AS the fluoride issue has surfaced again, I would like to ask the pro-fluoride lobby one question: If their next-door neighbour had a headache from too much beer the night before, would they take tablets to cure their neighbour's headache?

The answer is obviously no.

So why should the majority of the population take medication for the few who do not look after their teeth?

I also note in the press that scientists have evidence that where fluoride has been added to the water, it is doing no good because most people are drinking bottled water.
