Get the latest science and news on fluoride.
On the first official day of the Thames fluoridation referendum campaign, eye-scorching fluorescent signs proliferated around town proclaiming all sorts of emotive nonsense. It was the opening salvo in the arsenal of misinformation foisted on our community over the weeks until November 5th. When Thames Coromandel District Council began to review fluoridation back in 2012, [...]

We have had plenty of gish gallopers on the Making Sense of Fluoride Facebook page and dealing with one is usually a waste of time. You would spend many long hours reading and then debunking materials. Rinse and repeat. Sometimes if you are quick enough you get a nice win. The Gish Gallop [...]
A satirical view of the TGAF by Mick Flavin. At first, it sounded like the plot of a particularly funny episode of the “Big Bang Theory”...
