Fluoridation of the public drinking water to prevent tooth decay dates back to the early twentieth century, which is about how long people have been objecting to it. The US Centre for Disease Control hails it as one of the ten greatest public health initiatives of the twentieth century.
But there have also been some significant health and ethical concerns over fluoridation. So which is it? Come take a look at the issue with us as we attempt to come to a conclusion, at least of our own, on the issue. Thank you to Annika N. for suggesting this topic. We appreciate all suggestions and endeavor to address them all.
Next time on the podcast, join us when we interview Olivia Murray, professor of education at Portland State University, and author of Queer Inclusion in Teacher Education, a book for everyone about gender, orientation and inclusion in our school systems.
