If your teeth could talk,
they surely would tell you —
“Keep the Fluoride Coming!!”
(But since they can’t, let some really caring and knowledgeable people speak for them!)
Community water fluoridation is one of the most successful public-health programs ever. All of the scientific evidence is on one side: fluoridation helps teeth and hurts no one! Which is why so many professionals, leaders and groups in Boulder and around the world strongly support fluoridation. Wanting you to know about their support are:
- Dentists and other caring health professionals in Boulder. more
- “Whom do you want to believe and trust? Is it a local attorney who has no formal training in public health issues or medical science and makes unsubstantiated claims that mislead people? Or, would you rather believe your family physician and dentist as well as the overwhelming majority of local and national health organizations that support water fluoridation?”
— David Jackson, DDS (2006)
- Responsible community leaders in Boulder more
- “A bunch of retro-fluoride zealots [have] put a ridiculous proposal on the fall ballot requiring the elimination of fluoridation in Boulder’s water supply. Some of us are old enough to remember the highly charged and equally irrational debate about fluoridation that took place decades ago. Back then, fluoridation was a huge Commie plot intended to kill us or seize up our brain matter and make us all stupid.”
— Bob Greenlee, former Mayor (2006)
- Knowledgeable scientific & health professionals and organizations worldwide more
- “Fluoridation is the single most important commitment a community can make to the oral health of its children and to future generations.”
— C. Everett Koop, former Surgeon General of the United States (1981-1989)
- Lots of other concerned people and groups more
- “If you live in a community with fluoridated water, consider yourself lucky. If you do not, don’t let the poisonmongers scare you. Fluoridation is still a modern health miracle.”
— Quackwatch (1993)
Every person and organization mentioned would urge continuation of water fluoridation in Boulder.
