Interesting: Fluoride pioneer Grand Rapids rethinks safety of putting chemical in water

Will the city that became the first in the world to fluoridate its drinking water decide to discontinue use of the chemical?

I've read some pretty compelling arguments against water fluoridation, such as this one from the Environmental Working Group: National Academy Calls for Lowering Fluoride Limits in Tap Water

If Grand Rapids is rethinking fluoridating its water, surely Ann Arbor won't be far behind. I think if there's any doubt whatsoever about the safety of fluoride, they should stop adding it to the water system. In looking at the most recent Ann Arbor water quality report available online (from 2006), it looks like Ann Arbor keeps fluoridation levels on the low side, at 1.13 mg/l, rather than the maximum 4 mg/l, the level at which the NAS says causes dental fluorosis in a large percentage of children.
