Congratulations to Mayor Downie for his wise decision and shame on the Council members who continue to vote against the majority of their constituents. I find it intriguing that all the fluoride supporters feel it is okay to "medicate" the rest of us with out our permission. Also, I've tried to get an answer for this for many years: why is it that in 70 years there has never been a single double blind study regarding the efficacy and safety of water fluoridation. That is the gold standard of any "medication". There is a mountain of research and studies showing the many dangers of fluoride. It is one of the most highly reactive and toxic elements on the planet. Why would anyone want it in the water supply??????? There are also a multitude of scientists, doctors, dentists, Nobel prize winners, PHD's etc. who are against water fluoridation. Let's get back to common sense, use science and evidence to help us make wise decisions and stop inundating ourselves with toxic chemicals.
