'No safe level of fluoride' in water, Liberal Democrat Conference, UK
Delegates attending a fringe meeting at the Bournemouth conference were told by Doug Cross, an independent environmental consultant and forensic ecologist, that fluoride was a "very dangerous substance... the most reactive element" and it could have potentially lethal effects on the human body.
Mr Cross also argued that any attempts by the government to introduce fluoride into the water system based on health benefits were severely flawed and that there was little scientific evidence to back-up any claims.
However, critics of the debate, including a dentist, argued that the introduction of fluoride would be one way of improving children's dental health and could help save the NHS thousands.
A number of delegates also believed that the matter of fluoridation should be debated in the main conference so that the Liberal Democrats can present a clear policy on the subject.
