Fluoridation dicussed

The Sept. 23 debate for the second official forum on water fluoridation was a little one-sided as the dentists did not show up.

According to the Waterloo Chronicle, the debate was opened by Andrew Hillard of Wonderful Waterloo, a local civic-minded group which acts as a neutral third party, who asked if anyone in favour of water fluoridation wanted to come forward and speak. The audience of 40 greeted him with silence.

It is said that water fluoridation has few benefits for your teeth and can be fatally harmful to your body. It has been known to leave several people with a lifetime of health problems.
