So why is NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE FACT that current research shows that prenatal and early life chronic fluoride exposure has been found to be associated with ADHD, especially in a country where drinking water is fluoridated by LAW enacted by legislation passed by the Dáil.

All political parties and independent candidates in Ireland in #GE2020 are saying that #health is major focus of their policies.

It is estimated #ADHD may affect up to one in five 9 yr olds in Ireland. ADHD has been the focus of a great deal of research & it is associated with increased risk of depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, and drug abuse.

I have to get this off my chest. This morning I went to collect a new bicycle from #Halfords in Cork. I had a 3yr old with me who desperately needed to pee. They refused to allow use of staff toilet, because its not allowed for CUSTOMERS, who PAY their salaries #empathy #society

#GE2020 Im middle aged with young family and this will be the 10th generall election I will caste my vote on in EIRE. I want real change in policies to protect vulnerable, society and environment and im sick to death of FG/FF.

Its about time. But did you know that co-exposure to #fluoride and #chlorpyrifos results in enhanced toxicity. Raina et al. Biol Trace Elem Res. 2015, 166:157–162; Baba et al. Proc Indian Natl Sci Acad B Biol Sci 2014, 84: 969-972. Its time we banned water #fluoridation also.https://twitter.com/foe_us/status/1223687466219134978 …

END MANDATORY #FLUORIDATION in the Republic of #Ireland, Bring us into line with EVERY OTHER #EU NATION STATE.

that low to moderate fluoride exposure is contributing to the pathogenesis of liver and kidney disorders, metabolic syndrome and sleep disorders in adolescents. You were informed of these studies and you have done NOTHING to protect the welfare of Irish citizens.

And YOUR Policy of mandating fluoridation of drinking water is directly contributing to these inequalities. Since this study was published several epidemiological studies have confirmed that in addition to lowering IQ and increasing susceptibility to ADHD in children;

In addition to colon (10% higher); breast (8% higher); cervix uteri (6% higher); and stomach (4% higher) in the Republic of Ireland compared to Northern Ireland.

diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (26% higher) and cancer, including malignant neoplasms of the ovary (23% higher), prostate (19% higher); pancreas (18% higher); uterus (18% higher); skin (16% higher); oesophagus (15% higher); lymph/haematopoietic tissue (12% higher);

mental and behavioural disorders (53% higher), chronic lower respiratory disease (44% higher), asthma (34%), diseases of the kidney and ureter (27% higher);

heart diseases including acute pericarditis, acute and subacute endocarditis, acute myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, conduction disorders, cardiac dysrhythmias and heart failure (88% higher);
