👉 The Alberta Fluoride Initiative (AFI) is an environmental and public health campaign in Alberta, Canada, that promotes the use of fluoridated water to prevent tooth decay. The initiative advocates for the addition of fluoride to municipal water supplies, arguing that it is a safe and effective method to improve dental health across the population. Proponents of AFI highlight studies showing a significant reduction in tooth decay rates among communities with fluoridated water, emphasizing that fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. Critics, however, raise concerns about potential health risks and environmental impacts, sparking ongoing debates about the balance between public health benefits and individual rights.
