Hey Rob.  Late reply, I know.  I actually ended up going to the 'talk' on March 2nd.  It was a real spectacle.  I'm no expert either, but the few arguments I did take away from the event and investigate turned out to be bunk.  For instance, he mentioned that the FDA has never approved the fluoridation of water.  What he forgot to add was that they couldn't approve it even if they wanted to; it's outside their jurisdiction.  That's the sort of tactics we're dealing with.  If you didn't attend, the audience was big and overwhelmingly in favour of what this guy had to say.  He received a standing ovation at the end.  Like you said, it's not an Atheist topic, but interesting and frustrating nonetheless.  I have a feeling that unless cooler heads prevail London will be the next city to have its fluoride removed.
