Junior Health Minister responds to fluoride questions

In a major statement on public policy, the Minister with responsibility for fluoridation, Alex White, has finally responded to the 27 detailed questions put to him on the matter three issues ago.

Those who have been following our investigation into the mandatory fluoridation of the water supply in Ireland will be intrigued to see what White has to say, exclusively presented in the new issue of Hot Press.

In the spirit of fairness, we have decided to print the answers in full, without editorial intervention. In recent months, we have given a huge amount of space to the arguments against fluoride. Its defendants are entitled to have their case heard too.

The new issue (National cover) hit shelves today.
