Who Are We?
We're a recently formed association representing grass roots and professional people campaigning for better water quality in Australia.
Issues for debate include:
- Does fluoridation reduce dental decay?
- Discussion of latest Australian research: Armfield JM, Spencer AJ. Consumtion of nonpublic water: implications for children's caries experience. Community Dent Oral Epidemiol 2004; 32: 283-96.
The authors find NO BENEFIT of fluoridation in permanent teeth! - Is fluoridation of water with industrial waste safe for human consumption?
- What are the dangers of these chemicals to the human body and the environment?
- What is the incidence and significance of dental and skeletal fluorosis?
- How is the level of fluoridation monitored?
- Is the safety margin for children and sensitive individuals adequate?
- Why are there so few countries practicing fluoridation?
- What countries have discontinued fluoridation and why?
- Do communities have the right to informed consent before their water supplies are fluoridated?
