Ebru Today - Joyce Hillary on the New NJ Bill Mandating Fluoridation of Drinking Water

Ebru Today's legal analyst Joyce Hillary, Esq., discusses a new bill in New Jersey that will mandate adding fluoride to our drinking water.

Is mandating that fluoride be added to public drinking water justified to prevent dental cavities or is it akin to compulsory medication that violates civil liberties and infringes on civil rights?

**The issue of mandatory fluoridation of drinking water is under consideration by New Jersey legislators. Earlier this year, a New Jersey Bill, S-959, was approved (by a vote of 8-0 of the Assembly Health Committee) that will require water utilities to add fluoride to all municipal water supplies. The Bill is now headed to a full Assembly vote unless members move to block it.
