Fluoridated salt

Professor Jolan Banoczy reports that moves are underway to enhance the provision of fluoridated salt throughout Hungary at a concentration of 250 mg F/kg. Despite the work of K Toth on fluoridated salt, performed in Szeged in the early 1970's which demonstrated the caries-preventive potential of this fluoride vehicle, its general introduction has been delayed due to organisational difficulties and the anti-fluoride lobby.
