Nebraska keeps fighting over fluoride
September 29, 2009
After the state of Nebraska mandated widespread
public votes about public-water fluoridation last year, a
large number of communities voted down those proposals. That issue, however, is coming back in a few communities which are
re-voting on the issue. Fluoridation occurs naturally in many water sources, and it has been shown to deliver extremely effective protection for teeth at very low cost. After decades of practical use, the
safe levels for fluoridation are well known, and the incidental risks to health from overexposure can be minimized through
effective fluoride monitoring.
