Canada - Mayors, councillors do have 'moral right'
Mayors, councillors do have 'moral right'
Posted 21 hours ago
Sir:Regarding fluoridating Sarnia's water supply, Mayor Mike Bradley said, "I don't think we have the moral right to decide."
I was at the fluoride conferences in Toronto, from Aug. 7 to 11 and I can assure your readers that the science that was presented was of high quality. We heard from some eminent scientists, like Dr. Vyvyan Howard, a fetal development expert from Ulster and President of the International Doctors for the Environment; Dr. Susheela, from India, a world expert in researching fluoride's effects on the bone and the gut; and Dr. Jennifer Luke who has done research on fluoride's effects on the pineal gland, which suggests fluoride may cause early puberty in females. In Canada, we do no research on fluoride's effects on the thyroid, kidney and pineal gland, even though fluoride is known to bioaccumulate in these organs.
Health Canada, the Canadian Cancer Society and other organizations were invited to attend, but chose not to. The exception was a scientist from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.
Fortunately, more and more dentists and doctors are becoming aware that the studies have not been done that show water fluoridation to be safe and effective and that the the latest studies from around the world show anything but.
If ever there was a case for using the Precautionary Principle, this is it. Mayors and councillors do have the moral right -- and indeed the moral obligation -- to cease water fluoridation.
