The Fluoride Deception
Hailed as a harmless chemical that would prevent tooth decay, new evidence shows how fluoride could be linked to serious health problems. Fluoridation was first advanced in the US at the end of the second World War. Proponents argued that fluoride in water and toothpaste would help to protect teeth and prevent decay. Over the following decades, fluoride was added to public water supplies across the country.
While the benefits of fluoridation have been held to be unquestionable, accumulating evidence points to a frightening prospect: that fluoride may have serious adverse health effects, including infant mortality, congenital defects and IQ. Now a new book, titled “The Fluoride Deception” by Christopher Bryson examines the background of the fluoridation debate. According to Bryson, research challenging fluoride’s safety was either suppressed or not conducted in the first place. He says fluoridation is a triumph not of medical science but of US government spin.

fluoridated water is also toxic to thyroid gland, causing production of hormone to drop, yet mimicking same in lab tests so many, if even tested, are not diagnosed or treated. nazis found it beneficial in water at the death camps, however,noting it made prisoners more managable.
Internet is free and censorship is unacceptable. That having been said, I would still propose, you are more carefull with what you post and how you phrase it. Sensationalism is not science.
Maybe this is sensational as it is news to so many people, but the science is there to back it so I can’t see a reason not to publish it.
I am sorry but there is not one shred of scientific evidence to support this article. As the article itself claims. “research challenging fluoride’s safety was either suppressed or not conducted in the first place”. And that, only on the authors say so.
just do some research yourself and you’ll soon realize how bad it is for you. it’s one of the most TOXIC chemical known to man, the people who’s job it is to put the fluoride in the water have to wear hazard suits and the vats have a skull and cross bone on them. It eats through metal, glass and is the cause of that HUGE sink whole in California. Just do some research and stop believing what THEY are telling you, as they want you to believe its good for you. As Hitler said, “If you tell a lie long and loud enough, people will eventually start to believe it”
Fluoride in water and toothpaste is responsible for hypothyroidism, something which affects the health of thousands of people. Unfortunately the present blood test ranges for diagnosing hypothyroidism are antiquated and many people are suffering as they are not getting a proper diagnosis.

It’s a communist plot to take control of our precious bodily fluids…
LOL. You nailed it.
Actually mikhail is making a very serious statement. Here is an extract from wiki / water fluoridation controversy / cospiracy theories
“Water fluoridation has frequently been the subject of conspiracy theories. During the “Red Scare” in the United States during the late 1940s and 1950s, and to a lesser extent in the 1960s, activists on the far right of American politics routinely asserted that fluoridation was part of a far-reaching plot to impose a socialist or communist regime. They also opposed other public health programs, notably mass vaccination and mental health services.[58] Their views were influenced by opposition to a number of major social and political changes that had happened in recent years: the growth of internationalism, particularly the UN and its programs; the introduction of social welfare provisions, particularly the various programs established by the New Deal; and government efforts to reduce perceived inequalities in the social structure of the United States.”
Nice of you to bring it up again!!!
This is report isn’t sensationalist in the slightest. The dangers of fluoride have been known about for a long time and recent studies are confirming its toxic and deleterious affects on health, those from Harvard and the university of Shenyang in China referenced below.

thanks for this post.
Dear reason,
I am very fond of science. Being so I am also very fond of reading articles and paying attention to detail. Please tell me how you happened to miss the following in the articles that you have brought forward. “Extremely high levels of fluoride”, “high fluoride content”, “high-fluoride areas” etc and that is just in the main article. The scientific reports themselves kick ass, if I may be permitted such language, quoting very spesific fluoride levels which are miles away from those you will find the WHO proposing or in your water supply.
Using “Jane’tt activist pro Fluoridation in our water supply” point, I will direct you to check out what would happen to you if you took a “high” dosage of oxygen. Does that mean we should stop breathing?
“While the benefits of fluoridation have been held to be unquestionable,…”
The benefits of fluoride in preventing dental caries ARE unquestionable. What’s questionable is the practice of putting fluoride compounds into the public water supply, since not all users benefit, and most of the fluoride goes down the drain.
wrong! there are no benifits to dental fluoridation only lies but if consider fluoridosis a good thing…go ahead
Nadine – Where does your information come from on this? Are you disputing that fluoride does not aid in the prevention of dental caries (cavities)? Why would you challenge such an easily verifiable point?
Fluoride may well cause other problems, but its role in preventing cavities is not seriously in dispute anywhere where science holds sway!
