I listened to KONP and Mr. French's unfortunate comment that "100% of the science backs the use of fluoride" is so far off the mark it eliminates him as a serious contender for that seat. Heck, real Scientists still disagree over  whether coffee is good for you or not, so anyone who has studied this red hot issue knows it's really a civil rights issue - the right to choose what you put in your own body. That conversation didn't even define an important aspect to consider which is that there is a WHOLE lot of difference between FSA which is a toxic waste and what they were forcing consumers to pay for and drink and pharmaceutical grade fluoride which is also questionable regarding benefits but still cleaner. Whether or not it works is a matter of personal perspective but if you want to use it, it's not my concern - just don't make me if I don't want to. Not so long ago local doctors used to prescribe cigarettes for pregnant women to "calm their nerves", so we see Science evolves, too.
