I believe I sent some info thru before on Fluoridegate, here's the latest

victories on this topic:

 

Two and a half months after the city council in Albuquerque, New Mexico ended

the artificial fluoridationof their drinking water for approximately 500,000

residents, the city council in neighboring Santa Fe followed suit.  Just last

week, councilors voted 6-1 to end fluoridationfor the city's nearly 70,000

residents.  The city has been fluoridating its drinking water for almost 60

years, but councilors concluded that it was an outdated practice, a waste of

money, and according to the Mayor:

“If we don’t think the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] is a

credible scientific organization, then I guess we don’t,†he said. “They

say this is a safe level of fluoride and we believe this is just not true.â€

Unfortunately, even after fluoridation in Santa Fe was defeated with almost

unanimous support from local officials, the local media and local dentists

(along with the sole supporting councilor), are questioning the voteand calling

for a new one.

* If you live in New Mexico, please take a moment to thank Santa Fe City

Councilorsfor taking action against fluoridation.

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 fluoridatea 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 Hill:

“[Fluoridation] really takes away freedom of choice.  The majority of people

I’ve talked to in my ward do not want it.â€Â 

Local campaigners Orillia Citizens Against Fluoridationworked diligently to

prevent the practice from being imposed upon them.  They offer a good example

of what a dedicated group of citizens can accomplish if they take the time to

organize a campaign and communicate the risks of fluoridation to local decision

makers.  Congratulations Orillia!
