Fluoridation is the adjustment of fluoride in drinking water to a level effective for preventing tooth decay. The award recognizes those communities that achieved excellence in community water fluoridation by maintaining a consistent level of fluoride in drinking water throughout 2014.
“The water quality in our community is vital to the health and wellbeing of our residents,” said Brian Hanft, Environmental Health Service Manager, Cerro Gordo County Department of Public Health. “We are very proud to work alongside the Mason City Water Department. Over the years, the Water Department has proven to be a valuable public health partner and we congratulate them on this well-deserved recognition that promotes oral health.”

When we are finished with GMO lets take a look at FLO !
That reminds me, I need to change my water filter….
Why do they care about our teeth so much, yet the air smells bad most of the time and the constant noise from motorcycles, pickup trucks..not to mention the “coal rolling” and what not from those idiots…all the drugs and crime, but they’ll be damned if we suffer from tooth decay!
I’ll be cautious about anything that’s “free” coming from the government.

The EPA lists fluoride as a chemical with substantial evidence of developmental neurotoxicity.
Plus can cause Skeletal fluorosis.
Also I’ve read that Hitler used fluoride in the water at concentration camps to make the prisoners easier to control, more docile.
But then again, maybe that’s what we need for all the trouble makers around here, Drink up!! And stay thirsty my friend!
I’ll take my chances and filter my water.
I bet dentists hate this chemical. Fluoride and health, is a debatable subject.
