Fluoride is on the ballot tomorrow
November 3, 2008

Dozens of Nebraska cities and villages will vote tomorrow on whether to begin adding fluoride to their municipal water supplies. Fluoride has long been used to prevent tooth decay in many parts of the US, but some communities have resisted due to fears about the safety of fluoride. Those fears are generally overstated, particularly since fluoride already occurs naturally in many water supplies throughout the state, and when it is added mechanically it is still a safe and effective public-health treatment. Simple and effective fluoride monitors can be used to ensure that the dosages remain safe.
