Quick about face - fluoridation back on.
DEL RIO, TX – Less than two months after voting to discontinue fluoridation of the city's drinking water, the city council has opted to reinstate fluoride, according to a recent report in the Del Rio News-Herald.
The council's 5-1 vote to resume fluoridation followed protests by dozens of health care professionals and members of the community, who championed fluoride's cavity-fighting capability and asked city leaders to reverse their decision, the story noted.
Dr. Howard Hunt, a local dentist, said fluoridation "provides unquestionable benefits to all socio-economic classes," while Dr. Larry Lindenschmidt, another dentist, added it is impossible to be poisoned by "optimally fluoridated water," according to the article.
As reported by WaterTech Online® on September 14, the city council voted to discontinue fluoridation after John Morony, a retired biology professor, made a presentation condemning fluoride and stating it is linked to higher rates of cancer.
