Protestors against fluoridation in Southampton today.

WAVING placards and shouting their slogans, more than a hundred people made their message loud and clear: no to water fluoridation.

Demonstrators were gathering outside the Guildhall Square inSouthampton this afternoon as part of their long running battle against plans to add the chemical to drinking water in Southampton, Eastleigh,Totton, Netley and Rownhams.

But Hampshire Against Fluoridation are calling for the proposed scheme - aimed at improving dental health - to be scrapped. They believe it will actually cause more dental problems and health risks.
