Assignment

You are the public health director for the city. The controversial issue of adding fluoride to water is up for discussion before the City Council. Prepare a presentation (5-10) slides presenting the pros and cons of adding fluoride to the water, specifically in regards to human health. Present your recommendation for or against fluoride in the water with a 1-2 sentence justification as your last slide.

Use at least one peer-reviewed article from the past 5 years. Keep in mind this is a controversial issue so there are many unreliable sources on the internet. Part of your job is to sort through the available evidence to decide about the public health threat or benefit to water fluoride.
