Fluoridation case is blown out of water by dental data
by Jon Reeve BLOWN out of the water That is what campaigners fighting plans to add fluoride to Hampshire water supplies say new dental health figures have done to health bosses' justification for the scheme. A survey of five-year-olds across England has found Southampton children suffer barely any more tooth decay than the national average. The research found the number of five-year-olds in the city who have had problems with their teeth has fallen dramatically, as has the average number of diseased teeth. With Southampton's poor record on youngsters' dental health given as one of the main reasons it is necessary to fluoridate the water supplies of nearly 200,000 residents, opponents now say there is no reason to go ahead with the scheme. |

Media Release, 8 September 2008, South Central SHA's fluoride proposal fails the “cogency” test |

***Immediate Release*** South Central SHA's fluoride proposal fails the “cogency” test South Central SHA has failed to make a cogent case for their proposal for Southern Water to add tonnes of fluorosilicic acid annually to the drinking water supplies of 200,000 people in Southampton and Southwest Hampshire. The health authority is unable to cite one high-quality scientific study to justify its plan, but, under Department of Health Guidelines, will require objectors to meet a “cogency” threshold during its fluoridation consultation, which starts today. |

NPWA News Release: Hampshire MPs pledge to put fluoridation decision on hold in Southampton, 10 June 2009 |

| Hampshire Campaigners hand-in a letter to the
Department of Health in Whitehall, London |
Yesterday, opponents of fluoridation met in Westminster to discuss the South Central Strategic Health Authority’s decision to fluoridate the water supplies of nearly 200,000 people in the Southampton and South West Hampshire area. Campaigners from Hampshire Against Fluoridation were able to cite 15,348 objections to the fluoridation plan from the local area. If implemented, Southampton and environs will become the first area of the UK to fluoridate following a law change in 2003. The Water Act 2003 gives health chiefs the power to instruct water companies to mass medicate their customers with fluorosilicic acid via their water supplies. The Southampton case is seen widely as a ‘test case’ which will significantly influence the decisions of other Strategic Health Authorities around the country. Opponents of fluoridation, including a contingent of some 35 concerned citizens from Hampshire Against Fluoridation were hosted by the All Party Parliamentary Group Against Fluoridation. Present were three Hampshire MPs, |
