Fluoride wars: how a modest public health measure became America's longest running political melodrama

This book seeks to discuss both sides of the issue, without offering a prejudiced opinion for one or the other, in order to present a social history of thefluoridation debate in America. As the authors guide the reader through the historical record, the scientific evidence, the personal enmities, the complex motives driving each side, the legal challenges presented, and the political battles, it will become clear that there is some truth on both sides of the fence. The book hopes not only to offer a retrospective look at a fascinating slice of American history, but also to act as an object lesson for todays environmental battles, where we are faced with a similar tale of clashing absolutes in regards to the issue of global warming.
