NEWS STORY: Phoenix Fluoride Debate Hopes to Impact City Council Decision

Posted: September 10, 2012

In a first-of-its-kind debate on Wednesday night two experts gave Phoenix residents a lot to think about before they drink their next glass of water.

Dr. Howard Farran, DDS, MBA, MAGD, an Ahwatukee Foothills dentist and one of the original proponents for fluoridating Phoenix’s water supply, faced Dr. Paul Connett, Ph.D., a retired professor of environmental chemistry and toxicology and director of the Fluoride Action Network, on the issue of whether or not the city should continue to fluoridate the water supply.

Phoenix has been fluoridating its water since 1989, adjusting the fluoride levels in tap water from .3 parts per million to .7 ppm. On Tuesday, the Phoenix Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee, chaired by City Councilwoman Thelda Williams, will vote on whether or not to continue this practice. In order to give a balanced view of the issue a group of Phoenix residents asked the two experts to debate publicly at Phoenix College.
