Canadians vote against fluoridated water supplies
November 19th, 2010
(CosmeticDentistryGuide) – Residents in Waterloo, Ontario have voted to stop adding fluoride to water supplies.
The decision, which was announced on Tuesday, has been welcomed by anti-fluoride campaigners; however, the news has shocked dentists and the incoming head of the Ontario Dental Association has condemned the decision. Dr Harry Hoediono has criticised the decision, saying that people are unaware of the dental health benefits of fluoride and are voting to stop fluoridation based on flimsy evidence they have downloaded from the internet. Dr Hoediono said that it was a shame that such an important decision could be made by a small group of people who perhaps do not have the necessary knowledge to make an informed decision.
Campaigners against fluoride believe that adding fluoride to the water supply is tantamount to poisoning and are lobbying for fluoridation to be stopped all over Canada. Opponents of fluoride claim the chemical is illegal, unnecessary and dangerous; campaigners believe fluoride contributes to health conditions, including increased risk of cancer, thyroid disease and arthritis.
Public health officials and dentists in the area are outraged by the decision; numerous studies conducted all over the world have consistently shown that fluoride helps to strengthen and protect the teeth, which reduces rates of decay. Fluoride also helps to cut costs for public health services as people are less likely to need dental treatment.
Most councillors were opposed to stopping fluoridation; however, they voted in favour of stopping it to support public opinion. Regional Chairman, Ken Seiling, said he did not believe much of what protestors had to say; however, he claimed that health officials had failed to run an effective campaign, which meant that people were largely unaware of the benefits of fluoride.

Harry Hoediono and, Jonathan Kay, have only succeeded at stirring up the hornet’s nest, again. He [THEY], have merely created another opportunity for all against…against all, of ‘their’ so-called scientific, and so-called educated comments, r.e. “safe additive that helps protect billions of Canadian teeth”.
There truly is no shortage of information (internet search), which can be easily accessed, and yes, even by “the common sense of ordinary people,” which shows, just how dubious the “safety of ‘their’ additive” truly is.

The one good thing that an article such as this, will do, is to show their so-called “common sense ordinary people” just how desperate ‘they’ are, becoming. And, the new lengths and lowliness, that ‘they’ are willing to go, to, when faced with obvious defeat…albeit a slow death…’they’ are beginning to foam at the mouth.
From ‘their’ FLUORIDE ADDITIVES!
I’ve already re-posted this news on other websites, that receive a great deal of traffic.
Everyone against artificially fluoridated environments, needs to comment on this article, and, to provide as much detailed information as possible, which will clearly show, to the “common sense ordinary people”, just how “unsafe ‘their’ additive is”.
Should any substance [CHEMICAL], which is purposely purchased, or procured by a government, and bearing the Skull & Bones symbol, upon it, be intentionally added to the drinking water supplies, which also contaminates the waste water and, therefore the entire water system–Then this so-called “Public Health Service”, should be viewed as nothing less than a premeditated, “without consent to medicate the public” campaign. And, doing it with toxic [POISONOUS], carcinogenic chemicals, at that…it should be nothing less than a CRIME!
There is a need bring to the surface, and in HIGH DEFINITION too, the horrors that are associated with ‘their’ premeditated ACT, of contaminating our water systems, with ‘their’ Skull & Bones additives…industrial waste chemicals [DRUGS], and by our governments at that, and the obvious Fluoridation lobbyists, viz Ontario Dental Association, et al.
“Dead Ducks” seem to be of more importance, in the province of Alberta (Tar Sands) Canada, than their human beings (Alberta Artificially Fluoridates their water systems, too), who will no doubt suffer, in the years to come, from the obvious cumulative and toxic debilitating effects of ‘their’ FLUORIDE additives.
My comment (above), was submitted three days ago; Jonathan does not seem to anxious to post it?
