Mansell Backs City Water Fluoridation
Health officer notes fluoridation is safe effective and economical. Dr Litwack cites 522 percent of Americans on public water and 10 million in naturally fluoridated areas. States with fluoridation include Michigan Delaware Illinois Connecticut and more. cities like New York Chicago Baltimore Cleveland Denver Detroit Indianapolis Philadelphia and San Francisco already fluoridate. California Long Beach could save about 36 million in dental bills by 1980 with a ten cent per person annual cost for fluoridation. Long Beach water comes from the Colorado River and blends. Fluoride level now .4 ppm would rise to 1 ppm under proposed plan, which Litwack says is the minimum needed for protection.