Dick, hyou haven’t watched the video, it creates carries by breaking down the enamel, you are one stupid bastard. the aloco’s of the world, instead of spending millions on waste disposal, they sell it to counties, country wide as good for cavity protection when its a nerotoxin, fucking do some more reasearch and keep that pie hole shut, dolt, try some more “research” he try this http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=fluoride%20%20role%20in%20preventing%20cavities%20is%20%20seriously%20in%20dispute%20anywhere%20where%20science%20holds%20sway&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CD0QFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffoundingfather1776.wordpress.com%2Fcategory%2Ffluoride%2Fpage%2F2%2F&ei=vTlkUaWFC7KE0QHxpIHgBw&usg=AFQjCNG1HMwbLyMQQLmdZupDlxCmBSDTlA
European countries don’t put fluoride into their water and their teeth are fine. Their are other factors that affect the health of teeth such as diet that has not been considered in these studies.
Let me try to add to this. Many countries worldwide (why just stick with europe) do not put fluoride into their water. Those that don’t, seek alternative methods such as adding fluoride to table salt (which as we all know is great for the health. Just a bit of irony), don’t need to because their water already contains fluoride or, don’t have a water supply to begin with. The ONLY studies ever conducted on the subject were inconclusive as to the effects of fluoride, at the levels the WHO proposes. Here are some of them :

Thank you Yiannis for giving correct Scientific information!
Fluoride opponents are fond of stating that that the bags containing the sodium fluoride used to fluoridate Arcata’s water are labelled “TOXIC.” The bags contain pure sodium fluoride and this substance, if ingested in large quantities (such as dipping your spoon into the bag and eating it), is indeed toxic. However, simply because something is toxic under certain circumstances (e.g. high dose) does not make it toxic under all circumstances, and certain “toxic substances” are actually necessary for life. Iodine (which is in the same periodic table group as fluorine) is also toxic when ingested in large quantities. However if iodine were not added to table salt, the incidence of thyroid disease (goiter) would increase because this element is necessary for health. Oxygen administered at 100% under pressure is also toxic, which is why divers do not use pure oxygen. Even pure water can be toxic if one ingests too much of it.
HEY!!! I came in to write just that only to find that you had stolen my lines!!! Are you a government agent too or do you simply use your reason to come to your inescapable conclusions?
I know fluoride DOES help prevent cavities in some people. I know for a fact that my mom and also my friend’s mom put fluoride drops in our drinks when we were children. We both are 23 years old now and have never had a cavity. His younger brother and my older brother, also have never had a cavity. I, when growing up would brush my teeth usually once a day, just in the morning before school. I ate tons of sugary foods such as chocolate, cookies, pop, koolaid, and juices, etc. I would brush my teeth at night sometimes if I remembered to. I also never flossed my teeth, still to this day even when I had my braces for three years, only twice a year when I go to the dentist, when they do it for me. With that being said, in my mind I believe it does work in preventing tooth decay. I don’t know, maybe its just a coincidence that all 4 of us, all who had fluoride as children, don’t have cavities. I’ll let you guys know if I have any adverse side affects from it in the coming years. Anyone who believe this crap about the gov trying to control us with the water are fucking paranoid lol. The gov is fucked, but the water is fine. Just drop it.
Flouride is good for the teeth.. not the body or ingesting it.. know the difference.
Yiannis, how much government is paying you ?
Let me see if I understand your thinking.
IF I need proof, in the form of scientific experiment and research, to even consider acknowledging a theory, I am a government agent.
IF I accept everything that someone says, with no more reason than the promise of scandal and conspiracy, then I am a cool Joe.
Is that it?
No wonder the world is going down the drain.
I can’t take ANY one of you seriously, because not one comment has been without spelling or grammatical error. Go back to school.
In NL they put chloride into the water, to kill bacterias. Chloride is also not good for your body. But you need water every day. The best is probably have groundwater pump in your garden and then cook it before you drink it (but probably you can drink it without cooking first), anyway if you live in a skyscraper then you’ll need a very long tube under your waterpump hahaha.
“Over the following decades, fluoride was added to public water supplies across the country.”
“Fluoride may have serious adverse health effects, including infant mortality, congenital defects and IQ.”
Hehe… So next time I call an American stupid…
Nah. Just kiddin.
Well, I don’t need to make any research about this matter because it’s a matter of common sense. If I want to drink a glass of water (that should be H2O in liquid state) that’s all. If I want to spice my meal with salt, again, that’s all I want to do. Now, why in hell should I want fluor on my water? Why in hell should I want fluor on my salt? Because of my teeth health? Well then, if that is the train of thought, they should add C vitamin (for my inmune system), calcium (for my bones), magnesium (to fix the calcium to my bones), and why not a little protein (for my muscles). But they just add… Fluor. Well I guess we should all be thankful for this, cause they do the hardest part. If you want C vittamin, Calcium, Magnesium… we just have to buy some multi-vitamin anywhere and it’s done. But fluor, well that’s the tricky part. Fluor it’s toxic indeed, so agressive that melts down glass but they say is good for my teeth smalt, nice. And hey! Fluor is the unwanted result in the alumino manufacture process (I mean, waste, industrial waste, toxic waste) so two birds in a row… Toxic waste in behalf of public health! God bless america. Cheers!
