Interesting comments from Daily Mail readers who seem to be on the ball about flouride as usual.

...and full of the usual scientifically-ignorant conspiracy crap, too.

Sorry got the quote wrong, it shoud be as follows

Just because a Daily Mail reader mentioned Tony Blair in a comment does not automatically mean that the reader is referring to a conspiracy. Often the mention of Tony Blair just means that a bad New Labour style nanny state policy is likely to follow.

"The campaign director of the National Pure Water Association, Jane Jones, said: "There will undoubtedly be a huge row about the renewed proposal to add fluoride to the drinking water on a wide scale in the UK.

"This is nanny statism. It is outrageous.

"To medicate the whole population against their will is not the way to deal with tooth decay."

The Green Party is also among those opposing such a move.

Health spokesman Martyn Shrewsbury said: "The general trend in the world is against fluoridation.

"It's quite incredible that Tony Blair would want to fluoridate Britain".

He said this proposal would be against medical ethics as a patient must give consent to medication under the European Convention of Human Rights."
