Just heard Radio 4's Today programme which had a 5 minute item about this.

bbc.co.uk/programmes/b083j4...

Date 26/22/16, about 1.45 into the programme - so nearly at the end

Includes Joanne Lomax of the campaign group 'Hull for Pure Water' saying that fluoride is potentially toxic to the body and can cause underactive thyroid.

Severn Trent have been adding fluoride to tap water since the 1970's :(

They aren't the only ones.

I wonder if they have an increased rate of underactive thyroid problems. Or else if they have a reduced rate of overactive thyroid problems - once upon a time it was used to reduce hyperactivity.
