Citizens for a Safe Environment Presents:

Paul Connett, Ph.D.

Why he stopped the fluoridation of his community's drinking water.

In his words: I hav been researching the scientific literature on fluoride since 1996. I approached this issue with an open mind. If I had any bias when I set out it was that those who were opposed to fluoridation were 'crackpots'."

"However, the more I read the more concerned I become over the dangers posed by fluoride and by the very poor science underpinning political decisions that allow such a toxic substance to be put into our drinking water."
