Portland, Ore., is the country’s largest city that does not add fluoride to the water supply to fight tooth decay. On Friday, Mayor Sam Adams announced he will vote in favor of fluoridation.
I will. RT @msmith215 @MayorSamAdams Please vote yes to fluoridate #PDX water

Fluoride has long been the focus of conspiracy theories involving government mind control, the Illuminati and the New World Order.
Fruitloopy Liberals in Portland, OR have banned Fluoride from drinking water for decades…morons think it's a govt mind control drug!

The mayor’s support of the fluoride initiative didn’t go over too well with some Portland residents.

Ban Red Bull if you want to stop cavities, @MayorSamAdams, but leave Portland's water alone.

@MayorSamAdams I disagree heavily with this. Keep chemicals out of our water.

Most major metropolitan areas in the United States have fluoridated water.
