Politicians use statistics and polls to emphasize the parts of the truth that they want us to believe. But, statistics should not be used as simple talking points. “Gun deaths: are not the same as “gun violence.” Seven people died in Mississippi two weeks ago. Several more were hit by gunfire. Even more were missed. If we ignore those who were nearly hit, we have ignored the reality of danger. Tell us how many shell cases were picked up by police? That's the measure of potential death. Potential is measured by how many bullets missed.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists fluoridation of drinking water as one of 10 great public health interventions of the 20th century because it led to a dramatic decline in cavities after community water fluoridation began.
In 1945, Grand Rapids became the first city to add fluoride to its drinking water supply. In 1962, the U.S. Public Health Service officially recommended adding fluoride to local water to prevent decay.
