Discussion – Compulsory Water fluoridation: A Response to Rita Barnett-Rose

I have contacted Associate Professor Rita Barnett-Rose about her unpublished paper “Compulsory water fluoridation: justifiable public health benefit or human experimental research without informed consent” (you can read a copy here: http://works.bepress.com/rita_barnett/3/).

I know journalists these days are seriously under pressure, but that doesn't really justify taking a 'press release' from a known activist organisation and running it uncritically ie [...]

Pseudoscience book: Killing us softly

A while back I saw this post spreading around on a couple of Facebook anti-fluoride groups, and noticed people blatantly spreading this as fact when it’s really a bunch of misinformation. "YOU ARE BEING POISONED. I am pleased and sad to announce that my book, "Killing Us Softly: Causes and Consequences of the Global Depopulation [...]
