A review of the history
of fluoridation reveals that
nature herself has led to the
of this preven-

ly as 1916, dental research-
ers observed that people
were more resistant to at-
tack by dental decay in ar-
eas where drinking water
contained natural fluoride.

By 1942 the U.S. Pub-
lic Health Service had de-

termined that natural flu-

oride concentrations for a
large number of water sup-
plies and had examined the
dental health of residents
drinking the water. By com-
