Dr. Robert Dickson is a long time Calgary physician. Most importantly he is a health advocate and founder at Safe Water Calgary. Happening very soon, we once again will be putting fluoride back into Calgary's water. Calgary has voted on the hotly contested issue of fluoridation in our city's water supply 7 times dating back to the 1950s! In fact, it's hotly contested everywhere! In a landmark case in the State of California in September 2024, lead attorney Michael Connett smashed out a victory for the people, and a precedence setter! In this case the Judge ruled that thanks to the scientific studies showing fluoride is proven to lower IQ in children, and causes potential harms to all of us, he had no choice but to rule in favour. The federal court in California ruled that the EPA must strengthen regulations for fluoride in drinking water, finding that current levels pose an unreasonable risk to children's developing brains, requiring the EPA to engage in a regulatory response. We will see where this goes... But Dr. Bob, as he's affectionately known as, gives all the goods on the potential risks from ingesting fluoride and at what levels. I learned a ton in this one, and you will too! Stay informed kids!
