A fair shake at the fluoridation story would include the current NTP #fluoride report, the TSCA #fluoridelawsuit, and the NIH-funded studies on fluoride neurotoxicity. Back in 1999, Salon did a much better job covering fluoridation, “Questions about the safety of this cavity-fighting chemical aren’t just for right-wing […]
