text: Nyscof, a.k.a. the “Media Relations Director” for the New York antifluoridationist faction, “FAN”:
  
  
  1.  There is no valid science, “modern”, or otherwise which shows anything other than fluoride at the optimal level at which water is fluoridated, provides prevention of significant amounts of dental decay, with any claims of adverse effects having no merit, whatsoever..........as evidenced by nyscof’s inability to provide any valid evidence to support her claims.
  
  2.  Nyscof’s “4700 professionals” is a reference to a worldwide survey of her “FAN”.  Within this group are approximately 350 dentists, and 550 MDs.  There are 175,000 dentists and 900,000 MDs in the US alone.  Nyscof could not have provided a more vivid example of the negligible amount of opposition existing amongst respected healthcare.
