Water fluoridation
It looks like water fluoridation has had its day. The PDs have a motion calling for a ban on water fluoridation at their party conference today. If this goes through then I have no doubt that Fiona O’Malley will support my report on the subject when it goes to the Health committee next month.
The most recent evidence shows clearly that fluoridated water should not be given to babies as it will cause fluorosis and God knows what else. The FSAI report on this was extremely flawed. I’ll come back to that another time. In the mean time here’s hoping that the PDs have the sense to vote in favour of a ban.
On Thursday I appeared on RTÉ’s Prime Time on the fluoridation issue. You can view the show here.
