Canada - Fluoride Debate in Owen Sound

There’s a movement in Owen Sound to stop putting fluoride in the water. City council’s Operations Committee held a public meeting last night to hear both sides of the story.Those for fluoridation, like Grey Bruce Medical Officer of Health Doctor Hazel Lynn, say it’s a debate that’s long since been solved. She says fluoride reduces tooth decay and gum disease, especially for lower income people, as well as saving the health care 

system big money. 
Those against fluoridation say it’s a matter of choice and quote studies suggesting fluoride is unhealthy.
The operations committee will recommend to Owen Sound council whether to put the question of water fluoridation on the municipal election ballot next fall.
