CONGRATULATIONS to Bolton Council for their recent re-affirmation that they oppose the fluoridation of our water supplies, and shame on IJ Burns, chairman of Bolton Local Dental Committee, for once more pushing the myth that fluoride is beneficial to our health.
Mr Burns and his colleagues know full well that the way to good dental health is by education and diet.
It is worth remembering that Mr Burns and his colleagues are employed by the Health Authority, and that the Health Authority is in favour of fluoridation of the water supply.
The people of Bolton have shouted loud and clear that they DO NOT want fluoride in their drinking water.
Mr Burns can purchase fluoride for his own drinking water now if he wishes, but he should respect other peoples opinions too and leave our drinking water fluoride-free.
Mrs Walker
Bolton
