“The latest battleground is Portland, Ore., the largest U.S. city that doesn’t put fluoride in its municipal water supply. That appears about to change: A majority of the City Council has signaled a willingness to vote next week in favor of an ordinance to inject fluoride into drinking water, heading off a promised ballot initiative seeking to prevent it. The debate in free-thinking Portland has been a contest between the overwhelming weight of mainstream medical organizations and concerns of some critics about possible links to lower IQ and bone cancer, as well as citizens’ right to choose what is in their water. Oregon voters have rejected water fluoridation three times.”
