USA - A new push to stop adding fluoride to Burlington's water supply
Burlington, Vermont - December 16, 2010
A new push to stop adding fluoride to Burlington's water supply.
Supporters of the 50-year-old practice say it helps prevent cavities. Voters chose to continue fluoridation in a city-wide referendum in 2006.
But critics point to a study that came out after that vote showing fluoride poses numerous health risks.
A subcommittee of the Public Works Commission studied the issue and is recommending to the city council that fluoridation be discontinued.
