Sodium Fluoride
The latest Dental Ass figures on Fluoride according to Ministry of Health with graphs shows no difference in caries in fluoridated and non fluoridated areas. So why are they planning shortly to put toxic sodium fluoride in all NZ water supplies. If you really want to know more then go listen to Prof. Paul Connett who will be talking in the Cafler Suite, Forum North, tonight at 5.30pm Mon 12th feb. The Dr on DHB admits it will be enormously expensive but they have to follow Govt. guidelines. 97% of European countries have thrown fluoride out as it does not help but causes enormous health problems. Scotland whose children teeth were far worse than ours followed Denmark (according to WHO have lowest rate caries in the world) at have totally turned this around with millions in savings on dental costs.

Prof. Paul Connett is one of the worlds leading authorities on sodium fluoride. Do look up Childsmile see for yourself.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
