LINCOLN MP REFUSED FLUORIDE TREATMENT
Former Lincoln MP Gillian Merron would not take one milligram of fluoride, it has emerged.
At her regular surgery the MP was given the
opportunity to take one of these pills, containing the same amount as one litre of
the water used to treat Lincoln inhabitants.
The suggestion that she consume the pink tablet appeared to horrify Ms Merron.
She kept giving it back.
Lincoln's former Member of Parliament apparently accepted that the chemical was identical to that drunk by Lincoln voters every day.
She refused point blank to take it.
Apparently she will drink Lincoln's water. But she won't take fluoride in a form that she can see.
The two things are pretty much the same. One milligram of fluoride is one milligram of fluoride, isn't it?
When pressed to explain her position she just giggled nervously and I was ushered out.
The fluoride-deficient MP for Lincoln from 1997 to 2010 spent most of it remote from her constituents, in unfluoridated London.
Lincoln's treatment began in 1970 after twenty City Councillors voted by a majority of one to give everybody fluoride, which was pollution from a local fertiliser factory.
Fluoridated people consume between 10 and 40 tablets a week, with bottle-fed babies consuming up to 150 times more than breast-fed.
90% of the UK population are unfluoridated. But...
Adding industrial waste to people does not reduce tooth decay, but does lower their intelligence, increase the incidence of lead poisoning and make their teeth look funny.
Does today's MP accept our equally expert opinion about their fluoride deficiency?
We hope a local journalist with 1mg will go to check this when not too busy churning out PR stories about RAF bombers as well as keeping up with ground-based routine mindless Lincoln violence.
And it would be interesting to get your MP's reaction to our equally valid decision to top up their fluoride.
Back in the 1980s the only publicly available fluoridation map of the Lincoln Division was on paper. And it was released not by Anglian Water, but by us.
Today Anglian Water customers' fluoridatedness is available online along with the further adventures of Gillian Merron. Or go deeper.
Be warned, though. The average levels shown can easily conceal overfeeds. Local spikes and seriously out-of-line readings might even be discounted for statistical purposes.
Anglian also says the treatment is for water, by which they hope to mislead both you and themselves. Water doesn't have any teeth.
