End Fluoridation, Say 500 Physicians, Dentists, Scientists.

Isn't flouride a poison?

Yes, and the type of fluoride added to Irish water, hydrofluosilicic acid, is one of the most toxic substances known to science. More toxic than toothpaste fluoride (sodium fluoride aka rat poison).

But don't worry, the Irish people will swallow anything.

No, it depends on cold hard facts.
Drinking tea and coffee is a personal choice, ingesting poison fluoride is not a choice, it is being forced on us.

True, but you also have to ingest chlorine from your water which is also a poison. So what's the deal with that?

Chlorination is a crude way of preventing waterborne infections. There are better, healthier ways to do that, but Irish authorities are too poor or too incompetent to do them.

There is no such excuse for fluoridation. It is just the slow poisoning of the whole population on the basis of scientific fraud.

Fluoridation in Ireland is now kept going by James Reilly's eagerness to copy Micheal Martin, culpable ignorance, and refusal to examine the facts. See:
Water Fluoridation: 4 May 2011: Written answers (KildareStreet.com)

Is there anyone, apart from Reilly and Martin, who believes the gobbledygook utterances of the "Expert Body" (see above reply from the Minister's office)? Not one of them is an expert on fluoride.

Here is an expert, the best-qualified toxicologist in Ireland:

We've been over this ground many times before Soubresaut. I just wanted to point out to "Irish Tom" that the "enforced medication" and "it's a poison" arguments are weak because we actually rely on chemicals like Chlorine to kill bugs in drinking water and these chemicals are poisons themselves (in certain concentrations obviously). And we have no choice but to ingest them.

There is scientific justification for chlorination, but not for fluoridation.

You think the "enforced medication" and "it's a poison" arguments are weak? Do you really think there's not much wrong with forcing everyone in the population to ingest unmeasured amounts of a deadly, cumulative poison?