Sodium fluoride was is to fluoridate water. This is used in rat poison. Please stop drinking it.
FACTS ABOUT FLUORIDE
- Fluoride is a waste by-product of the fertilizer and aluminum industry and it’s also a Part II Poison under the UK Poisons Act 1972.
- Fluoride is one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin nerve gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUoride).
- USAF Major George R. Jordan testified before Un-American Activity committees of Congress in the 1950’s that in his post as U.S.-Soviet liaison officer, the Soviets openly admitted to “Using the fluoride in the water supplies in their concentration camps, to make the prisoners stupid, docile, and subservient.”
- The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in Germany’s Nazi prison camps. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride’s supposed effect on children’s teeth; their alleged reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force the people in their concentration camps into calm submission. (Ref. book: “The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben” by Joseph Borkin.)
- 97% of western Europe has rejected fluoridated water due to the known health risks, however 10% of Britons drink it and the UK government is trying to fast track the fluoridation of the entire country’s water supply.
- In Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg fluoridation of water was rejected because it was classified as compulsive medication against the subject’s will and therefore violated fundamental human rights.
- In November of 2006, the American Dental Association (ADA) advised that parents should avoid giving babies fluoridated water.
I wonder about your insistense on perverting and twisting facts or quoting ouright falsehoods. Do you have a degree in ANYTHING sir or do you believe that education is also a cospiracy by the government to control the population?
Please excuse the question but I am not going to waste another hour of my life on gathering evidence (with links) for someone who in another era would burn witches on the stake.
The brain washing is deep on you supporters of fluoride! It is a hazardous waste of industry and they have cleverly found a way to dispose of it at a profit! Wake the hell up out of your fluoride coma!
If you want to prevent dental cavities, brush and floss your teeth, and eat healthy food. The less chemicals we ingest, the better. It isn’t science, it is common sense.
Totally agree. I have fluoride treatments occasionally at the dentist and have no problem with it being in my toothpaste but it absolutely should not be in the water, where we cannot control our consumption or moderate our own health. Whether you’re for or against the use of fluoride there is one common sense conclusion, that we all have a right to access clean, uncontaminated water and the government putting chemicals (whether objectively ‘safe’ or not) infringes on an individuals essential right to water by giving them no choice other than to ingest fluoride.
The money should be put into dental care itself, where people can elect to have it or not.
I am brushing my teeth without using any tooth paste for several years now. Never had cleaner teeth as I have now. So, before arguing whether fluoride is good or bad for your health, maybe a better question is: do we need it? Why spend money on something that is not needed? Don’t trust something someone is saying. Try for yourself and see if it works for you. Leave the arguments for the others.
Of course, there’s another question about your nutrition. I am vegan and biggest part of my food is in raw state – no processed sugars and lots of fiber. If you consume lots of sweets and the like the use of tooth paste might be inevitable.
I am a exercise physiologist with a 6 year university degree. I deal with severe overweight patients with hormonal deficiencies. One major factor in the development of these is fluorides affect of anabolic fat mobilisation hormones. The first poa for overweight patients – ensure you are drinking fluoride free water. Within 2 weeks energy levels are through the roof with improved mental alertness and clarity.
Some pretty backward ass statements being made here. The study of Fluoride has been done many times over and the results couldn’t be me more clear. Completely stupid to ingest. There are sooooooo many things to factor into the health of your teeth but lets narrow down a few. First genetics, brushing your teeth, properly and more than once a day, drinking the right amount of water, white flour & white sugar, cigarettes, alcohol, getting punched in the mouth ( couldn’t resist that ) , stress, etc. The active ingredient in rat poison is? Fluoride! The fluoride produced for our water consumption is the waste by product of pesticides….that’s right, pesticides. And if you don’t know how bad those are for ya? This conversation is mute. Edward Bernese introduced the use of fluoride for the shear purpose of waste disposal ( look it up ) in the early 1900′s. The government to a liking to Mr. Bernese and started a campaign convincing the public with very little evidence, if any, that it could prevent cavities. ( “Forks over Knives” on Netflix covers this subject well ) Hitler used fluoride on his prisoners to sedate them and made it a lot easier for them to control. In fact, it causes calcification over your pineal gland. Your pineal gland is the size of a grain of rice. It governs quite a bit but here are couple of functions you wouldn’t want to mess with. Your thyroid, melatonen and it is also said that this is your spiritual 3rd eye. There are studies also indicating it’s contribution to depression. Now that’s worth looking into! There are thousands of doctors around the country speaking up about it. Alaska had it removed from there water and other countries are fighting this heated battle.
