Campaign avoids science

It's understandable that those who want to end the fluoridation of Saskatoon's drinking water are trying to distance themselves from a poster attacking the city's utilities manager.

The fluoridation of Saskatoon's water began well before Jeff Jorgenson took on his position. Saskatoon's leaders have long accepted the wisdom of policy experts who consider this practice to be among the most beneficial of the many publichealth measures that a community can take.

And good on them for having that courage.

Although there is a significant and apparently growing movement to end the practice, it is not based on science or evidence but depends on fear, misrepresentation and general ignorance.......

He isn't biased is he?
