For nearly a century, government agencies in the U.S. have been proponents of adding fluoride to public water as a means of reducing the incidence of tooth decay. To date, there is no clinical evidence to support such a claim. Around the world, agencies have produced numerous studies suggesting the direct opposite, that the systemic consumption (via water) of fluoride may have sever health side effects. Most recently, a Harvard study published findings suggesting that the toxicity of fluoridated water is an issue that "definitely deserves concern." The pro-fluoride lobby showed intention to deceive the residents of Wichita, Kansas, earlier this year, mis-quoting the Harvard study in an effort to garner public support for the local fluoridation program. Read more about this controversial issue, and learn why communities are increasingly turning towards fluoride-free water, only on the Miami Dentist Blog.
