THE chances of fluoride being added to tap water in Sheffield and the rest of South Yorkshire seemed remote today after the city council reaffirmed its objections.
Councillors voted 57 to 14 against the addition of fluoride to Yorkshire Water supplies in a free vote at a full meeting of Sheffield Council.
Health authorities are unlikely to proceed with a fluoride project without the backing of the council.
Some Labour councillors spoke in favour of its addition, arguing the benefit in dental health outweighed any risks.
Labour's Tony Damms said fluoride had been added to tap water in some parts of the USA for almost 60 years without any legal claims against it.
Colleague Peter Price and cabinet member for education Coun Angela Smith also spoke in favour.
But another Labour councillor, Jean Cromar, said: "Tooth decay is not a fluoride deficiency disease but the result of poor dental hygiene and a generally faulty diet, mainly an over consumption of sugar."

With any luck then this silly scheme to contaminate the City's water supply with mass medication has been sunk...

Errr.....this is not the same as saying it is safe :suspect:

I'm pleased that the Council listened to their constituents for a change.

I cannot believe 14 people would think its actually a good idea!

We have flouride in toothpaste. This is what we use to keep our teeth healthy. PAH!

People experimented with flouride as a subtle mind control technique during the war.

Nobody has complained about the water in america, because they have been told not too.

Is this the same reason bush is still in power ;)

Thank goodness for that :clap:
