Despite a visit from State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, commissioners in Delray Beach voted to keep fluoride in the city's water system.

By a 3 to 2 vote, the City Commission this week notes that concerns about a potential growing number of young residents suffering from tooth decay outweighed concerns over studies promoted by Florida's Surgeon General.
