The fluoride controversy continues. As dentist I'm a big fan of fluoride. I consider it one of the best public health initiatives in history. If fluoride is removed from drinking water, there is going to be a dental health backlash. Unfortunately the result would be more decay and therefore more health problems for children and lower income individuals and families.
Secretary of HHS, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr was asked about this recently and his response is sobering. Rather than steal the thunder of Rolling Stone magazine, I'll simply provide a link.
