UK Against Fluoridation

I note at the same time that the UK government is pushing for tap water to be fluoridated everywhere that there is also a big campaign to discredit bottled spring water.
TV Panorama programme last night was on bottled water trying to get everyone to stop drinking it. The programme did admit £millions are being spent by government departments on bottled spring water. MPs are not as stupid as they appear as the restaurants at Westminster have been supplying them with taxpayer subsidised bottled spring water for many years.
No doubt bottled spring water is wasteful but no more wasteful than most other human activities and not half as bad as selling rubbish like Coca Cola. If tap water could be trusted to be free from all unnecessary added harmful chemicals like fluoride, chlorine and aluminium there would not be the market for so much bottled spring water.
In a free market economy is allowed to sell any legitimate product and bottled spring water is just in competition with all the other soft drinks sold in throw away plastic or aluminium containers.
The campaign against bottled spring water is just one more shabby action pushed by the pro-fluoridation lobby. Note also that the media is refusing to publish most of the letters they receive opposing water fluoridation.
