Health Canada, the provincial Minister of Health and municipal officers of health have been telling the Canadian public that fluoride is added to municipal drinking water to prevent tooth decay.

In 1957, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that water fluoridation is a medication.

The actual product added to the drinking water supply by municipalities is a waste chemical product known as hydrofluorosilicic acid, which is harmful to humans and the environment.

Fluoride has been classified a neuro toxin similar in toxicity to arsenic and lead. The levels for lead is 1.5 parts per million, 1.0 ppm for arsenic and for fluoride 400 ppm.

Health Canada recommends that toxicology reviews be done on the fluoridation product to ensure its safety at the maximum use level.

While Peel Regional health officials have been telling municipal councillors [the decision makers] that the required toxicology studies have been done, no toxicology studies have been provided to council for review.

Both the US EPA and Health Canada have disclosed that they have no records of any toxicology studies.

Since the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that water fluoridation is a medication, municipal councillors have been approving adding a toxic chemical compound [HFSA] that is unapproved, unregulated, and a untested illegal drug to residents’ drinking water without the people’s informed consent.

Section 7.31 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects ‘’the people’s right to be from unwanted medical treatment.”

The US Centre for Disease Control has admitted that fluoride works topically and not by ingestion. Dr. Cooney, the former chief dental officer for Health Canada, has conceded that water fluoridation prevents less than one half a cavity per child.

The US National institute of Dental Research found that children drinking fluoridated water averaged only about half a cavity less than those drinking unfluoridated water.

As people may also recall, Liberal MPP Bob Delaney (Mississauga-Streetsville) introduced a private members bill last year to legislate water fluoridation across the province. The bill was unanimously supported by all three parties, went to a second reading and never made it to a third reading for passage into law.

The fishy thing about water fluoridation that should be exposed is, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that water fluoridation is a medication.

Health Canada recommends toxicology reviews of the fluoridation product to ensure its safety. No one has ever done any toxicology studies on the product [HFSA] to ensure its safety.

The province gave the approval responsibility to municipal councillors who don’t have the ability to do the toxicology studies on the product to ensure its safety.

(John Sprovieri is the Ward 9 and 10 Brampton councillor. He has long been seeking more local control over the fluoridation system.)
