Dr Mark Brehanna, today we're diving into a super controversial topic that's having a pretty

0:06.3

seismic shift in our public health policy.

0:09.9

And that topic and that breaking news pretty recent is that a federal court threw down the gauntlet

0:16.4

challenging the safety of fluoride in our drinking water and ordering the EPA to revisit its standards when it comes to fluoride.
