Fluoride vote anything but praiseworthy'
I am saddened that the Sentinel has allowed the Praiseworthy column to be used to render accolades upon the council members of Watsonville who have decided to medicate the residents whether they have teeth or not, whether they want it or not, and regardless of its questionable efficacy "[L]aboratory and epidemiologic research suggests that fluoride prevents dental caries predominately after eruption of the tooth into the mouth, and its actions primarily are topical for both adults and children," CDC, 1999.

As evidenced by past vote, the people of Watsonville have said no to fluoridation. The fluoride-supporting council members have decided they know better. They do not deserve praise for circumventing the will of the people. To me, freedom means freedom to choose. In Watsonville, there will soon be no choice.
