Question:

Fluoridation of drinking water has long been a controversial issue in the United States. One of the first communities to add fluoride to their water was Newburgh, New York. In March 1944, a plan was announced to begin to add fluoride to the Newburgh water supply on April 1 of that year. During the month of April, citizens of Newburgh complained of digestive problems, which were attributed to the fluoridation of the water. However, there had been a delay in the installation of the fluoridation equipment so that fluoridation did not begin until May 2. Explain how the placebo effect/nocebo effect is related to this example.
