Another important highlight in the study was that fluoride still protects adult teeth even if they were not exposed to treated water in childhood. It is a common misconception that tooth decay is primarily a childhood issue. In reality, adults are equally as prone to decay.

The Federal Centers for Disease Control named the addition of fluoride to water as one of the 10 greatest public health achievements in the 20th century. Fluoride is quite common in our everyday lives and does not affect the smell, taste or appearance of water. It is a common ingredient in toothpaste and has been used in public water supplies for more than 60 years. Studies show that the best way to get optimal results is through day-to-day use.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen enamel. The amount of fluoride in water is too marginal to have any detrimental health effects. In a 2008 survey, 62 percent of Canadians supported the addition of fluoride to their drinking water.**

Though not life threatening, tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. It seriously affects quality of life and is the fourth most expensive disease to treat.***

Statistics Canada reports that, nationwide, women hold approximately 80.3 percent of the country's 17,350 bookkeeping positions. Men hold just 19.7 percent of those jobs.

Female dominance in bookkeeping is actually down from 20 years ago, when women held about 84 percent of bookkeeping positions, Statistics Canada reports.

Why are so many women attracted to bookkeeping? Statistics Canada doesn't explain directly, but a clue might be found in the fact only about half of bookkeepers work full time. This field's general flexibility is particularly attractive to people who have to split their attention between career and family.

Other interesting facts contained in the Statistics Canada report include:

• Overall, employment prospects for bookkeepers are rated as "good."
• Most bookkeepers – 60 percent -- have some postsecondary education, but do not have a bachelor's degree.
• Half of bookkeepers are employed in the professional, technical and scientific services field, or in accounting, tax preparation, booking and payroll services.
