Fluoridegate an American tragedy
Fluoridegate an American tragedy
Wednesday, November 6, 2013
: 8:30 AM - 8:45 AM
This documentary exposes the tragedy of political influences determining public policy instead of carefully thought out evidence based policy. It details the disproportionate harm caused by bad policy decisions and reveals the lengths the government will go to in order to maintain the status quo even when harm is obvious. It calls for evidence based public policy that is developed with the goals of improving human health instead of saving corporate profits.
