Question

The city council is considering discussing whether or not to put fluoride in the city's water supply. Many other towns add it already, but your town wants to research the topic before they make a decision. Which would be the best group for them to ask for information on the topic?

citizens from the town who are interested in the topic
the company that supplies fluoride
a report from an independent scientific research firm
citizens from another town that currently add fluoride to their water

Answer 1

They should look for a report from an independent scientific research firm,
even if they have to pay for it.

In preparing its report, the firm would have already surveyed many of the
citizens from several other towns that currently add fluoride to their water,
plus a lot of other relevant medical research on the subject.

Answer 2

''a report from an independent scientific research firm'' would be the best answer
