Taking the fluoride out is a step backward

I am writing this letter to express my objections to the shutting down of the addition of fluoride to the city’s potable drinking water.

This is a huge step backward, because it was done for 50-70 years and now it will no longer be the case.

So what you are saying is the whole thing was a lie. The mayor and City Council are replacing good science with witch doctor science. The CDC, the local dentist, and others say for a city this size it is a must to use, add fluoride to the potable water supply for good dental health, especially children.

Now stay with a program that has worked so well for over half a century, not hillbilly witch doctor science.
