Medical Hotseat - Discovery Health 2004
In this interesting video produced in Canada for the Discovery Health Channel in June of 2004, host Avery Haines moderates a discussion of fluoridation featuring three views of the practice.
Dr. Euan Swan of the Canadian Dental Association supports fluoridation and believes the policy has significant benefits to broad populations based upon decades of research and observational evidence.
Professor David Locker of the Department of Dentistry at the University of Toronto believes that there may be benefits to the practice, but feels the scientific evidence is very weak.
And, Professor Paul Connett, who at this time was teaching environmental chemistry at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, (now retired and the director of the Fluoride Action Network), believes that the practice of fluoridation is unnecessary, scientifically unsupported, risky and a violation of medical ethics.
Presented as a complete broadcast under the fair use section of copyright as an important example of the arguments underlying this most important issue by Discovery Health Channel and Medical Hot Seat Productions, Incorporated.
