Reviews

"This volume will quickly become the most trusted compendium of evidence and argument critical of fluoridation worldwide - and quite right too." The Scientific & Medical Network - Feb 2011 "If you are interested in the fluoride debate you should read this book. However, more importantly, if you are disinterested in the fluoridation of drinking water or are strongly pro-fluoridation, you must also read it." Caduceus - February 2011
