FLUORIDE ACTION NETWORK Dear FAN Supporter:
There was also a big victory in Canada this week, which has heartened fluoridation fighters throughout Ontario and the rest of Canada! On Monday the City Council in Orillia, Ontario voted 7-2 not to fluoridate a city of over 30,000. The local district health unit and the city staff recommended Orillia fluoridate its water, but councilors sided with citizens and decided to “err on the side of caution” by not adding the toxic chemical to their drinking water. According to Councilor Andrew Hill: “[Fluoridation] really takes away freedom of choice. The majority of people I’ve talked to in my ward do not want it.” WICHITA RESIDENTS READY FOR FLUORIDE DEBATE The national dental lobby is at it again, working to force fluoridation on communities that have opposed the practice in the past. This time their target is Wichita, Kansas, which is among the 10 largest U.S. cities without fluoridation. This past fall a national coalition of fluoridationists launched a campaign to force fluoridation on the city, calling the practice a “no-brainer”; although I doubt they were referring to the 26 studies that show an association of lowered IQ caused by fluoride exposure. When their call for fluoridation was ignored, they decided to find local dentists and health officials to tow the line, creating Wichitans for Healthy Teeth. This pro-fluoride group has been collecting petition signatures from local health care providers who want forced fluoridation, which they plan on presenting to the city council later this summer.
