Pinellas County will soon be taking fluoride out of its drinking water to due to a vote by County Commissioners (4-3) to have it removed. What you may not be aware of is that taking fluoride out of our drinking water will cause long term health issues, will cost taxpayers millions of dollars annually, and that this vote looks to set off a domino effect, with other Bay area counties looking to follow suit, including our very own Hillsborough County.

If you’re like most people, you’re probably wondering what is fluoride, why is it in our water, and why should you care?
