Ireland Gripped By Tooth Decay Problem Since Fluoridating Water

A study published by the Journal of the Irish Dental Association has found that Ireland is gripped by a tooth decay problem due to the mass fluoridation of their water supply.  At the end of 2015, Ireland was the only European Union country with a nationwide mandate for water fluoridation. The Fluoridation of Water Supplies Act of 1960 allowed the government to introduce compulsory fluoride in the water supply to 3,250,000 people. Chemical Concern reports: The agent used is hydrofluorosilicic acid.
