We Need to Fluoridate Hawaii's Drinking Water
Of the 100 largest states in the U.S., only Honolulu does NOT fluoridate it's drinking water! It provides improved lifetime protection against tooth decay for children. It is inexpensive, simple, and safe to add to the water and is very effective in reducing tooth decay by permanently hardening the enamel of children's teeth.
Why is this important?
Fluoridation of drinking water in Hawaii is a subject we need more education about in Hawaii. Fluride is a naturally occurring mineral, not "toxic waste" as it has been mislabeled. It protects children's teeth and is very safe when added in normal amounts (1 p.p.m.).
