ONCE again, the question of forced medication of our water supply, via fluoride, raises its ugly head.

Why must we be faced with this undemocratic compulsion? Continental Europe has virtually no fluoridation. Holland has banned fluoridation. Germany, Denmark and Sweden stopped it and Portugal, Greece, Belgium and Austria long ago ended flouridation.

France, Italy and Norway never even tried flouridation, rejecting it out of hand.

They all obviously know something we do not. I wonder what? Can nobody find out?
