Fluoride is neither a medical treatment nor a medication, it is a mineral found naturally in all water that provides a known, safe health benefit to everyone--young and old, rich or poor. Fluoridation is also known to be cost saving for communities, with fewer people missing school and work, and fewer people seeking emergency room services for dental pain. From a medical/health perspective, David, I find it to be highly unethical to suddenly and without warning remove such a health and economic benefit from the community and all of the people who rely on it. Wouldn't you agree?
