Artificial Water Fluoridation
Public Information Session about Fluoride in HRM Drinking Water
7:00pm
- 9:00pm
Thursday May 29 2014
Concerned Canadians are increasingly speaking up about the practice of adding fluoride to their municipal drinking water. In fact, there has been a recent surge of cities in Canada and in other countries that have stopped adding fluoride to drinking water. In 2010 the Region of Waterloo stopped adding fluoride to their drinking water, Calgary city council voted 10-3 to stop the practice in 2011 and in that same year the city of Moncton also stopped adding fluoride to drinking water.
A critical review of water fluoridation by The Scientific World Journal published in February 2014 states that “fluoride has a potential to cause major adverse human health problems [...] and should be reconsidered globally”
Fluoride has been officially classified as a developmental neurotoxin by the Lancet Journal. With other questionable concerns about fluoride, it's time to take a serious look at this practice - is it worth the risk?
Join us on May 29th 2014 at 7 PM at the Bloomfield Centre for a free information session and discussion with water fluoridation expert Olivier Weil.
Olivier Weil was the lead researcher and spokesperson for Safe Water Moncton, a group that was successful in calling on the cities of Moncton and Dieppe to stop adding fluoride to municipal drinking water in 2011. Olivier has dedicated over 2000 hours to collecting and assessing research of artificial water fluoridation, as well as corresponding about fluoride compounds and water fluoridation with respected PhDs in toxicology, biochemistry, physiology, former promoters of water fluoridation, media and elected municipal officials for Moncton and Dieppe.
