The government finally confirmed they are dropping the plan to add fluoride to our water supply. Seeing this result brings me such relief for the health of our families. We must remain vigilant to ensure they do not try to bring this back later.

The Government is proposing to add fluoride to Northern Ireland's water. Hydrofluorosilicic acid, the chemical used to fluoridate water, is the hazardous waste product from the aluminium and phosphate fertilizer industries. It is scrubbed off the chimneys of the factories and, in the process, gets mixed with other extremely hazardous substances such as uranium, antimony, cadmium, mercury and arsenic.
It is highly toxic and can cause illnesses such as cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, dental and skeletal fluorosis, thyroid problems, infertility, lower IQ, gastrointestinal problems, sarcoidosis. Fluoride is used in rat poison, insecticides, teflon (used in non stick pots and some surgical implants), any drugs containing fluorine such as Prozac and also in Sarin Nerve Gas.
Being forced to drink fluoridated water means that you are being medicated against your will, which is illegal and immoral. The Northern Ireland Government say that it is the most cost effective way to help prevent tooth decay. However as only 1% of water is actually used as drinking water, it would be an enormous waste of money costing millions of pounds at a time of austerity. Moreover, all studies show that fluoride only helps with tooth decay in young children if applied topically ie directly onto the teeth. There is no benefit whatsoever by ingesting it.
The Center for Disease Control and the American Dental Association have both stated that fluoridated water should never be used when making infant formula. Water fluoridation is in breach of over 32 European Union laws and treaties.

My family drinks this water every single day and I refuse to let them be exposed to these toxins. We are approaching the five-hundred signature mark and I need you to get this link in front of your neighbors so we can keep the momentum going.

Seeing the count climb toward one hundred shows that people here refuse to let our water supply be treated with hazardous waste. We need to keep this momentum going strong so we can demand real answers about what ends up in our taps.

The evidence is clear that it causes more harm than good. We have excellent dentists and the public are very aware of the effects of sugar on teath and how to avoid. This is unnecessary and detremental to the healths of the population, we have good water, why pollute it more?
Fluoride is highly toxic and has many adverse effects on our health. Putting it in our drinking water means that we get medicated against our will. It's unethical and most importantly, against our human rights.
Flouride addition to water is toxic, detrimental to health and not a very effective way of administering a drug to a target population (kids who drink sugary drinks and don't drink water any way!)
Water Fluoridation has got to be stopped, few countries have been able to keep this proposal at bay and the South of Ireland is suffering the consequences of 40 years of water Fluoridation!
As someone who lived in the Tandragee area and was forced to use fluoriated water years ago I am appalled that the government is proposing to go down this route again.This was and would be a total infringement of my right to to say NO to this toxic substance being added to the water system.
Fluoride is poisonous to the water . There’s no need to put it in natural water
Under no circumstances should the water we have no choice of drinking be made unsafe for consumption. It is an assault on the people with clear intent to cause harm. The science is settled around the effects of fluoride on the human body. Chemical waste products should be disposed of safely, regardless of the cost The solution is not to dump it in our water supply.

I do not consent to this medication. There is no proven benefit to adding fluoride to drinking water. Adding industrial waste to drinking water should not be allowed. Simple tooth hygiene campaign is sufficient!
