Fluoride double-blind studies are needed about as much as studies to determine whether windmills turn when the wind blows or harbor buoys rise when the tide comes in [“Leskinovitch critic,” Peninsula Voices, Sept. 14].
While the North Olympic Peninsula is the finest place to live in North America, there are many other places where there is a huge accumulation of knowledge and experience with fluoridated drinking water, both natural and added, for well over a century.
Ignoring this accumulated knowledge of the benefits of fluoridated drinking water deprives the community’s children of the opportunity of a lifetime of enhanced dental health.
Port Angeles residents need to look, listen and learn as did Darwin, Einstein and the surgeon general.
