Fluoride defeats are unfortunate news
November 11, 2008
Voters in
Grand Island,
Hastings, North Platte and Sutherland
rejected measures to introduce fluoride to their drinking-water supplies on Election Day last week. Unfortunately, the anti-fluoride movement is bolstered by
anecdotes that make dubious and misleading claims about the safety of fluoride, which has been shown
repeatedly by scientific study to be safe and overwhelmingly effective at
dramatically reducing the incidence of tooth decay.
Fluoride occurs naturally in many water supplies, so whether it's naturally present or added at the
water treatment plant, we recommend the use of
fluoride monitors to ensure that fluoride levels are maintained in the safest range. Please feel free to
contact us with your questions.
