you may be interested to learn that here in Ireland, the Donegal Democrat ran a front page article on Donegal residents being over-exposed to fluoride.  Urine samples were collected from people in three areas in the county... 72% of the sample were found to have higher than supposed 'safe' levels of fluoride.

The survey was initiated by VOICE Ireland and so you can read the article on their website here: http://voiceireland.org/articles/1610_Donegalstory.html

I can e-mail you a pdf of the front page of the paper if you wish (1.5MB - and the paper misspelled fluoride!).  Or it can be uploaded to the site here if people are interested.

A local radio station picked up on the story and that got attention on Google... so someone in Australia has been on to the radio station about the dangers of fluoride and how we're being overexposed to it.  Now if that kind of networking can happen from one survey of a few people in the NW corner of Ireland... I wonder what would happen if several other communities here (and maybe in fluoridated areas of other countries?) were to have urine levels checked? 

As far as I can see scientific or moral reasons are not going to convince our Minister of Sickness to end fluoridation here.  It will come down to public opinion... or perhaps legal action.  And repeating this kind of urine sampling in different locations could be a very good way to go about shifting public opinion.

Best wishes,
