Written Answers - Fluoridation Studies.

John Gormley

Ceist:

195 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will give details of all studies referred to by his Department which highlight the positive or negative aspects of fluoridation. [4648/98]

The most authoritative source of information on this issue is the World Health Organisation. The most recent review on fluorides was published in 1994. This is available as WHO — Technical Report Series 846. It can be obtained at Distribution and Sales, World Health Organisation, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland.

This publication gives an overview of all concerns relating to fluorides together with references for the relevant studies.
