An historic
moment in the battle against water fluoridation
It took about forty days for a dedicated team
working with the Fluoride Action Network (FAN)
in several countries and across North America
to achieve an historic moment in the battle against
water fluoridation.
On August 9, 2007, FAN released a statement signed
by over 600 professionals calling for an end to
fluoridation and a call to legislators in fluoridating
countries to hold hearings to determine why, after
the release of the landmark National Research
Council report in 2006, aggressive promotion of
fluoridation continues.
The signers include:
• Arvid
Carlsson, Nobel Laureate for Physiology
or Medicine, 2000

Minister (1972-75), Australia
