Children and water fluoridation
SIR, — With regard to the decision to add fluoride to Totton's water supply in the fight against childhood tooth decay, is there any evidence to show that children actually drink tap water?
From my knowledge, most schoolchildren prefer canned or fizzy drinks, occasionally bottled water, fruit juice or milk-based drinks; but rarely tap water, tea or coffee.
Fruit squash made with tap water is popular at some family meal times, but most fruit squashes have a very high sugar content.
