| Marketed as an anti-tooth decay improvement, there is increasing evidence that the fluoridation of water may have a range of deleterious effects upon population, probably lowers IQ and may not have much affect on tooth decay. | |
The fluoridation of drinking water is by no means as uncontroversial as the official narrative would have people believe.
Contents
Official narrative
A simple echoing of the official narrative on water fluoridation is provided by a 2013 article by David Grimes in which he praises the practice unreservedly, stating that fluoride in drinking water is safe and effective at preventing dental caries and that the practice "is one of the few health interventions that saves much more money than it costs" and that "it’s easy to dismantle the arguments of anti-fluoridation campaigners". He quotes the Centres for Disease Control that "reviews provide compelling evidence that community water fluoridation is a safe and effective method for reducing tooth decay across all ages".[1]
As of 2017, although efforts continue to expand Fluoridation in some countries (e.g. New Zealand[2]) others (e.g.Scotland)[3] are in the process of questioning its suitability and safety.

History
Many governments around the world have for decades put fluoride in drinking water, and the academic community was for a long time extremely hostile to anyone who challenged this practice.
Toxicity
Extensive research on the history of water fluoridation was done with the book 'The Fluoride Deception' by Christopher Bryson.[4] Fluoride in drinking water has been shown to be strongly correlated with later ADHD prevalence, and high levels of fluoride are correlated with fluorosis and lower IQ.[5][6]
In 2005, a study conducted at the Harvard School of Dental Health found that fluoride in tap water directly contributed to causing bone cancer in young boys.[7]
In 2014, it was classified as a neurotoxin in The Lancet, by a paper which mentioned that "A meta-analysis of 27 cross-sectional studies of children exposed to fluoride in drinking water, mainly from China, suggests an average IQ decrement of about seven points in children exposed to raised fluoride concentrations."[8].
Some areas in China have a high natural level of fluoride, leading to research aiming to find how much to reduce fluoride concentration to make it safe enough to drink.
Reversal of fluoridation
In 2019 a 1971 policy of fluoridation was reversed in an Iowa town.[9][7]

|---|---|---|---|
| Dean Burk | “In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer deaths than any other chemical. When you have power you don’t have to tell the truth. That’s a rule that’s been working in this world for generations. There are a great many people who don’t tell the truth when they are in power in administrative positions. Fluoride amounts to public murder on a grand scale. It is some of the most conclusive scientific and biological evidence that I have come across in my 50 years in the field of cancer research.” | Dean Burk | |
| Murray Rothbard | “It has always been a bit of mystery to me why left-environmentalists, who shriek in horror at a bit of Alar on apples, who cry "cancer" even more absurdly than the boy cried "Wolf," who hate every chemical additive known to man, still cast their benign approval upon fluoride, a highly toxic and probably carcinogenic substance. And not only let fluoride emissions off the hook, but endorse uncritically the massive and continuing dumping of fluoride into the nation's water supply.” | Murray Rothbard | 1993 |

| File:The Fluoride Deception Preview.pdf | Book | 7 March 2006 | Christopher Bryson | This is a preview PDF, which includes only the first 92 pages of this well researched and well referenced expose of water fluoridation in the USA. Bryson draws on many interviews with scientists, and archival research in places such as the newly opened files of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission. The book reveals how and why water was ever fluoridated, and some of the dangers of this practice." |
