This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Defer all UK fluoridation plans until the outcome of the US TSCA Trial is clear.
This Federal Court trial seeks to establish that EPA must regulate fluoride ion ppm in US drinking water to remove all unreasonable risks to fetal and infant brain development found at 0.7 ppm. On 7 June NTP's revised report should enable Judge Chen to redirect EPA and Plaintiffs. Follow this case.
More details
New evidence quantifies IQ and functional loss risks - also ADHD /ASD increments - augmented if fluoridated water is used for infant formula in place of breast milk.
All this harm stands against ever more derisory caries restraint via fluoridation since 1975. Topical fluoride in pastes and varnishes plus regular inspections and conservative treatments - free to every Sottish child via ChildSmile - promote real caries reductions.
UK Parliament must ultimately reject blinkered DoH legislation.
