**Dear Readers:**

We have a correction to make on [the bulletin](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=n8flt5dab&et=1108354527604&s=45&e=001u3i6%5FNXNOdVMLQdm9e7dGe8mszBu7a3JAdY60YZjnB-cLuJPXagQE4Gea3Mh1uuVKN9OlpKBzBOpNJr0wRw0e4KJvLufY1VjtKsLxOwtFaQdOaM-E1pHBXWQlc%5FjQHFAhrl5UztyfMVd686K06rGNRxJKoI8X7YVoPTvOUUwjkyZfF6wLHyk4CjWWiZ58fqyB52Ri2OpdsiPRryqHnPWdon9BPMbA4uEac8nW0jDv0DGhYGukjBGLrnU2wvRcw%5FQ&ref=foodconsumer.org) we sent out earlier this afternoon. In our bulletin we said: 

"...since the October 25, 2010 victory in Waterloo, Ontarioapproximately **1,180,500** people have been freed from fluoridation by a city council or referendum vote ending the practice." 

After sending out the bulletin we realized that we accidentally gave Calgary, Alberta credit for having only 103,000 residents, rather than the nearly **1,300,000** the metro area actually has. We also forgot to include the recent victory in New Plymouth, New Zealand that impacted an additional **50,000 people**. This more than doubles our initial number of people freed from fluoride in the past year to approximately **2,538,500 people**! 

Over the last year, the following communities (with approximate populations) have stopped adding fluoride to their drinking water: 

**Oct. 25** \-- Palmer, Alaska **(8,400)** 

**Oct. 18** \-- Lawrenceburg, Tennessee **(11,000)**
