“Tooth decay is a hygiene issue.”
A number of things cause tooth decay and we at MSoF don’t disagree with this. But the evidence is clear that fluoridation helps either way

“interview Dr John Colquhoun 1998”
He died in 1999, I doubt he would be able to keep up with the latest research.
Plus there is this which debunked a lot of his misinfomation: http://www.dentalwatch.org/fl/newbrun.html

“To quote Chistopher Bryson”
Who isn’t a scientist. I suggest using respected health organisations instead, like the ones we list above. Instead of people who twist the facts and scaremonger.

Don’t confuse it with the pro-fluoride propoganda. Look on you tube for the video “Fluoride in New Zealand interview Dr John Colquhoun 1998″. The research in NZ has already been done!

Actually there was debate around this article and this was just an opinion piece. I can’t remember if we wrote anything about this piece though, we were going to. Seafood has high levels of fluoride which they ate.
Either way I doubt people would want to go eat traditional maori meals 24/7.

Pre-European New Zealanders apparently had good teeth. Very little decay. Was there any discussion of the politics of that?
