Push For Fluoride in Bottled Water!!!
I have just read this article in the NZ Uncensored Magazine by Kelly Burke and am shocked by this!
"Bottled water may soon contain an additive the beverage industry and health experts have lobbied for in unison: fluoride.
After concluding there were no public health and safety concerns, Food Standards Australia New Zealand has called for submissions to show why the authority shouldn't approve an application by the Australian Beverages Council to add fluoride to bottled water.
The move has the support of the peak dentists' body. the Australian Medical Association, and the Public Health Association of Australia among others.
Approval of the voluntary addition of fluoride is being considered with the proviso the maximum level of one milligram per litre is adhered to, in line with the existing level for fluoridated tap water. The bottled water would also be subject to mandatory labelling.
Here is their website should you wish to contact them for further info or to object or to make a submission.
