There’s a set of numbers to consider before the Chippewa Falls City Council hears a plea Tuesday night to add fluoride to the city’s water supply.
And those numbers are 70 to 30.That’s the percentage that an April 2004 advisory referendum on fluoride was crushed by city voters. The referendum vote was quickly followed by a 6-1 council vote against fluoridating what some in the city tout as the world’s purest water, capping a three-month bitter debate.

Now the fluoride topic is resurfacing at Tuesday’s council’s meeting at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 30 W. Central St...............

If "Community water fluoridation is an effective, safe and inexpensive way to prevent tooth decay," when can we expect to start seeing results in Kentucky? For years they have been almost 100% fluoridated, and yet they continue to have the highest rate of tooth decay and complete toothlessness in the entire nation. "
