Group Legal Action to Stop Water Fluoridation in UK | Kingfisher Justice

Kingfisher Justice are launching a group legal action to put a halt to water fluoridation in England. They are recruiting claimants to add their name to a letter before action to the UK Government.

UKMFA and The Fluoride Free Alliance in Partnership

UKMFA is joining with The Fluoride Free Alliance UK and other groups worldwide in opposing the addition of fluoride to water on both health and ethical grounds, which already affects 1 in 10 UK residents.  

Adding fluoride to drinking water, as a public health measure to reduce dental decay, amounts to forced mass medication of the UK public and does not allow individuals to exercise their rights to medical choice or informed consent to freely accept or reject all medical interventions.  

As with all medical treatments, fluoride has risks as well as benefits and these risks will be significant, chronic and cumulative over a lifetime when people are exposed to it in their drinking water.

Key Issues:

1. Contrary to misleading marketing, it is not the mineral fluoride that is added to water but a highly toxic fluoride compound, which is a hazardous waste product of other industries.
2. The UK government proposes to increase the concentration of fluoride in water supplies to 1.0 mg/L. This is at the upper limit of the WHO safe recommendation and takes no account of an individual's intake of fluoride from other sources, such as fluoride toothpastes.
3. Published studies are divided over whether or not water fluoridation prevent dental decays, suggesting that it may not even achieve its stated objective.  It has only been claimed to reduce dental extractions for decay by 3%.
4. There is an abundance of scientific evidence demonstrating harm to health from mass fluoridation including increased risk of; Type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, brittle bones, and a reduction in IQ from exposure in the womb and childhood.
5. There are far safer ways of preventing tooth decay than fluoridating the drinking water.
