What’s Up With Calgary—Re Introducing fluoride to their water system ?

This is strange ——

When science studies show a link of using fluoride affects cognitive function in the US and The Secretary Of HHS , Robert F. Kennedy , no longer recommends having fluoride in municipal water system and the State of Florida just outlawed such use in that state , you have the city of Calgary reintroducing it???

There is a great website http://www.fluoridealert.org that has massive about of data for anyone interested.

The court action that ruled against fluoride being used and on which Kennedy’s and Florida’s actions are based was tied up in the legal process from 2017 to 2024 —this long process because it was hijacked by deliberate attempts by pro fluoride companies and organizations  to prevent a final decision .

Here is the Epoch Times story:

Calgary Brings Fluoride Back to Drinking Water System After 14 Years

Calgary reintroduced fluoride to its drinking water system on June 30, 2025.

The City of Calgary is reintroducing fluoride back into its drinking water, saying it helps prevent tooth decay. The city had removed the mineral from its water system in 2011.

Effective June 30, fluoride levels will be maintained at “optimal” concentrations of 0.7 milligrams per litre, according to Health Canada’s guidelines, the city says on its website, noting that the mineral is “naturally found in water, air, soil and almost all foods” in lower levels.

In a city-wide plebiscite in the 2021 civic general election, 62 percent of Calgary residents voted in favour of fluoridation in the drinking water system. Four years later, the city is implementing the refluoridation, stating that it’s a “safe and effective public health measure to prevent dental cavities and improve oral health.”

In 2011, fluoride was removed from Calgary’s drinking water after Calgarians expressed that they wanted it gone, city councillor Gian-Carlo Carra said in a radio interview with NPR in December 2024. He said that, while managing its $4 billion annual budget, the city decided not to upgrade its worn-out fluoride injection system rather than invest in a $20 million upgrade and continue to incur about $1 million a year in operating costs.

Now, Calgary rejoins a host of Canadian cities that either fluoridate or have refluoridated their drinking water supply, including Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Toronto. A number of cities and provinces do not fluoridate or have defluoridated their drinking water, including Newfoundland and Labrador and various communities in British Columbia.

Both Health Canada and Alberta Health Services state that fluoride is beneficial in preventing tooth decay.

However, the use of the mineral has received more scrutiny in the United States.

A report by the U.S. National Toxicology Program notes that fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQ in children.

In 2024, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Chen in California ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to strengthen its regulations on drinking water. 

“The scientific literature in the record provides a high level of certainty that a hazard is present: fluoride is associated with reduced IQ,” Chen wrote in the ruling.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on April 7 announced he would tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending fluoridation in municipal water nationwide, citing concerns about the impact on children’s IQ.
