  • It isn’t banned in Oregon. Many communities have simply decided not to do it. Hillsboro recently voted to stop fluoridating their water, for example.

    This would be the first time an entire state has literally banned the practice.

    And it’s stupid. There are maps of the US that show which states have the lowest/highest rates of dental caries. The states with the lowest rates just happen to have mandatory water fluoridation, and the states with the lowest rates of fluoridation all have the worst dental health. Meanwhile there’s zero evidence that drinking fluoridated water has negative health effects.
