Fluoridation is also implicated in Alzheimers and Dementia. One in five Irish adults suffer from IBS according to a survey presented in June 1998, but no research has looked at the links between it and the fact that many Irish people under the age of 35 have been drinking fluoridated water all their lives. Many of these allergic symptoms can be reversed relatively quickly by switching to non-fluoridated water. Evidence from the USA has shown that fluoride levels in rivers may be a factor in dwindling salmon stocks. There is no research in Ireland investigating the relationship between over 3 decades of fluoridation and Ireland's dramatically reduced wild salmon numbers.
Water fluoridation goes against the notion of consumer choice.
Fluoridation is untested and unproven mass medication and as everyone swallows different amounts of water the dose of fluoride is uncontrolled. If you want to end fluoridation please contact the Minister for Health and Children, Department of Health and Children, Hawkins House, Dublin 2.
