Daily Echo - Sponsor offer not the real thing for children's teeth

Sponsor offer not the real thing for children's teeth
THE council used to be ever so concerned about children's teeth.
Dental health was so important that they supported the fluoridation of water supplies on this basis alone, putting aside fears on what fluoride might do elsewhere in the body
Upon receipt of an offer by Coca-Cola to pay for the recycling bins the council should be paying for themselves, concern for children's teeth seems to have gone out of the window, as Coca-Cola have been allowed to advertise their sugar and chemical-packed drinks all over town.
Why have the Primary Care Trust and local dentists remained silent on this?
