Interesting letters attached to the article in newspaper.
Among the areas in Middle Tennessee that do not fluoridate water is the Pleasant View Utility District.
Its general manager, John Anthony, said the decision not to fluoridate the water was made because it was not required and it was expensive.
“You have to have a lot of apparatus to treat the fluoride in the proper dosages,” Anthony said. “When we looked into it, we determined that it didn’t improve the quality of the water and it was expensive and fluoridation is potentially dangerous if you had a malfunction in some of your equipment so we decided just not to do it.”
Opponents nationwide claim that water fluoridation can cause dangerous side effects such as bone fractures, arthritis, immune system problems and other health issues.
The National Research Council, a branch of the National Academy of Science, is currently reviewing all literature available on water fluoridation and its effects and is expected to release results in February 2006
