Fluoride

Ted Feder, DDS, is totally missing the point regarding a main reason many of us are against having fluoride added to our tap water (Letters to the Valley Edition, Jan. 24). The point is, I do not want to be forced into drinking an additive I believe is dangerous and unnecessary. Those of you who want it should add it to your own water (fluoride drops, tablets, whatever).

I resent Feder’s comment that those who don’t want it [should] buy bottled water. We have the right to safe tap water and are paying for it. If he wants fluoride for himself and his kids, then he and others should add it to their own water, but not force it on the rest of us.
