The fluoridation of water in Lake Cowichan’s water supply should not continue, Town of Lake Cowichan councillor Tim McGonigle told council during their Tuesday, October 5 meeting.
“Some say it’s more poisonous than arsenic and can has a negative impact on learning abilities in young children,” he said. “Although fluoride in the 50s and 60s was a good deterrent for tooth decay, do we not have better methods today?”
With Fort Saint John recently taking the injection of fluoride out of their water treatment process, only a few communities in the province continue to follow this practice.
The Town of Lake Cowichan is the only community on Vancouver Island that still injects fluoride into its drinking water.........
