<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1d1f2e; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">In April, 1999 Dr. Hardy <SPAN class=SpellE>Limeback</SPAN>, </SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">a leading Canadian fluoride authority often cited by health officials in their defense of fluoridated water, long-standing consultant to the Canadian Dental Association and a professor of dentistry at the University of Toronto, changed his mind and has since become a leading opponent of fluoridated water. Professor <SPAN class=SpellE>Limeback</SPAN> is interviewed by Dr. Paul <SPAN class=SpellE>Connett</SPAN>, Professor of Chemistry, <SPAN class=GramE>St</SPAN>. Lawrence University, New York. Dr. <SPAN class=SpellE>Limeback</SPAN> explains the events and information that led to his changed position. In 1992 Dr. <SPAN class=SpellE>Limeback</SPAN> recommended a ban of fluoride supplements for children under 3. In 1997 he discovered, contrary to his assumption, that pharmaceutical grade sodium fluoride is not added to Canada’s water supply. Instead, <SPAN class=SpellE>hydrofluosilicic</SPAN> acid, a by-product of Florida fertilizer production plants is used.</SPAN></div>

<div class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Dr. J. William <SPAN class=SpellE>Hirzy</SPAN> is a senior scientist in the Risk Assessment Division of the Office of Pollution Prevention </NOBR>and Toxics</NOBR> at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Dr. <SPAN class=SpellE>Hirzy</SPAN> is also Vice President of the National Treasury Employees Union which represents eleven professional employees unions at EPA headquarters. In June, 2000 Dr. <SPAN class=SpellE>Hirzy</SPAN>, representing the Union, not EPA, testified before a Senate subcommittee. This 30 minute documentary presents portions of Dr. <SPAN class=SpellE>Hirzy’s</SPAN> statement followed by an interview in which he answers questions about his testimony. It is not very well known that the Union of 7000 EPA professionals (scientists, lawyers, toxicologists, engineers) has opposed fluoridating public water for ten years and called upon Congress to “order an independent review of a cancer bioassay previously mandated by Congressional committee” showing a link between fluoride and bone cancer in young males.</SPAN></div>
