UK Against Fluoridation

Marathon fluoride debate takes over city hall

CALGARY (660 NEWS) – Dozens of people for and against fluoride in our water descended on City Hall Tuesday.
Members of a city committee heard results from a survey on whether fluoride should be added back into the city’s water supply.
The decision to remove it came in 2011 but it came under fire from several dentists. The University of Calgary also noted there has been an increase in tooth cavities since the change.
Opponents of fluoride argue there needs to be more research into its negative effects.
In Feb. 2019, city council approved a study from the University of Calgary O’Brien Institute of Health to examine the pros and cons of fluoridation.
The study showed fluoride in the water would help reduce cavities, especially with children.
Calgarians have voted in favour of fluoride in two previous plebiscites before council struck down the idea in 2011.

Should the City of Calgary be putting fluoride in its water supply?
