Paul Connett

Paul Connett is a prominent water fluoridation critic,[1][2][3] executive director of the Binghamton, New York based Fluoride Action Network (FAN),[4][5] one of the largest organizations opposing water fluoridation worldwide.[6][7][8] Connett has been invited by environmental organizations opposing fluoridation to come and lecture on the subject in fluoridating countries such as Canada, Israel, Australia and New Zealand.[9][10][11][12] Connett has stated "It’s politics that is interfering with science in this issue...It’s a matter of political will, and you cannot change political will if you don’t get the people. We must involve the people."[13]

Connett is a graduate of Cambridge University. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from Dartmouth College. After teaching chemistry and toxicology for 23 years at St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY, he retired from his full professorship. He is currently also the director of the American Environmental Health Studies Project (AEHSP).[14][15]

In 2004, Connett published the paper 50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation.[16][17][18] In 2010 he coauthored; The Case against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics That Keep It There along with Dr. James Beck and Dr. H. Spedding Micklem.[19] He also wrote the book in 2013; "The Zero Waste Solution".[20] and assisted the city of Naples in pursuing its zero waste strategy.[21]
