<p>We should approve the use of fluoride in drinking water for its benefits. Something that few people know is that fluoride is actually a natural compound. Fluoridation is not a process in which a foreign element is dumped into our drinking water system but instead, as I stated above, it is a natural compound that exists naturally in our water. According to fluorideworks.org, a study was made under Washington State's Environmental Protection Act, was conducted in Tacoma-Pierce County to investigate any environmental consequences of introducing optimal levels of fluoride into drinking water. The study concluded that there are "no probable significant adverse environmental impacts", and have no harmful impact on plants and animals. Knowing that there are no harmful effects of this process, we could continue confidently in using it to benefit out health. Regardless of age income or education, fluoridated drinking water benefits entire communities from children to adults and seniors. To receive these benefits is as simple as simply drinking water. If you would like to learn more, I have provided a link below to a source of information for benefits and facts of fluoridation. </p><p>fluorideworks.org</p>
