"The science clearly indicates that fluoridation should be ended as soon as possible"
-- Toxicologist Steven Gilbert, PhD, author of A Small Dose of Toxicology and director of the Institute of Neurotoxicology & Neurological Disorders
"Public health has a history of holding on too long. We minimized the risks of lead poisoning. Now we are doing the same with fluoride. The evidence has shifted. The benefits of drinking fluoridated water are smaller than we once believed. The risks—especially to the developing brain—are now impossible to ignore. Anyone who insists otherwise either hasn’t read the new research or chooses not to."
-- Bruce Lanphear, MD, MPH, preventive medicine physician and professor at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver.
When municipalities fluoridate their tap water, it denies Canadians the right to choose whether to drink it, shower in it or cook with it. Fluoride Free Canada supports efforts across Canada to end this outdated practice. We help municipalities and individuals by providing them with the best science that indicates that this practice is harmful to health, especially the dangers it poses to the brains of our children and the bones of the elderly.
FLUORIDE ON TRIAL
On September 24, 2024 a US Federal court ruled in favour of Food and Water Watch, et al. in their proceedings against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It was heard in June 2020, with testimony provided by Philippe Grandjean, Howard Hu co-author of the Bashash (2017, 2018) studies and Bruce Lanphear, co-author of the Green (2019) and Till (2020) studies. The judge was very interested in the new science and delayed his ruling until he had in his hands the final report of the U.S. National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) review on fluoride’s neurotoxicity and the Grandjean (et al) Benchmark Dose (BMD) Analysis.
Below is sworn testimony from Casey Hannan, the then Director of CDC’s Division of Oral Health, regarding early life exposure to fluoride. He acknowledges that the CDC has no data that would establish the safety of fluoride’s effect on the brain, despite a growing body of evidence showing that fluoride is a developmental neurotoxin.

The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) website has excellent information on Canadian activity, it is included here:
Paul Connett, PhD, is a retired chemistry professor specializing in environmental chemistry and toxicology. He is the current director of the Fluoride Action Network, which he helped to found in 2000. He co-authored The Case Against Fluoride [Chelsea Green, 2010] with Dr. James Beck from Calgary and Dr. Spedding Micklem from Edinburgh, Scotland. He is featured in several of the videos below. He has been involved since 1996 and has helped many communities in Canada fight fluoridation. He has given presentations on the topic in many Canadian cities, including: Toronto, Ottawa, Oakville, Brantford, London, Mississauga, Peterborough, Dryden, Waterloo, Calgary, Montreal and Prince George.
PODCASTS
Sharyl Attkisson speaks with Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo of Florida, which has now banned water fluoridation.
May 6, 2025: Sovereign Collective Podcast
Dr. Bob discusses his initial discovery of the potential harms of fluoride and his efforts to remove it from Calgary’s water. He covers the toxicity of hexafluorosilicic acid, the legal and ethical implications of mass medication, the scientific studies showing minimal benefits and significant risks, including neurotoxicity, as well as the political and financial forces driving fluoridation.
Apr 6, 2025: Truth Over Spin: Pam Killeen and Dr. Paul Connett discuss the ongoing controversy surrounding water fluoridation, highlighting recent scientific findings, legal battles, and the historical context of fluoride use in public health.

Episode 2
Artificial Water Fluoridation
Dr Bob starts by highlighting the potential toxic effects of fluoride, comparing it to lead and arsenic. Dr. Bob delves into the wide range of potential consequences linked to fluoride exposure, such as increased rates of ADHD, decreased IQ in children, thyroid problems, kidney toxicity, and weakened bones.
March 24, 2025: Huberman's guest is board-certified dentist Dr. Stacy Whitman, DMD.
Show notes at:
Dr. Bob was a proponent for water fluoridation until activists had him look at a study back in 1998. He has been trying to expose the lies for 25 years.

Regina SK: May 2, 2025
Reconsideration vote to postpone the introduction of fluoride to Regina's water supply until there is conclusive evidence that there are no significant neurotoxic effects or other bodily harms, to safeguard the health of the community and particularly that of the community's children. Ultimately, the motion was defeated and plans to introduce fluoride will proceed.
