I object strongly to the UK government's plans in putting fluoride into the water system. OK some areas have it naturally while other areas have had Fluoride already in the system. It isn't the fluoride that I am bothered just the short sightedness of many in this debate. While fluoride will probably improve dental health for many surely a change in diet and better dental hygiene will do more? Or does this mean we have the best of both worlds' in that people can eat sugary foods AND have good teeth?

I can't believe that the UK public is so dumb and lazy over this - many voice concerns over their kids health....fine, then do something about it like banning the consumption of fizzy pop and all the crap that they eat.

C'mon everyone, take responsibility huh? It is up to US to take care of our family's health and not big brother.
