Flouride


Young people in my town don't drink water, they drink soft drink. They do this because the water smells of chlorine and tastes bad. Their teeth suffer from the sugar in their favourite drink. Health officials propose to put flouride into the drinking water to strengthen those teeth, but the 'target audience' isn't drinking the water and the plan won't work. A far better idea is to provide clean, good tasting water that children will drink. Let's look to the cause, not just treat the symptom.
