text: James Reeves - Fluoridation is based on 70 years of continuing science.  That is why the scientific consensus of experts that fluoridation is safe and effective has not changed. 
  
  You can’t get anything right, can you? You can’t even quote your own highly biased, un-reviewed source, the Case Against Fluoride, correctly. It is customary for scientists to count only individual, unique references, and not count duplicate referrals to the same reference – which is a good way to inflate the numbers. There are not “1,200 references (over 80 pages)” as anyone who reads the book can easily discover. The majority of those “references” are not to legitimate scientific research anyway.  This book of fiction was published in 2010, so it hardly qualifies as current work in any case.
  
  If Connett's fiction is the best "CURRENT science" it is obvious why fluoridation opponents have been unable to change the consensus and why over 100 organizations continue to recognize the benefits of fluoridation.
