Eau Secours! Coalition québécoise pour une gestion responsable de l'eau
Fluoridation: Autopsy of a scientific error
The Coordinating Committee has taken a position at its monthly meeting Oct. 6, 2008,
on the fluoridation of drinking water aqueducts. Coalition Eau Secours! opposes
fluoridation and requests the Government of Quebec public health law that prohibited
because it is not the way to achieve the goal of dental health. In addition, the Coalition
is concerned about the water pollution on a large scale by the chemical. We claim that
the debate and decision be provincial and not town by town and we demand that all
viewpoints are heard in all cases of public debate.

Position paper: http://eausecours.org/esdossiers/fluor_2010_final.pdf
Coalition Eau Secours!, the Council of Canadians and the Canadian Union of Public
Employees (CUPE) announce the launch of the Guide Project Blue Communities of
Quebec. The Blue Communities project requires municipalities to adopt a Community
framework on water:
1. reconnaissant l'eau comme étant un droit de la personne; recognizing water as a
human right;
2. faisant la promotion de services d'approvisionnement en eau et de traitement des
eaux usées financés et exploités par le secteur public, et lui appartenant; promoting
services of water supply and wastewater treatment funded and operated by the public
sector, and owned;
3. interdisant la vente d'eau embouteillée dans les établissements publics et lors
d'événements municipaux; prohibiting the sale of bottled water in public schools and at
civic events;
4. interdisant la fluoration de l'eau potable; prohibiting the fluoridation of drinking water;
“L'ONU a reconnu l'eau comme un droit de la personne lors de l'été 2010, après plus
3
de dix ans de débats et malgré les efforts du Canada qui a activement freiné cette
adoption, affirme Mark Calzavara du Conseil des Canadiens. Les municipalités sont
responsables de la qualité de l'eau, de l'alimentation en eau, du traitement de l'eau et
de sa conservation. La reconnaissance de l'eau comme étant un droit de la personne
est cruciale dans la lutte pour conserver l'eau et en assurer un accès équitable à toutes
et à tous.”
"The UN has recognized water as a human right in the summer of 2010, after more
than ten years of debate and despite the efforts of Canada has actively hindered the
adoption, said Mark Calzavara Council of Canadians. Municipalities are responsible for
the quality of water, water supply, treatment and water conservation. The recognition of
water as a human right is crucial in the fight to conserve water and ensure equitable
access to all of you."

In IAOMT's ongoing examination of the toxicological data on fluoride, the Academy has
made several preliminary determinations over the last 18 years, each concluding that
fluoride added to the public water supply, or prescribed as controlled-dose
supplements, delivers no discernible health benefit, and causes a higher incidence of
adverse health effects.

The Case Against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking
Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics That Keep It There.
http://www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/the_case_against_fluoride
Starred Review On the eve of the new millennium, the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) listed water fluoridation as one of the twentieth-century's 10 greatest publichealth achievements. Yet according to the authors of this painstakingly researched
exposé of fluoridation's overall ineffectiveness and toxicity, endorsements such as these
from the CDC and other health organizations are motivated more by face-saving politics
than credible research. Fluoridation advocates who have previously branded detractors
as conspiracy theorists and shills for junk science will be hard pressed to debunk the
hundreds of peer-reviewed studies and sound scientific reasoning presented here. In
demonstrating fluoridation's ineffectiveness, the authors cite exhaustive evidence
proving fluoride's only benefits are topical, as in toothbrushing, as opposed to
swallowing. But the case against fluoride's alleged safety, even in small doses, is more
alarming, with multiple studies showing fluoride's probable complicity in lowered
intelligence scores, thyroid dysfunction, hip fractures, and the ominously rising incidence
of osteosarcoma in boys. The authors' academic, hyperbole-free writing style serves
them well in marshaling a series of facts that, all by themselves, expose fluoridation as a
false panacea. —Booklist
Sweden rejected fluoridation in the 1970s, and in this excellent book these three scientists
have confirmed the wisdom of that decision. Our children have not suffered greater tooth
decay, as World Health Organization figures attest, and in turn our citizens have not borne the
11
other hazards fluoride may cause. In any case, since fluoride is readily available in
toothpaste, you don't have to force it on people." ---Arvid Carlsson, Nobel Laureate in
Medicine or Physiology (2000) and Emeritus Professor of Pharmacology, University of
Gothenburg
" Alfred North Whitehead said the scientific method means leaving 'options open for revision.'
An ancient Roman adage says that 'whatever touches all must be approved by all.' These
characterizations of science and democracy are the reasons for reading this book. Especially
if you and your family are drinking administratively mandated fluoridated water." ---Ralph
Nader
" For anyone who has ever wondered why cities add fluoride to water-and questioned whether
they should. Written with clear and easy-to-read prose, and supporting citations, The Case
Against Fluoride carefully lays out the arguments against fluoridation and reasons why it
should be discontinued. The authors examine the evidence on fluoridation and conclude
convincingly that it should now be considered 'harmful and ineffective.'" ---Dr. Hardy
Limeback, Professor and Head of Preventive Dentistry, University of Toronto
“After reading this book, one is left with the strong impression that water fluoridation is an idea
that is well past its ‘sell by date’ and that it should be rapidly phased out. What is now clear is
that, if proposed today, fluoridation of drinking water to prevent tooth decay would stand
virtually no chance of being adopted, given the current status of scientific knowledge The
good news is that, unlike many other forms of pollution, fluoride will leave no persistent legacy
if adding fluoride to drinking water is stopped.” ---Dr. Vyvyan Howard. MB ChB, PhD,
FRCPath, Centre for Molecular Biosciences, University of Ulster. He is a
toxicopathologist specialising in the problems associated with the action of toxic substances
on the fetus and the infant. Available from:
