Lawyer Michael Connett Highlights Fluoride Risks on New Zealand Tour

Lawyer and fluoride expert Michael Connett is touring New Zealand with Fluoride Free NZ, sharing eye-opening insights about the potential risks of water fluoridation. Fresh from a meeting with Far North councils, Connett joined Paul to discuss the pressing health concerns linked to fluoride exposure—especially its impact on developing brains and bone health.

Connett warns about fluoride’s ability to accumulate in bones over time, increasing the risk of fractures and chronic joint pain. He also sheds light on the troubling rise of dental fluorosis among children, a clear sign of excessive fluoride consumption. Criticising health authorities for their lack of oversight, he points to studies suggesting that even low levels of fluoride in water could lead to serious health problems, including hip fractures in older adults.

An advocate for informed consent, Connett argues that water fluoridation takes away personal choice. He also raised an important ethical concern: water fluoridation disproportionately affects low-income communities, leaving them with limited alternatives.

Connett’s message is clear—respect personal choice, prioritise informed consent, and take a closer look at the science behind fluoridation.
