ACCORDING to media reports, Public Health England, directed by Professor John Newton, are now aggressively pushing for the implementation of nationwide water fluoridation, following their newly published, deeply flawed “health monitoring” review declaring it to be safe and effective, despite overwhelming scientific evidence of serious harm to health and the recent classification of fluoride as a developmental neurotoxin.

Perhaps PHE would like to explain to us how a fuming, corrosive chemical like hexafluorosilicic acid, that eats through concrete and steel, can be instantly transformed in dilution to the miraculous saviour of tooth enamel?

The answer, of course, is that dental fluorosis, so readily dismissed by PHE as of merely “aesthetic concern”, is, in fact, pits and holes in the tooth enamel, eroded over time by the fuming acid that is added to public water supplies for the dubious benefit of preventing tooth decay.

So please, Public Health England, stop meddling with our teeth, our thyroids, our bones, our kidneys, and above all, our babies’ brains. We don’t need your toxic fluoride.
