We the people of Australia call for an end to the fluoridation of our nations' water supplies.

Fluoride goes to everyone regardless of age, health or vulnerability. The dose cannot be controlled because people drink different amounts of water - the highest doses of fluoride are going to bottle-fed babies.

Over 4,000 professionals have signed a statement calling for an end to water fluoridation worldwide. More and more studies indicate that fluoride can interfere with biochemistry in fundamental ways.

Any benefit to the teeth is through topical application and is achieved via toothpaste - Sodium fluorosilicate is a

toxin that should not be ingested. Tooth decay was already coming down before fluoridation started, and does not go up when fluoridation is stopped.

Please stop the non-consensual medication of your people with a known toxin.

Fact is that in countries where they don't fluoridate drinking water, their rates of tooth decay are no more or less than countries where they do.

Good dental hygiene and good diet reduces tooth decay.

All the flouride in the world in the drinking water won't combat rotting teeth due to bad bad diet and bad dental hygiene.

I wanted to add this link:

Fluoridation by country:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoridation_by_country

Europe Many European countries have rejected water fluoridation in general. This includes: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland,[36] Scotland[37] Iceland, and Italy.[citation needed] A 2003 survey of over 500 Europeans from 16 countries concluded that "the vast majority of people opposed water fluoridation".[38]
