Medical pros debate fluoride in WI village
HOLMEN, WI — Village officials are hearing their local healthcare professionals debate whether fluoride should be added to the water supply, a March 23 WKBT story reported.In favor of adding fluoride has been dentist Dr. John Carr of Holmen Dental Center; speaking out against the measure is Dr. Michael Berkley of Barge Chiropractic Clinic, the story said.
Carr said in the story, "Fluoride is a great contributor to the reduction of tooth decay … For Holmen, water fluoridation is an issue whose time has come." Berkley said, "Not one other health care profession, besides dentistry, has tried to use water as a vehicle to deliver mass medication and that's what it is … What they supplement the water with, in artificial fluoridation, is a by-product, a toxic chemical from the phosphate fertilizer industry, and, if you were to drink an ounce of it straight up, it might kill you," according to the story.Recently in Mount Desert, ME, in a 229 to 42 vote, residents chose to remove fluoride from their drinking water, making that town the first municipality in the state to do so, according to a story from WaterTechOnline™.
Village officials will wait and see how the public feels about adding fluoride before making a decision, the story said.
