In 2017 Guy Armstrong spent six months in the New Zealand Health Department archives looking through the fluoridation files of the 1950s. This has given his work a unique aspect which makes it very relevant to countries with F added to their public water supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA number of countries have been under the influence of American expertise and under the influence of the pervasive bias he shows. Any reader with a basic interest in science and health will be fascinated by this comprehensive account.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedia have consistently reported poorly on the fluoridation issue, partly because they did not want to be abused. This book looks at some very detailed aspects of expert and media interaction and behaviour, notably the presupposition of \"objectivity\" which allows the quoting of experts while disclaiming any responsibility to point out contradictions, and not ask uncomfortable or even obvious questions, when an evidence-based attitude would suggest this acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will help journalists, city councillors and the public understand not only the exaggeration of essentiality but the reasons behind it. The role of the sugar, aluminium and toothpaste industries are explored. The public relations industry has a presence here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContains six chapters, many sub-chapters, a detailed reference section, nine appendices, and an index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI can also happily announce that finally an ebook is available!\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.03 x 10.75 x 8.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53008659579187,"sku":"9780473510183","price":44.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/GTCfOUbE-O9780473510183.webp?v=1769677500","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/how-essential-is-fluoride-what-do-the-experts-say-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
