    Zeynep Tufekci When I joined protests against the looming Iraq invasion in 2002, my American friends thought I was being exceptionally brave because I was only here on a student visa. I laughed.

Kennedy Jr. took office as the secretary of health and human services. Last week he announced that as part of his plan to "make America healthy again," he would call for an end to fluoridation. Utah has already banned it. Florida is now proposing to do so, and other states seem poised to follow.

If fluoridation ends, what will occur is no mystery.
