USA - Council seeks community input on fluoridation

To fluoridate or not to fluoridate – that is the question.
But, what is the right answer?
There are two distinct sides when it comes to the issue of communities fluoridating drinking water.
Some advocates say adding fluoride to drinking water provides a health service that individuals may not receive otherwise.
On the other hand, the process does not give one the choice to not receive fluoride. Those who do not see it as a necessity point to the availability of numerous products containing fluoride should negate the need of adding it to the drinking water.
A public hearing is scheduled at 6:30 p.m. July 28 to gain input from the community on which direction the city should take - should the city continue fluoridating the drinking water or should the council begin to take action stopping the fluoridation process.
In 1945, Grand Rapids, Mich. began adding fluoride to its drinking water supply system - the first in the nation.
Farmington adopted an ordinance to begin the fluoridation of drinking water in 1989.............
