Journalist Cameron Bennett moderated the debate, which aired on Wednesday as part of the Thinking Green series on Sky Channel’s FACE-TV.
As Paul points out at the beginning of the debate, it has taken 12+ years of challenging NZ's fluoridation proponents to a public debate to find someone willing to defend the practice. So this is a rare event that we need to get as many people as possible to watch. Please share this video on your social media pages, and with friends, family, and decision-makers via email.
A study published in The Lancet Neurology admits that mercury and fluoride are industrial chemicals that can "injure the developing brain" and can cause Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder and other neurological problems.
"Neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, affect millions of children worldwide, and some diagnoses seem to be increasing in frequency. Industrial chemicals that injure the developing brain are among the known causes for this rise in prevalence. In 2006, we did a systematic review and identified five industrial chemicals as developmental neurotoxicants: lead, methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, arsenic, and toluene. Since 2006, epidemiological studies have documented six additional developmental neurotoxicants—manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers."
