Dr. Paul Connett, Executive Director of the Fluoride Action Network, interviews Dr. Bob Dickson, MD and Dr. James Beck, MD, PhD on the looming battle over water fluoridation in Calgary, Canada. Calgary stopped adding #fluoride to its water supplies in 2011 but recently a strong push from the fluoride lobby threatens to restart fluoridation. In this video, Dr. Dickson and Dr. Beck share their thoughts on why adding fluoride to Calgary’s water supplies is a VERY BAD IDEA.

What happens in Calgary could have major implications for other Canadian cities, as well as other fluoridated cities across the globe.

Please share this video to help stop #fluoridation
