EDMONTON — After eight years without fluoride in the city’s water, a Calgary councillor was hoping that her fellow legislators would decide to have a study done on the impact of removing it. Council agreed, voting Monday night for the University of Calgary’s O’Brien Institute for Public Health to examine the benefits and detriments of fluoridation. Colley-Urquhart said that, in 2011, councillors didn’t have the available information about whether or not removing fluoride would cause harm. The decision was made back in 2011 after fluoride had been in Calgary’s water for 20 years. The only thing between the two cities that had changed notably, the researchers said, was the removal of fluoride from Calgary’s water.
