Just Water Favourable Option As Fluoridated Water Debate Heats Up

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 12, 2013 - “There is overwhelming expert medical support and evidence in favour of adding fluoride to drinking water” says Waikato District Health Board medical officer of health, Felicity Dumble. “It’s vital that people know the truth about the benefits of fluoride in drinking water, particularly as various city and district councils seek community feedback for and against the issue,” she said. “Fluoride in drinking water at the correct monitored levels can do a lot of good without doing any harm. It really is that simple,” said Dr Dumble.

To back up this opinion, Waikato DHB recently established a webpage with strong evidence that fluoride in drinking water is a safe, effective and affordable way to reduce tooth decay. The Waikato District Health Board answers common questions about fluoride in drinking water, summarises important facts in a short video by the Ministry of Health and offers access to an information-rich presentation by Dr Dumble and principal dental officer, Rob Aitken.

With all this information, water fluoridation would really seem to be a ‘no brainer’ and Dr Dumble is urging the public to use the webpage to remain informed about this sometimes polarising debate. Growing cynicism about the excessive cost of bottled water, combined with increasing concern over water safety and the environmental impact caused by manufacturing and drinking bottled water have made the installation of a home water filter increasingly popular. Add to this the fact that the popular brands of bottled water remove all traces of fluoride from their water.

This is where a Just Water Home Filter system comes in as they leave the fluoride in the water, while producing great tasting water straight from the tap. A filtered water system in the home eliminates the need to buy expensive bottled water, while at the same time providing fluoridated water which can only be of benefit to those drinking it. This is borne out by the number of international, national and local health organisations which support fluoridation, including the Royal Society of New Zealand, the New Zealand Ministry of Health, the New Zealand Children’s Commissioner, the New Zealand Medical Association, the New Zealand Cancer Society and the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society.

With this overwhelming evidence in favour of fluoride in water, the installation of a Just Water Home Filter system is looking more and more to be the favourable option.
