Moose Jaw Forum

Back in October, the Pinellas County, Fla., Commission voted 4 - 3 to stop adding artificial fluoride chemicals to the county's municipal water supply, which serves roughly 700,000 residents - But now local health officials are suggesting that the county purchase a mobile fluoride van as an alternative, which would drive around town and administer fluoride and other conventional dental services directly to children.

This mobile fluoride van, for $532,339 in taxpayer funds, is more than twice the $205,000 a year, the county has been spending, to purchase fluoride chemicals for the water supply.

The first experiments in fluoridation of water supplies occurred in 1945 starting with Grand Rapids, Michigan, while Brantford, Ontario, was the first Canadian community.
Fluoridation became more prevalent in the 1960s as endorsements from the medical community continued to build, with communities like Moose Jaw (1953), Halifax (1956) and Toronto (1963) implementing the process.

On Wednesday, March 10, 2010 an incident occurred when an abnormally high concentration of fluoride was added to the water in the Moose Jaw supply pipeline. The high concentration was added when an incorrect high reading from the Moose Jaw pipeline flow meter caused the fluoride feeder to inject more fluoride than required. The incident was immediately reported to Ministry of Environment officials and appropriate action was taken to ensure the no persons were subjected to an unacceptable concentration of fluoride. Other than the brief event on March 10 the maximum recorded level of fluoride via a laboratory analysis for water pumped to Moose Jaw was 0.91 mg/L. Fluoride was not added to the Moose Jaw supply from March 10 until the week of May 31 when the flow meter was repaired.

Despite appeals from the Prairie North Health Region, Meadow Lake city council appears to be going ahead with plans to scrap the city’s water fluoridation program.

Saskatoon fluoridates its drinking water, but Regina and other cities don't.

New Study on Fluoride Shows No Benefits and Major Safety Issues

Fluoride, a neurotoxin that has been linked to reduced IQ, impaired neurobehavioral development and brain damage, among many other serious health problems, is sometimes prescribed in supplement form to children ages 6 months to 16 years who live in areas that have non-fluoridated drinking water.

The rationale, which is heavily promoted by government agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – or rather its Oral Health Division

Bodies like the American Dental Association (ADA), is that this toxic agent helps reduce cavities – and those children who are "unfortunate" enough NOT to have the poison forced upon them in their drinking water should get their daily dose elsewhere (i.e. in supplement form).

These recommendations now defy rational logic and common sense on two fronts:

1) even promoters of fluoridation now admit that fluoride's predominant action is on the surface of the tooth and not from inside the body (CDC, 1999) and

2) there are more than 100 published studies illustrating fluoride's harm to the brain, plus 25 published studies directly linking fluoride exposure to reduced IQ in children! In other words, it doesn't do much (if any) good to swallow fluoride and doing so could be doing significant harm.

Adding insult to injury, new research has further revealed that ingesting fluoride in supplement form does not reduce cavities in primary teeth – and may in fact cause harm.
