The Fluoride Free Water Group has the objective of reversing Ireland's mandatory fluoridation of water which has been in place for over 40 Years.

The fluoride (Hydro Fluoro Silicic Acid) used in Irish drinking water is a cumulative poison i.e. it accumulates in the body, the more one drinks. It is directly linked to 'dental fluorosis' or irreversible tooth enamel damage. Other health problems also linked to this are: increased rates of hip fractures and osteoporosis, lower IQ in children and thyroid disorders. Drinking water usage is the only target of fluoridation.

At present 99% of all water that's fluoridated is poured down the drain or is used for non-drinking purposes and ends up polluting the groundwater. As the government spends over €3 million euros annually to fluoridate water, this money could be better spent on 'real' health projects that are currently being cutback because of the present economic downturn.

We believe compulsory water fluoridation is an 'unreasonable risk to health' and the fluoridation policy must be reversed immediately for health, legal, environmental and financial reasons.

Up to 40 percent of Irish teenagers resident in fluoridated areas have dental fluorosis a permanent condition of mal-formed tooth enamel, which is the first visible sign of excessive fluoride exposure. Fluoride also causes calcium deficiency linked to osteoporosis and weaker bones leading to fracture, especially in old age after a lifetime of exposure to fluoride.

Fluoridation damages enzymes affecting the immune system and puts extra strain on the kidneys in order to excrete it.

Impaired brain development manifested in lower IQ in babies exposed to fluoride has been confirmed by recent research which has implicated depressed thyroid function as a causative factor. Ireland and other fluoridated countries (US, Australia) are now rated as iodine-deficient and underactive thyroid is all the more serious in such areas.

We present a number of disturbing video clips on the dangers and health risks posed by fluoride and persistently ignored by the Irish Government.



In this video, Brent Foster, the State Conservation Chair for the Oregon Sierra Club, explains why he came to oppose water fluoridation in the US (the only country that has been fluoridated longer than Ireland):



Here's a longer video interview (all parts available on YouTube) with Christopher Bryson, an award-winning journalist and former producer at the BBC, who discusses the findings of his new book "The Flouride Deception". "Bryson marshals an impressive amount of research to demonstrate fluoride's harmfulness, the ties between leading fluoride researchers and the corporations who funded and benefited from their research, and what he says is the duplicity with which fluoridation was sold to the people. The result is a compelling challenge to the reigning dental orthodoxy, which should provoke renewed scientific scrutiny and public debate." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY «



I am delighted about how the word is going out about the dangers of fluoride in our drinking water. We have got a new website up (www.fluoridefreewater.ie). As I look today (April 7th 2010) at the comments that people are leaving on their petitions I can see that people are rightfully angry at the fraudulent excuses that the government continues to use to justify poisoning its people!

We want to collect over a 1,000 signatures so if you know of anyone who might like to sign this petition please forward them this URL.

The more signatures we get the sooner we can reverse the current mandatory water fluoridation government policy.
