This link is to a story in today's K-W Record. I attended last night's televised (Roger's Cable) debate in Waterloo and have but one disgreement with the excellent reporting done by Jeff Outhit. Make that two. His Editer should have given him more space because this is a worthy issue. Secondly Jeff said "Proponents said the credible science shows that adding fluoride limits cavities with no known health risks." If either of the two gentlemen said that exactly (which I dispute) then they lied. Yes they certainly downplayed the health risks and Dr. Hoediono repeatedly used the expression "in the right amount". This to me is at least a tacit admission that fluoride in the wrong amount is indeed a health problem. Furthermore both sides referred to a 2007 Health Canada document produced by an expert panel regarding water fluoridation. Although the panel recommended continuing Fluoridation of water supplies at a reduced concentration,
they gave multiple warnings and cautions because of HEALTH ISSUES arising from fluoridating the public water supply. These warnings and cautions included the issue of infants and toddlers exposure to possibly too much fluoride.

I will be commenting further on this issue which directly affects Woolwich Township and our drinking water.
