After so much supervisor fanfare to push fluoridation, this move of suddenly dropping their own next step was not in the PD or anywhere easily noticed but don't celebrate yet.
Thanks to the August Gazette, "shortly before the May 19 meeting that was planned to present the recommendations of the 'Fluoride Advisory Committee', BOS chair Susan Gorin phoned a member of the committee and told him simply the matter had been removed from the agenda..... Asked whether the controversial toxin will be considered in the coming months, individual supervisors, two of whom will run for relection soon had no comment".
In other words, after paying them for 7 years of wasted time and promotion amounting to $1,000,000.00 wasted Sonoma County taxpayer dollars, our suddenly silent and refusing to be transparent supervisors are now playing us even further and hoping no one hears their closed-lips screaming ulterior motive.
The Gazette also cited numerous recent reports undermining fluoride benefits, one stating that any benefit was 'topical only' - which I don't think would outweigh the dangers in the least - but even if true, does nothing to address what I consider to be the primary problem. Are these 'poor kids' with bad teeth drinking much water at all or are their parents mindlessly buying them huge amounts of the #1 cause of kid tooth rotting which is soft drinks with phosphoric and citric acid?
