"In about 60% of 2000 referenda held in the U.S. since
1950, fluoridation has been voted down." -- Zev
Ramba, Washington Bureau Editor of AGD Impact (the publication
of the Academy of General Dentistry). Quoted in the Chemical & Engineering News (8/1/88).
"Avoid a referendum. The statistics are that 3 out of
4 fluoridation referenda fail."- Susan Allen, RDH, BS
Fluoridation Coordinator, Public Health Dental Program, State Health
Office, Florida. May 7, 1990. (See
photocopy of letter)
"The fact that nearly 3 out of every 5 communities
which vote on the issue have rejected fluoridation, year after year,
does in all likelihood represent a collective judgment on the part
of the public that, when all things are considered, fluoridation
is not an acceptable public health measure." -
