I think the answer, as (Jokic) said after the playoffs, and it was obviously no,” Kroenke Sports & Entertainment vice chairman Josh Kroenke said. “So we need to take a hard look at how we can raise our ceiling going forward, whether that’s internally or externally.

, according to health officials. It was long considered among the greatest public health achievements of the last century.Fluoride fortifies teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tear, according to the CDC. It’s especially important to children whose teeth are still developing. For some low-income families, public drinking water containing fluoride may be their only source of preventative dental care.

Some supporters of the Utah law pointed to studies linking high levels of fluoride exposure to illness and low IQ in kids. The National Institutes of Health says it’s “virtually impossible” to get a toxic dose from fluoride added to water or toothpaste at standard levels.Elaine Oaks, a Bountiful resident and trustee of her local water district, said it’s not the role of government to decide that the entire population should receive fluoride in their drinking water. Individuals and parents should be able to make that decision for themselves, she said.Before signing the bill, Cox said there is no difference in health outcomes between communities with and without fluoride — a statement Utah dentists say is false.

“Any dentist can look in someone’s mouth in Utah and tell exactly where they grew up. Did you grow up in a fluoridated area or a non-fluoridated area? We can tell by the level of decay,” said Dr. James Bekker, a pediatric dentist at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.The law shifts responsibility to individuals, meaning all Utah residents will need to be proactive about their oral health, Harvey said. Most patients at her clinic only come in when a toothache becomes unbearable, and many cannot spare the few dollars a month needed to buy fluoride supplements to add to their drinking water at home.

Figueroa, the free dental clinic patient, said other expenses take priority.

Fluoride toothpaste alone is insufficient for children because it doesn’t penetrate the tooth’s outer layer, Bekker said. When a person regularly ingests fluoridated water, their saliva bathes the teeth in fluoride throughout the day and makes them stronger.(“Perks of Being a Wallflower”) working off of a script by Liz Maccie, whom he is married to, and based on the true story of a New Yorker named Joe Scaravella (Vince Vaughn) who starts a Staten Island restaurant with Italian grandmothers as the chefs.

Joe has no business savvy or restaurant knowledge, just an idea after the loss of his own mother and grandmother. He just wants to pay tribute to the way that they always made him feel with their cooking in the kitchen. There’s a gauzy, sun soaked flashback to the neighborhood in the 1960s showing a young Joe watching his mother and grandmother make the Sunday sauce that’s so idealized, so full of smiles as substitute for character, it might as well be a Prego commercial.There is an obvious reverence for cultural predecessors like “Moonstruck” and “My Cousin Vinny” baked into “Nonnas,” though it can’t quite find the natural rhythm that might have made it work better. It whiplashes between big comedic swings (including a food fight between the feuding nonnas) and utter sincerity and it is in no rush to get anywhere fast.

But perhaps the greatest miscalculation is centering the story on Joe instead of the women. The nonnas are met where they are in life — a former nun (Shire), a hair salon owner (Sarandon), a retiree (Bracco) who’s estranged from her kids and a widow (Vaccaro) who needs to get out of the house. It seems like there was a missed opportunity to get to know their stories and recipes more. If food is love, give the audience a chance to fall in love with them through their favorite dishes. Instead, they bond not over food or new appreciation of one another’s heritage, but a makeover.Still, it’s worth noting that “Nonnas” is not nearly as gimmicky as it could have been. Vaughn is good in a more subdued role — the stereotypes-for-comedy’s-sake are left for his friends (
