Spring Hill rethinks fluoride in water
Alderman will push to end additive use
Intended to protect teeth, fluoride may crop up in more places than consumers realize.
It’s in canned goods, soft drinks and bottled water — sources that didn’t include the supplement in 1945 when community water fluoridation began as a way to reduce dental decay, Spring Hill Alderman Amy Wurth said.
She’s asking city leaders on Monday to vote on a resolution that would end the city’s practice of adding it to city water.
Residents like Richard Hinman are eager for the change.
“For me, when I take a shower, I don’t want to bathe in sodium fluoride,” he said. “I don’t want to cook with sodium fluoride. I actually spend a lot of money on filters to get it out of my water supply.”..........
