Pat ,Hilly and anyone in the UK,
This has to be a step too far. We are learning to avoid tap water now so they are putting it in Childrens milk,in schools.
Quote:
A study carried out in Scotland, where a similar scheme is in place, showed that decay rates fell by 48 per cent among five- and 10-year-olds drinking the treated milk.
John Green, a consultant in dental public health at the Sheffield health authority, said fluoride in milk was a "fall back" in areas where the water supply had not yet been treated.
"Levels of tooth decay are high in the area and you have to do something to reduce levels of disease. Anything we can do to help children is important."
