www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, December 14, 2011 · 8 This holiday season, Canadian Blood Services is asking people to stop for an hour and help it replenish its blood supply. While gift giving is high on many residents' priority lists at this time of year, there is no better present than the gift of life. The agency needs to collect nearly 17,000 units of blood this season to ensure central Ontario hospitals have enough to help their patients through the holidays. There are several blood donor clinics coming up in Oakville where people will be able to make a donation.

Fluoride not needed for whole body: reader Continued from page 6 than 0.3 per cent of Canadian children have moderate dental fluorosis, so clearly Halton stands out as being a very over-fluoridated community. Fluoride is also obtainable from toothpaste, dental treatments, pesticide residues and some foods. Fluoride makes teeth and bones harder and more brittle. The preponderance of studies reviewed in this recent Health Canada report also showed that fluoridating communities had higher hip fracture rates in seniors. Fluoride works topically, not systemically, to combat decay. We do not need to treat our whole body with it, which we do when we drink water treated with added fluorosilicates.
