Why is this important?

The Food and Drug Administration wants comments by the public and the profession on a petition to add potassium fluoride, KF, a micronutrient, to Iodized table salt for both the prevention of Iodine Deficiency Disease and Dental Decay. If your town is too small to have Community Water Fluoridation for prevention of dental decay, this fluoridated/iodized table salt will put 1 mg of fluoride in your diet to reduce decay by 40 to 60 percent, just like water fluoridation.
