Fluoride debate about to be reopened
Updated Fri. Sep. 25 2009 7:02 PM
The fluoride debate is about to be reopened. Councillors in Waterloo have decided to put the issue to residents in the form of a plebiscite during the 2010 municipal election.
The City of Waterloo adopted the idea of putting fluoride in the water back in the 1960's.
Last year, Health Canada asked cities to lower the rates of fluoride in their water because too much can lead to a tooth condition known as flurosis.
Waterloo Councillor Angela Vieth wants to start an edcuational campaign so people can make an informed decision during the plebiscite.
According to one independent researcher, putting fluoride into the water costs the city over $400,000 each year.
