Sounds like they drank the fear mongering kool-aid instead of flourinated water. Enjoy those higher dental costs asshats.

Why the hell would anyone want the govt adding chemicals to the water supply? I’ve never understood the point. Are we to stupid to take care of our health?
not all fluoride is equal.
sodium fluoride is a waste byproduct of other chemical processes, is toxic to humans, and that is what is put in drinking water and toothpaste.
calcium fluoride is what the body needs to help your teeth and bones. it is not an industrial byproduct and is much more expensive compared to sodium fluoride, and so it is not used by water departments and toothpaste makers.
The kkk opposed water fluoridation years ago. Does this mean Portland, Ore is a (gasp) RACIST city?
How DARE these miserable voters reject what WE decide is good for them!!They actually forced a referendum, instead of simply ignoring how we piss away their money!
Fluoride is a deadly toxin. While small amounts of it on the surface of yr teeth may help prevent cavities, it is not meant to ever be ingested. Certainly not in your daily water consumption. Also, fluoride on teeth is not as good for them as other minerals and vitamins k2 and d3.
Portland is lucky -— they were not fooled by the government decision to get rid of neurotoxic fluoride waste product by putting it into the water supply.
Fluoride chemicals added to public water supplies, boosts lead absorption in lab animals’ bones, teeth and blood, report Sawan, et al. (Toxicology 2/2010). Earlier studies already show children’s blood-lead-levels are higher in fluoridated communities, reports Sawan’s research team.
“…exposure to increased amounts of lead and fluoride occurs at about the same age (1-3 years)… Therefore, this is a critical time when systemic exposure to fluoride should be minimized since fluoride may increase lead accumulation,” the researchers caution.
Low-level lead exposure is associated with lower IQ, ADHD and many health and behavior ailments.
Sorry, I can’t resist...
