite!
And - we are paying a leading player for fluoridation to find out why tooth decay in Australia is on the rise - irrespective of water fluoridation - Professor John Spencer what a dill he is but the government is a bigger dill for paying him several millions of dollars to research this.
And look at the problem with tooth decay in the USA - mainly in fluoridated areas.

Politicans want you to feel DISEMPOWERED that is the real reason they do it just to say 'you will do as we say'.just so that you are supposed to shut up and behave like some puppet.

Having spoken to some of my friends in conservatised NuLabour, I could not extract the names of those who voted for or sat on their hands. So I am trying to find which ones of my former colleagues want to force feed poison to the people and have publically said so and which cowards are playing both sides

I am told that virtually all the Tory Councillors voted against, so we opposed to this idea were virtually betrayed by our own side.

They really did shame themselves as a group.

On looking into my past health I discovered that a similar condition occured when I was in the Newcastle area, which was fluoridated in 1968. I am already making plans to move to Kent should the local Health Authority decide to poison me.

You really need to look at the evidence that is right before your eyes.
Australia - the Greens have just proposed to add to the Medicare levy in order to raise enough ash to try and deal with the huge increase in tooth decay - and they most of Australia has been fluordated for over 50 years? Tell me that water fluoridation works - bullshite!
And - we are paying a leading player for fluoridation to find out why tooth decay in Australia is on the rise - irrespective of water fluoridation - Professor John Spencer what a dill he is but the government is a bigger dill for paying him several millions of dollars to research this.
And look at the problem with tooth decay in the USA - mainly in fluoridated areas.
If you can't see this your name must be "Blind Freddie".
I have no idea about tooth decay in any specific areas of the USA, but it is significantly less in the Midlands here where fluoride has been in the water for half a century.
I do not have to look to all parts of the globe to see what some anti-flouride group thinks, and if I did, I would not now in what proportions they dilute the fluoride, I only need to look to the Midlands and the proven benefits.

To Paramjit Bahia - most councillors voted NOT to add the Fluoride. 70% there abouts. The stupid councillors that think it is OK to pioson you were mostly Labour. A few abstained.
Adrian Monk - animals will be affected go to youtube and search for Fluoride problems in California. Animals were getting really sick. There are some sickening sights of how bad horses are getting and I mean change of personality. They would not touch the water and prefered the snow till owners figured out what was going on.
Read this page about various scientific studies about ALL the bad effects about Fluoride;
http://www.all-natur

Fluoride affects your thyroid, eosteoporosis, maybe rickets, arthuritis,as well as fluorosis of the teeth.
Read the HAF;

spot.com/
for more info.
ALL because the big Fluoride producing companies must be giving millions to the various political groups.
Next time you buy fertilizer, or some aluminium product think about the fluoride gases, that was produced.

Hi PEOPLE time to dispell some myths!! "you need to be able to afford the bottled water to be able to use it for you baby's or babies' bottles" - just remeber you can take off the cost of filtering and take it off your water bill. Read the councils against fluoride web site. There s A LOT of info there. http://www.ukcaf.org / "Also have they proved that the flouride won't end up in breast milk or harm unborn children- including the effects of any contaminants that come with it by accident as apparently it will be another industry's waste that will be the source of flouride (apparently unlike in touthpaste)?" Breast milk has the fluoride level .004. so nature does a great filtering job. "This fluoride scare is very similar. The vast majority of the anti-brigade have little or no knowledge of the subject, and take every scare story as the gospel truth." you are the one that does not read anything. Campaigners are the ones that ARE BETTER read than you are. We do NOT take every story as gospel at all. There is a huge pile of good info. out there you just have to find it and read it. Have you watched the fluoride lecture that Professor Connett and did an the book he wrote?? "There are children that are suffering the after effects of Mumps, Measles and Rubella because their parents listened to one misinformed person and did not permit their children to have the MMR vaccination." Do you mean the mental retardation problems kids had and still have? Would want your kid to go from being the average noisy kid to one that could not hold its head or talk straight within 24 hrs after injection? I saw the documentaries yrs ago and got a bit sus then, as I never got all my vaccinations as a kid as my health suffered a lot then. But whooping cough was around then, I never got vaccinated against that either my system could not handle it at the age of 3. Several doctors over the years have been concerned about giving three vacinations at once to a child that does not have muuch of an immune system in the first place. Better educated parents either went looking for the single jabs and got better results, or waited till their kids were a bit older so that they HAD an immune system - (which is the better way to go if you decide you want your kids to have vaccination.) The REAL story is there are a lot more autistic kids around now than there ever was the numbers have risen consistently, but this government and the pharmacuetical industries do NOT WANT you to know the truth other wise there would be more class action suites. they dont want that now do they?? The bottom line here is look after your immune system your self stop beleiving in what you are told do your own research there is plenty of good info out there.

Will they now get an overdose? Can you use mineral (bottled) water for making up baby milk or does it have too many minerals (not every mum can breast feed- some for medical reasons outside their control)? What about the extra expense of bottle water on parents/pregnant women with low incomes? Will they get free safe water to protect their babies or will it have to come out of the family's food money? Probably the later. What about babies outside the target areas who will unknown to their parents get flourinated water because they can't target it properly, which was in a previous news report in the Echo. Everyone who will even accidentally get flourinated water needs to know in case such water is unsuitable or even dangerous for them and their household, whatever species they may be (i.e. including pets). They should be required to contact each household personally and not rely on newpaper reports. Also what of the waste of money on the public consultation when they had no intention of abiding by the result (unless they get the result they want of course)?
