Wow, what a great set of facts to start the week learning about. Who knew? Definitely not me. And here I thought Flouride was a simple toothpaste compound. This is why this is the best newsletter and best way to start the day. Interesting, educational and just well written. These history to today articles are among my favorites!
Interesting. I enjoy historical facts like these. We take much for granted when story is unknown. Thanks.

When I was a kid I was involved in being given flouride at school. I did an AI search to verify:
Fluoride was still considered a new public‑health intervention.
Schools were common sites for early fluoride exposure programs.
Children were sometimes grouped for supervised fluoride dosing.
Parents were often told their children were part of a “program,” “trial,” or “study,” even when it wasn’t a formal clinical trial.
Your school participated in an early fluoride tablet or rinse program.
Children were divided into groups (e.g., those receiving fluoride vs. those who already had fluoridated water at home).
Teachers or nurses described it in a way that a child might interpret as being in a “control group.”
